GoodStayed with friends
The computer system had crashed and we were unable to check in for over 2 hours.
The in- house rules meant we could not leave luggage in secure place and we had no access to the room because of the above.
The lack of secure luggage store is a weakness which needs addressing ( as well as a hard copy version of the room allocations which would allow reception to check guests in).....
Bad experience for our last night in Edinburgh - a pity.

Terrible experience. Avoid if you don’t want your things to be stolen. The whole staff need to be changed over. Dangerous if you are vulnerable.

Do not be fooled, this is, AT BEST, a lower tier hostel accommodation. It is extremely affordable, but you will end up paying for that in travel costs to and from the city, airport, port, etc. there is no tram service nearby. Additionally, the room was much smaller than it appeared in the photos, and the bed was not large enough for 2 adults to sleep comfortably. The staff was extremely kind and were the bright spot of experience. If you are looking for bare minimum and the cheapest possible accommodation than this will suit you fine. But if you have the budget and/or are interested in exploring the city by foot and want to be near any of the sights, I would look for alternatives.
