A decent hostel, I think for the price it was just as you would expect. Service in the reception/bar was great, I enjoyed my stay and I think the location was pretty good too. The beds are a bit flimsy, but overall I have no complaints. I would definitely recommend.

Set in a beautiful area of Haymarket, clearly signed, outdoor benches upon arrival for relaxing, garden outside behind hostel for quiet moments, large rooms with lockers and en-suite facilities. In-house bar serving multiple refreshments, kitchen facilities in basement for self catering, lounge area with large bay windows to watch the world passing..

Hostel is great, one manager Sam is a very good manager, helpful, professional and friendly, the other manager is not good, not professional and should not be a manager or staff.

Don't believe the reviews or property amenities, no restaurant, diffinately no breakfast. I was on the 4th floor with plenty of stairs. Mainly the absence of breakfast as is listed is a no go

Great hostel, very beautiful, one point of improvement; the bins in the ladies bathroom were full for three days in a row. Other than that it was all very clean and nice.

The hostel is far too expensive for what it is. It is a perfectly decent simple hostel but this should be reflected in the price. I stayed in a much nicer hostel the week before for less than half the price.
