It's a clean hostel, location is very good. Even the level of noise is acceptable, especially if you have plugs for ears.
The check-in process is very complicated. I had to provide them with my ID, date of birth, home address and even next destination point for my journey. What? Also I received several letters reminding me to pay for my room (it was paid while booking, non-refundable payment) and asking me to install an app for check-in. This hostel wants more information for one night than my landlord for renting. Be aware

Pleasant
The room itself and the private bathroom were pretty clean, no issues with that.
We waited almost an hour after the official check-in time until we could get to our rooms. Considering that we had less than 24 hours in Edinburgh, this waiting time was crucial for our plans, since many cafes and shops close early there.
And before check-in time, we wanted to leave our luggage, but there was no one at the reception, so we waited for at least half an hour.
Also, the common kitchen was disgusting. I couldn't imagine cooking there.
The window in our room was overlooking a bar or something, so there was loud music until late at night.
The coffee and snack machine didn't accept cards.

I really liked the staff — they were always very attentive and helpful. The bed linens were clean and well maintained, and the overall environment was organized and pleasant. I also liked having power outlets next to the bed and two bathrooms in the room, which made the stay much more convenient.
Overall, I didn’t have any major issues, but I believe a bit more attention to comfort and small details could make the experience even better.

Good location and nice shared area.

Hotel was lovely good value and good location
I didn't like that I paid late check out a cleaner male walked in on my friend in bed in her underwear.
Reception guy was rude to me about this. Was told by female manager that's was nice I could ask for a full refund through booking.com.
Booking.com sent a request for this and hotel is ignoring it . My friend felt violated this is not acceptable

Walking distance to everything! So much to see and do.
Stains on walls and the key cards occasionally didn't work. Had to be careful not to bump into corners of the metallic bedframes and other metallic furniture.

The location is good. The rooms are big and spacious and each have showers and toilets, not out in the hallway. Elevator. The staff seemed really nice.
We waited a full hour to check in, and we didn’t even arrive at check in time. Prior to arrival we had gotten a lot of very weird messages through booking.com from the hostel, but as they were not optimised for the booking.com message system, we couldn’t use them. A lot of the guests who were waiting with us had the same problem. There was supposed to have been a link to fill in the pre-check in form, which is really lengthy, and made the build up of waiting guests. The mattress is plastic covered, which you will hear and feel all night. There are no bed lights, only the ceiling light. So either everyone has light or no one, or you’ll have to use your phone as a mag light e.g. if you wish to read in bed. There is a bar at the ground level open to everyone, making the place quite dirty besides inside the rooms. The shared kitchen was so sticky I just left and only ate out, I would never eat anything made in there. Like most places in Edinburg, the city doesn’t allow for window renovations, so the rooms are quite drafty and cold. I slept with an extra blanket I brought from home, but I don’t believe you should have to travel with extra blankets. However, I didn’t ask in the reception, so I don’t know if I could have gotten an extra. You put our own bedding on and off and need to remember to bring it to the reception as you leave.

Great location. Easy check in and out.
Strange smell from the bathroom. Lack of soundproofing. Bathroom lights didn't switch off.
Thank you for your information!
