Edinburgh Central Accommodation

Amazing staff, great location, value...

Liked: The location is spot on, easy walking distance to everything. It is great value for money, clean, and comfortable. All the staff on reception are amazing, so friendly and helpfull and suggested places to eat, and where to visit. Breakfast is an additional cost, there are two options a Scottish fry up or more basic cereal and toast at a reasonable cost. The lobby area is welcoming with plenty of comfy seating, free wifi, a bar, a restaurant. lounge area with sofas and tables, and a small library and tourist . luggage storage and there is a kitchen area in hte basement if you want to prepare your own food. There is a also a guest laundry which was out of order when we visited. The hostel is centrally located, and is easy to go out sightseeing. Close by are supermarket express shops, bars, restaurants, take aways, Greggs is opposite and there is Wetherspoons 5 minutes away. All in all, great value for money. Highly recommended.
Disliked: If there is one thing, the separate shower room, whilst large had no shower curtain and water went everywhere. You had to hang clothes and towels up outside when showering, otherwise they got wet.
