Tempatnya strategis dan harganya terjangkau

I reserved an 18person room for my stay during the final week of the edinburgh fringe. It was fantastic! The room was usually quiet because the people in it were generally quiet and respectful throughout the day. The amenities were spotless. The setting was fantastic! Its fantastic that there is a pool table in the common area. There are complimentary lollipops at reception. There is a separate lamp light, two plug sockets, and two usb charging ports next to each bed. The mattress was really cozy.

The location is excellent! From here, you can stroll to any location, including the train station, edinburgh castle, and a ton of restaurants! The kitchen is also enormous, making it simpler for anyone to prepare their own meals. Our room door was quite noisy! Perhaps a little oil is needed?.

Lokasi hotel sangat strategis dan pelayanan stafnya sangat baik. Kamar mandi hanya memiliki dua toilet (satu diblokir dan dua wastafel (satu ditutup) dan hanya ada satu yang tersisa untuk beberapa tamu di dalam kamar. Pintu kamar mengeluarkan banyak suara saat pintu dibuka dan ditutup (berderit).

This hostel was fantastic! It had a lot of character and felt very unique. The staff was amazing and very helpful. Breakfast was cheap to buy. They held events frequently to engage people in meeting one another. Basically in the city center and within walking distance of almost everything. The rooms were clean and the security was adequate. The only improvement i would suggest is a slight update on the showers, but other than that, it was fantastic.

Overall, i had a pleasant experience staying at this hostel. Its a really good hostel. To be honest, this is the ideal hostel for solo travelers. I stayed here for two days during my trip to edinburg. Good service from the hostel staff. They are very helpful. The kitchen is open to all customers who want to cook themselves, and breakfast is available every morning at a cheaper rate. Storage spaces are available and secure to lock our valuables with the key.

Everything was impressive. The room is clean and neat. Amenities are super complete, the kitchen are accessible and have all the equipment i need (to cook basic dish). Cozy lounge. The staff, receptionist are incredibly friendly and helpful. The place located close to almost all the landmarks. Sharing bathroom for both male & female. Though a hostel, but i feel totally safe there. Well-trained and competent receptionist.

I would strongly recommend it again as a typical hostel experience. Im pleased with my experience so far! Its a typical cheap hostel, so dont anticipate anything flashy, but the building is fantastic, the staff is friendly, and the location is ideal. I appreciated how the beds were made, and that each bunk bed side had power outlets. I appreciated that our room was only double bunks rather than triple like some other hostels. I might have appreciated a privacy curtain on our bunks, but the fact that we got to know the other ladies staying in our room was also a plus! You receive a key for your room and a key for a locker, although my locker wasnt big enough for my large suitcase. Felt very safe here, with a lovely and welcoming community feel among the other travelers.

The hostel is very cute and located in the center of edinburgh. Its a great place to go on excursions around the city and its surroundings. The staff were very kind and helpful, the rooms, beds and facilities were in good condition. Nice comfortable living room or kitchen to hang out, cook your meal, or enjoy cheap breakfast and other meals. They also offer cute evening activities and try to make your stay great.

I would stay there again! Fantastic hostel! The same owners as castle rock. Clean, spacious kitchen, and activities most nights. Good location on the royal mile. I stayed in a female dorm with 10 beds in October. The beds are comfortable, and there are plenty of bathrooms and showers. The staff is friendly and helpful. Not as chatty as the people at castle rock or royal mile backpackers, but no complaints.

Overall, this hostel is ideal. Excellent experience. Undoubtedly the best hostel ive stayed in throughout the uk (i stayed in four different places during my travels). The main thing i appreciated was how peaceful my room was. I had no issues with other visitors. In this setting, everyone was courteous. The lounge area is fantastic. Lots of fun. The staff is incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Good times all around. Strongly advised. The fact that a washing machine was not provided for free was one thing i didnt like. To have your laundry done before 11 a. M., you must pay ps 5 for them to do it. The cost doesnt bother me, it is comparable to doing laundry on my own. I just wanted to be able to do it on my own schedule.

Asrama melebihi harapan kami. Lokasi pusat yang sangat nyaman, ruang komunal berukuran bagus dan loker individu untuk setiap orang di kamar tidur. Setidaknya di kamar kami, setiap tempat tidur memiliki soket listrik dan lampu sendiri. Ini bukan modern atau baru, tapi ini memberikan karakter dan semuanya bekerja dengan baik dan bersih. Dapur dilengkapi dengan semua yang Anda butuhkan. Satu-satunya negatif adalah Anda akan mendengar banyak kebisingan jalan dari luar jika Anda membiarkan jendela terbuka, tetapi itulah yang diharapkan untuk lokasinya. Untuk harga, itu sangat murah dan saya akan merekomendasikannya.

I stayed in a mixed dorm with 4 beds! The rooms were adequate and offered good value for the money. The receptionists were absolutely amazing, and i would rate my interactions with them a perfect 10 out of 10. I will definitely be returning!.

Staf sangat ramah, melakukan aktivitas setiap malam untuk mengenal mereka. Terletak di pusat kota, dengan monumen, pub, pasar, dan bus di dekatnya. Semuanya sempurna.

I am very happy i stayed here, a great hostel with friendly staff in a great location. The high street hostel was fantastic. The journey there was simple, checkin was super smooth, and the key required a ps 10 deposit, but you received it back when you checked out. The locker was large and had a builtin lock, the bed cover and mattress were comfortable, and the room was at a decent temperature. The showers and bathrooms were clean, and the lounge was a great place to hang out. I also had the opportunity to try their bar crawl, which was a lot of fun. Breakfast in the morning is 3ps and totally worth it.

I would definitely recommend it and hope to return to stay longer! This is the best hostel ive ever been to! The staff and volunteers are very kind and gentle, the structure is clean, comfortable and has all the amenities you need. The kitchen is very large and well organized, the rooms are very comfortable and each bed has its own light, usb port for power supply and locker, and the toilets were clean with large and hot showers. And i loved the breakfast (only 3 ps!.

Saya pikir satu-satunya hal yang dapat saya amati adalah kamar mandinya sangat kecil dan sedikit untuk jumlah orang per kamar. Tempatnya sangat bersih! Relawan yang sangat ramah. Saya merekomendasikannya!

5.0/521 Nov 2024

Asrama sangat bagus dengan staf yang sangat ramah. Kegiatan yang diselenggarakan pada malam hari sangat keren dan area umum juga sangat menyenangkan dan terorganisir dengan baik. Saya menginap di kamar wanita dengan 4 tempat tidur dan kamarnya berbau aneh. Sepertinya tertutup dan itu membuat saya alergi. Jadi bagi yang menderita rhinitis, sebaiknya minum obat anti alergi. Ada pembangunan di depan asrama, sehingga pada pagi hari banyak kebisingan pembangunan dan setiap truk sampah lewat, jadi kami semua terbangun. Kamar mandi berada di luar kamar dan digunakan bersama dengan tamu lain, termasuk laki-laki. Kamar mandinya kecil, tidak ada ruang untuk berganti pakaian atau mandi dengan benar. Secara keseluruhan pengalaman yang sangat bagus, hanya perlu meningkatkan ventilasi di kamar dan kamar mandi.

Saya tidak merekomendasikan tempat ini. Kurangnya pembersihan dan pemeliharaan, fasilitas tua, dinding tanpa isolasi akustik. Tempat tidurnya terbuat dari papan dan kasur serta bantalnya sangat tipis. Kunci tidak berfungsi dan orang mengetuk pintu atau membiarkan pintu terbuka, mereka meletakkan tempat sampah agar tidak perlu berebut (gambar terlampir) sehingga keamanan kamar Anda hilang. Bau pipa tidak sedap menyebar ke seluruh asrama. Mati tanpa tempat sampah sanitasi yang benar. Kamar mandi berjamur. Dapur berantakan, tidak ada tempat untuk menaruh barang, semuanya bertumpuk, ada kotak-kotak tapi penuh, sama seperti kulkas. (Gambar terlampir), di ruang makan ada kursi dan meja yang hilang, ruang tidak cukup. bencana dengan huruf kapital, saya tidak merekomendasikannya.
