We live on the third floor and have two rooms. There is no toilet in the room. The toilet is shared and the bathroom is independent! The B&B is very clean and the price is OK for Edinburgh!

The room is ok, but the soundproofing is poor. All rooms do not have private bathrooms and elevators, so you need to drag your heavy luggage upstairs. The location is very convenient, close to the train station and attractions. I was given a coupon for a small coffee shop next to the hotel, with a 15% discount. That coffee shop is also good, you can try it!

The location is great! We live in a separate building, which is very quiet compared to the bustling scene of the hostel. The kitchen and bathroom are very clean, like newly renovated. Only 2 rooms use kitchen and bathroom. More like a B&B apartment. The main reason for choosing a youth hostel is that it has a kitchen so you can cook your own meals.

It's very close to the attractions and the overall experience is good. However, the charges for guest storage are not very reasonable.

Service: The people at the front desk are very nice, but the check-in time is 14:00 pm and the check-out time is 10:00 am, which is not convenient. Fortunately, you can store your bag for free before check-in, and you can also store it for free until 11:00 after check-out, but you will have to pay 3 pounds if you exceed the time (if you remember correctly) Facilities: It’s a bit like a family hotel, that is, the first floor (about three rooms) shares a toilet and shower room, which is fine if the requirements are not high Transportation: This is also the reason why I choose to live here. The transportation is very convenient. Get off the train and climb a long ladder to get there. The shopping festival is just outside the window. All kinds of attractions are very close. If you travel, I recommend staying here. It is very cost-effective up
