Great location, plenty of dining choices and close to tours and walking distance to the Edinburgh Castle. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Great activities to meet others. The room was too small for 2 people, outside noise all night (not within the accommodation building). There is no quiet space to go to and the common area is a restaurant. Worst hot chocolate I have ever had and I have them a lot.

The staff is fantastic. The bunk beds are comfy & clean. They have daily activities in the common room (beer & whiskey tastings). The hostel is in the middle of many important historical sites. Right on the Royal Mile & close to Edinburgh Castle.
