that was wonderfull
Liked: In general, it was nice that the environment where young people stayed was nice and that it was right in the middle of the touristic area and that many facilities were accessible. The kitchen was fully equipped but a bit small. The bathroom and toilets were very nice.
Disliked: There is a pub under the hostel and the music coming from there was a bit disturbing, but since it was in a touristic area and on the street, it was tolerable for me.

Superb
Liked: The location is great: walking distance from Royal Mile, but also not right in the midst of the super-touristy part of the strip. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and there are great tips of access to different spots throughout the hostel. The bedding was also very comfy for a hostel! Also, extremely LGBTQ+ inclusive!
Disliked: This is not on Royal Mile, just that it is a hostel, so you may get some guests who are a bit nosier/inconsiderate in making a lot of noise in the earlier AM, but the staff does a great job of putting up reminders to be quiet!

LOVED my stay here!
Liked: close to everything we needed, staff were very accommodating - even offering a laundry service (wash, dry, fold) for £5! rooms were cleaned frequently and felt extremely safe
Disliked: kitchen space was a little bit squashy when busy
