Hostellit – Edinburgh and Lothian

”We arrived a day later than originally planned due to an airline strike. We had informed the hostel a couple of days in advance by both phone and email, but when we got there, our reservation wasn’t in the system, even though it had already been paid for. Because of that, we had to wait at the reception for about an hour while the staff sorted things out with Hotels.com. In the end, we did get a room, which was overall in decent condition and clean. Big thumbs up for the bathroom and shower,...

”Well positioned, clean, friendly staff. We stayed for one night in a private room, well worth the price.”

”Good”

”Comfortable walk ro Princess Street, Castle , shops, pubs etc There is a bus stop right outside the door if walking is not an option The one suggestion I would make is for guests to bring eye madks, as the curtains are very thin and the outside street lights shine right into the bedrooms facing the front street Kitchen is very well equipped, showers have good water pressure, lots of hot water, ”

”Edullinen ja toimiva majoituspaikka. Asiakaspalvelu erinomaista ja henkilökunnalta sai aina apua tarvittaessa.”

”Very good location. Easy to reach all major sights on foot from here. Staff helpful and very friendly. Room is hot but fan helped a lot. Good option for budget travellers who need place to stay without any services but don’t wanna stay in traditional hostels. ”

”Staff was friendly and overall experience very nice. It was me with two teenagers and private room. Very basic, just as described. The shower was the only minus, because as it was attached to the roof, it was very difficult to wash downstairs. Good place to stay when viditing around Scotland. Would go again! Hotels.com says you can pay arriving but that is not the case. I got a message from hostel that i need to pay forward.”

”Advertised as a hotel, but it is most definitely a hostel. I booked a double bedroom and in the room theres no lamps, only two wall sockets, and no bathroom in the room. I feel as though the photos are misleading in this sense as you share all bathrooms and toilets with the rest of the hostel. Mind you the entire floor (out of 3 floors) will share one toilet, or at least this was the case of the second floor. And even worse, there's no lock on the toilet, and the doors don't even touch when...

”Overall a very good value place to stay, and as long as you know the place’s limits in advance you can plan round them. A bit on the basic side (no desk in the room, no towels, no dedicated wifi (something cloudy that didn’t work on 4th floor, so I tethered iPad to phone). toilet and shower a bit “military grade” but the price point was exceptional. Most of the staff were really friendly. Oh yeah there was a bit of a smell in the 4th floor corridor, but this was only in the corridor not in...

”Staff were friendly and helpful. I loved the vintage feel it had. It overlooked a beautiful park where I spent a lot of time at. There a lot of stairs and no lift though. But I still had a nice stay.”
