Convenient and cheap

Liked: The proximity and cleanliness of the space. I truly appreciate the work staff does.
Disliked: In a hostel, sometimes you get paired up with inconsiderate roommates who make noise in the middle of the night. Otherwise, everything was spotless! Honesty!

Everything was really good and...

Liked: A comfortable bed with electric power and light . The staff were very helpful and friendly particularly Thomas in the kitchen who kept everything running smoothly in setting up a really good breakfast and Amy on the front desk who couldn’t have been more helpful . The kitchen and lounge area provided opportunities to mix with other travellers. The hostel had a good atmosphere. Five stars around. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Disliked: Nothing

Good

Liked: Really cheap. Can't expect more.
Disliked: quite far from the station. Need to go to stair for the room. The shower and washroom is mixed with males. Even though it's a female only dormitory. Quite unexpected. Very noise at night. Not well soundproof.

Comfortable stay in Edinburgh

Liked: Friendly staff, clean accommodations, comfortable bedding, sturdy beds, convenient location.
Disliked: Lockers too small for most luggage, a little stuffy, hard to drown out the city traffic even with headphones.
