A great historical property which is not too far from the main roads. A converted church, so voices tend to carry. Great for solo travellers because you can get a room for one person. Bathrooms have all amenities, but could use a larger floor mat outside of shower, floors were a little slippery. Inside main quarters, beautiful stained glass and ceiling features. Front desk was very helpful.

Didn’t spend too much time at the hostel. We needed a place to stay as our flight had been cancelled, it was a lovely experience and would more then likely stay there in the future.

CASI perfecto
Todo casi perfecto. A excepción de la persona que nos atendió el domingo, ya que este chico fue muy antipático con nosotros, no hacía por entendernos y además nos hizo esperar en dos ocasiones, mientras estaba haciendo una videollamada (no estaba ocupado haciendo cosas del hostel). Por lo demás, por ubicación precio y calidad es prácticamente perfecto! Aunque nos quedará el mal sabor de boca por la actitud del chico del domingo, nos vamos muy contentos por nuestra elección

Das Hostel liegt bei Dean Village. Man ist relativ schnell am Castle zu Fuß. Es ist ein cooles Gebäude, das Personal ist nett, die Private Rooms sind sauber. Es ist natürlich ein klassisches Hostel. Die Zimmer sind klein, das Bad bei den Private Rooms ist für 6 Zimmer gedacht. Auch da, alles sauber. Man muss wissen was man sucht und was man eben bucht. Das Bett ist leider eine mittlere Katastrophe. Ansonsten ist es für ein Hostel mitten in Edinburgh völlig ok.
