Saya menginap selama seminggu di hostel ini. Lokasinya sangat bagus dan stafnya sangat menyenangkan. Sayangnya, saya mungkin jatuh di waktu yang salah karena digigit kutu busuk. Setelah diurus tiga hari kemudian, sebuah perusahaan datang untuk mendisinfeksi tempat tersebut. Saya harus segera menemui dokter segera setelah saya kembali karena jumlah gigitan yang terlalu banyak untuk ditanggung. Kesalahan kecil juga terjadi dalam pemesanan tetapi sudah diperbaiki tepat di telepon. Kamar mandi dan toiletnya bersih. Untuk tempat tidur, kasurnya agak kaku dan tergantung pada lantai yang kita tempati di kamar, belum tentu bisa duduk di tempat tidur. Tirai kecil selalu memberikan privasi yang menyenangkan saat berbagi asrama dengan wisatawan lain.

The rooms are definitely too small for 6 people, there is no space to move around, you cant breathe through the night, the rooms are not even fully painted, and there is only space to fit a bag in the room locker which makes it a stressful experience. The guys at reception are very nice and do everything in their power to accommodate requests, such as glutenfree bread at breakfast, clean and comfortable common showers, and a nice kitchen.

If you can pretty much fall asleep anywhere and arent too fussed about comfort, this is the spot for you. When you first walk in to the reception area, there is a strong smell, but you get used to it. It would be great to air the place a little, as the room can get very stuffy. The bed was itchy (2 out of 5 for cleanliness), and the showers turned extremely hot to extremely cold before i found one that worked. The staff were arguing for a while both times i decided to relax in the seating area, which became a bit annoying. Cheap for edinburgh, in a great location, the staff were accommodating, and the kitchen facilities are pretty good.

Would most certainly return. Thank you very much! Fantastic hostel in a fantastic location, with a very welcoming and kind staff. Comfortable beds, warm rooms on cold nights, hot showers, nice common areas, and a spacious kitchen with all the tools you could possibly need. Room for your luggage and quick usb phone charging. I met wonderful individuals from all over the world.

Menghabiskan 2 malam di sini. Tempat yang ideal untuk mogok dan berorganisasi. Anda tidak akan menemukan lokasi yang lebih baik dengan kedekatan yang lebih nyaman dengan transportasi, restoran, dan tempat pemberhentian wisata biasa.

Tempat ini terletak di pusat Edinburgh, di sebuah bangunan tua, dan Anda harus menaiki beberapa tangga yang indah untuk mencapainya. Asramanya hangat, tempat tidurnya juga, bantalnya bagus, handuknya bersih. Tempat tidur susun sangat populer, hanya beberapa yang tidak memiliki tirai, pasang tirai di setiap apartemen, menciptakan keintiman, bahkan saat Anda bersama lebih banyak orang asing. Colokan di kepala tempat tidur sangat ideal. Perhatian stafnya luar biasa dan mereka dengan senang hati membantu Anda. Kamar mandinya agak terpisah dari kamar, tapi bersih, jadi cukup. Dapurnya ideal dengan pemandangan yang indah. Tapi kelemahan terbesar saya dan karenanya hanya 3 bintang adalah sarapannya. Saya lebih suka mereka menagih saya 20 euro per malam daripada 15 euro dan ada kopi yang layak di dapur, meskipun itu dari mesin Amerika, daripada kopi instan, dan tidak ada kafein! Sama dengan teh, normal ya dan desteinado? Atau infus? Bagaimana jika seseorang hanya minum colakao atau minuman penggantinya? Gula putih oke dan gula merah? Minimal! Sereal dan roti Bimbo, lebih tepatnya roti yang dibuat di oven yang luar biasa daripada roti Bimbo! Tanpa yogurt, buah, apa pun buatan sendiri (dengan oven itu, biskuit mentega terbuat dari plastik, tapi kita berada di negara mentega! Hidangan mentega besar dari Ikea dan mentega pedesaan! Tentu saja dua, satu dengan garam dan satu tanpa garam.

4.8/51 May 2024

Lokasinya sangat strategis dan resepsionisnya sangat ramah, membantu, dan dekat. Meskipun agak kecil, dapurnya dilengkapi dengan baik, kamar mandinya bersih dan kamar memiliki loker besar yang sudah termasuk dalam harga dan handuk. Ini termasuk sarapan dasar tetapi harganya di kota, juga teh atau kopi kapan pun Anda mau. Satu-satunya hal yang buruk adalah aksesnya: tangganya curam, panjang dan sempit.

Overall, a fantastic stay that has improved our outlook on hostels. It was my second time staying in a hostel, and my partners first. He was a little apprehensive because he didnt like sharing rooms with others. However, we only needed a cheap night somewhere to stay before heading to Dundee. We arrived late after our flight was delayed, but this wasnt an issue. We were welcomed, shown around, and told about breakfast, showers, toilets, etc. We were led to our room, where everything was explained to us. Surprisingly, the beds were extremely comfortable. It was a bonus that we had our own lights and plugs. Each bed had blackout curtains, which made you feel as if you werent in a room with others and werent concerned about people looking at you. Breakfast was basic continental, but it was a nice touch with tea, coffee, etc. Towels are provided, and the showers and facilities were clean. Check in and out was easy and quick, so there was no worry about missing the bus or other amenities.

Excellent setting. Ps 5 for laundry service. Very friendly staff. Good breakfast prepared as early as 6 a. M., sometimes earlier. But, on my last night there, i only got 3 hours of sleep because the room was so hot (at least 32 degrees on the top bunk) and unventilated.

4.8/519 Aug 2023

Ini adalah hostel pemuda. Nilai uang yang sangat baik. Staf ramah dan membantu. Di pusat kota. Ruang tamu umum yang sangat menyenangkan. Dapurnya sangat bersih. Kamar asrama bersih dan cukup luas. Fasilitas sanitasi sangat bersih dan fungsional.

Id recommend this to anyone traveling alone to Edinburgh, and Id love to stay there again. Even in my mixed dorm room as a woman, I felt really safe here. It was extremely clean and quiet, and Yan was such a wonderful and helpful host. I was so happy I found this hostel because it was conveniently located in the heart of the city and made it simple to reach all the tourist attractions. The showers were wonderful, with hot water and, even more importantly, completely clean. The curtain across the bunk bed pleased me and gave me good privacy in a mixed dorm room. The kitchen is excellent, the main entrance and chillout area are nice, and I ended up playing card games with some of the other guests staying in the same room as me.

Overall, a fantastic stay! A truly wonderful discovery in edinburgh! The price was significantly cheaper than other hostels, which is even better. The reception area has lovely benches with cushions and board games to play, creating a great setting for either relaxing or working! The rooms are clean, carpeted, and airy. Each of us had a locker with a lock and coat hanger available. Beds were comfortable, and blankets were warm, but there was not much head space - some were impossible to sit up in. A power outlet and light are next to each bed, and towels and earplugs are free. The kitchen is fantastic, with pots, pans, knives, chopping boards, and pretty much anything else you would need to prepare a decent meal at home. Hobs, two ovens, a microwave, fridge, and freezer were provided, as well as a kettle. Breakfast was quite good - the food will be laid out and is selfservice from 6 a. M. To 10 a. M. There was cereal, bread, spreads, fruits, milk, tea, and coffee were provided. The bathrooms are a little cramped and dark, but clean. Showers are spacious, have good water heaters, and shared soap and shampoo are provided! There is a 24 hour reception that is great for early checkouts. The staff is generally friendly and will help you with any problems and questions. They will also help you store your bags if you arrive early before check in (3 pm.

Staf di resepsionis dan para tamunya sangat ramah dan nyaman. Terdapat loker pribadi berukuran besar, sehingga Anda tidak perlu khawatir tentang pencurian. Handuk dapat dipinjam secara gratis. Tidak ada ruang ganti, jadi harus ganti baju di kamar mandi, tapi air panasnya keluar dengan baik, jadi tidak ada yang perlu dikeluhkan.

Haggis hostels offers exceptional value in a prime location. Its conveniently conveniently located via the airlink 100 bus route, which departs from the airport or Waverley station via train. The staff are friendly, the place is clean, and the suitemates are friendly. However, if you choose the cheapest room, be prepared for tight spaces and a large number of guests ranging from 8 to 10. Private rooms are a great option for groups of four, especially for groups of four.

4.6/531 Oct 2024

Asramanya masuk akal, kecil dan relatif terorganisir dan dipelihara dengan baik. Perlu dicatat bahwa lokasinya bagus, praktis di pintu stasiun kereta api dan dekat dengan toko dan St Andrews Square. Wi-Fi masuk akal, kamarnya relatif bagus, kotak shower menurut saya sangat bagus karena memiliki banyak ruang dan tidak perlu mengatur hal-hal seperti di tempat lain yang ruangnya kecil. Ada masalah yang mengganggu saya dan saya ingin menarik perhatian mereka yang mobilitasnya terbatas karena terletak di dalam gedung dan harus menaiki banyak anak tangga, banyak anak tangga dan tidak ada yang membantu dan tidak ada lift.

4.6/518 Sep 2024

Lokasi sempurna, karena Anda dapat berjalan kaki ke semua tempat yang menarik. Staf sangat ramah dan memberi tahu Anda tempat untuk dikunjungi. Tempatnya modern dan terlihat baru. Kamar mandinya bagus dan showernya bagus. Kamar tidur memiliki lemari di mana Anda dapat menyimpan barang bawaan dan sangat cocok untuk koper kabin, ransel, dan beberapa barang lainnya. Saya tidur di tempat tidur teratas dan sangat nyaman. Ini memiliki dapur yang nyaman di mana Anda dapat membeli dan memasak apa pun karena peralatannya lengkap. Jika Anda mencari sesuatu yang terjangkau, lokasi sempurna dan Anda tidak keberatan berbagi kamar, saya merekomendasikan hostel ini.

4.6/510 Aug 2024

The place is spotless, clean, safe, and very comfortable. The location is also great. The only thing i would say is that there is no elevator so it is not accessible to everyone as it is on the third floor and lots of stairs to get there. Apart from that, i highly recommend it!.

4.6/58 Aug 2024

Lokasinya strategis dan tempat tidurnya sangat nyaman. Namun kamar mandinya tidak terlalu bersih karena banyak rambut di sekitar saluran air dan lantai kamar mandi. Bawalah sepasang sandal tambahan untuk mandi. Dapur dan ruang bersama bersih dan dapat digunakan.

4.6/53 Aug 2024

I had a great time staying at haystack and would definitely recommend it. Excellent position close to new towns bars and restaurants and right next to waverley station. The interiors are immaculate and tastefully designed, with lockers for each bed and a great deal of privacy in the beds. Above all, the staff is incredibly helpful and kind!.
