The staff were very helpful and did things in a timely manner. Very quick to respond, and very nice. I had to pay a deposit when I checked in, but I got the deposit back very quickly after checking out. The room had a nice view. It was very comfortable, and I would definitely reserve a room in this same hotel if I happen to visit Edinburgh again.

The place is simply amazing, great location if you are a tourist in Edinburgh, and a great place to visit with your friends. Great beer, amazing "small apartment" rooms, extremely nice crew (that I miss already), and a location on a fast track to both new and old city areas. Defiantly coming back over there.

The accomodation was perfect, spacey, clean, comfortable, quiet and everything all you need was provided. The area also was so beautiful with lost of cafes, great restaurants and only 10 min. Walking from train station. After 3 busy days in Edinburgh hostel stay and visit to Highlands, it was great decision to spend my last night here for a good sleep, get prepared for my train trip to London. Thanks to everyone at the property for their warm welcome and great conversation.

We truly enjoyed our stay! The room was beautiful, with a wonderful view from the window and a comfortable, spacious bed — I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was well thought out: there were shampoos, earplugs, coffee, and tea. We loved the shared kitchen, stocked with cereals, milk, spreads, and toast bread, so you can help yourself and prepare breakfast or enjoy a cup of coffee. There were also board games and cozy background music, which made the atmosphere even nicer. The hosts were exceptionally friendly — they let us check in early, kept our luggage on the last day, took great care of us, chatted with us, and were ready to help with anything we needed. Highly recommended!
