We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Great, friendly staff! Clean, comfortable, bright Hostel! A cozy spot away from home! Places to gather and the kitchen on the lower level especially was a gem!
The Voodoo Lounge around the corner is great and it was a treat to be so central to everything! Grand THANK YOU!!!!

The selling point is the super good location. It can’t be beat, right near the train station. After a long day of travel just to get to Edinburgh, that was a sweet relief
Eh, the hostel scene is not our thing but it was good enough for the price. The floors were a little uneven.
