This hostel is good for a few days the room very well but does not have a table or chairs my room overlooked a pub and you heard a lot but little time the worst that there is no heating in the bathroom only in the rooms and the kitchen a little dirty and that we arrived at 12 nocje and on the web did not say that it closed at 11 o'clock at night and opens at 8 o'clock in the morning and we were in the street but there are more hostels nearby so we went to another hostel for one night very well located in the center of old Edinburgh

Poor value for 1 double room.

Well placed in the historic center of the city but very noisy street. Room right in front of a large beer garden, with live music, screen and large terrace filled even in the middle of the week until late at night. Spartan room, without bedside light, tired bedding, shared toilets and still £ 75 for 2, or at least 90 € without breakfast. Really not interesting in this case while 1 dormitory bed of 6 costs £ 15, so good for 1 person on a budget.

Bonne auberge de jeunesse, très bien placée dans Edimbourg. Mais la rue est très bruyante surtout la nuit.
