Bir personel yüzünden kabus
Liked: Although all other aspects of the hostel were great, thanks to the staff on duty the night of June 23–24, my vacation turned into a nightmare. The hostel’s location and cleanliness were excellent, and the view overlooking Edinburgh Castle was truly striking. Transportation options and the condition of the rooms were also very good.
Disliked: English:The hostel was clean and well-located, but what happened to me on the morning of June 24 turned my stay into a complete nightmare.My standard-size suitcase, which wouldn’t fit in the room’s locker, had been stored in a separate room by the staff. The evening before, I confirmed with them that I could retrieve it the next morning for my train.Despite reminding the receptionist repeatedly that I needed to catch the 5:48 AM train, they refused to hand me my luggage. Although they could have opened the door with a simple code, they deliberately chose not to. In a condescending and racist tone—without even looking at me—they said, “How can I know you won’t steal your bag?” and made it clear that missing my train was not their problem. Because of this disrespectful attitude:I missed my train and incurred an extra £70.40 in ticket costs,I was also unable to go on the trip I had planned in York.It was the most racist behavior I have ever encountered. I strongly recommend choosing accommodations where staff show empathy and take responsibility—avoid any place with personnel who blame guests, shirk their duties, and display racist attitudes.

Good
Liked: Location was great, walking distance to everything. Staff were friendly. Cool bar area. They offer cool activities.
Disliked: The private rooms are not sound proof at all so other guests arriving home at early hours in the morning slamming doors (they aren’t soft close) and yelling down corridor kept us up every night. Same with outside noise of traffic. Ear plugs definitely needed. Toilets were mostly clean. Shower drain was clogged so had my feet covered by water.
