Traveller reviews

“Superb”
06 Jan 2025
Super friendly staff and fellow travellers. Felt really comfortable, like a second home. Nice touch to have a reading, chatting area and kitchen outside of the rooms.

“Perfect for a shorter stay and exploring the city by foot!”
05 Jan 2025
A small but clean and nicely decorated Hostel. The location is perfect for exploring: you’re on the other side of the street right by the Balmoral and the train station. Staff and fellow travellers were friendly. Beds were good, you get an extra blanket. Take a lock for the locker with you.

“Great location, quiet, good if you simply look for a clean place to spend the night.”

excellent location, very quiet, comfy bed, female-only, full-length curtain on the bed for privacy

“Lovey hostel in centre of Edinburgh”
12 Dec 2024

“amazing! definitely coming back.”
25 Nov 2024
it is the first time I stayed in hostel, so I was very glad that it was clean, quite, and well-located ;)

“Women's rooms, safely, & excellent location”
19 Nov 2024
Excellent location, in the center and within walking distance to tourist routes and social life. It’s really cool that the hostel has an emphasis on women, in my room there were 6 beds, and it was locked. There was also a sense of security.

“Recommended for solo travelers.”

The property is located in the heart of Edinburgh, with easy access to all parts of the city. It is within a walking distance from the Old and the New Town, less than an hour from Dean Village and half an hour from Leith. The area is very safe and the Hostel is right next to Andrew’s square where the Tram to the airport stops. The property is very clean and has all the necessary amenities, together with a cosy mini lounge where the guests are welcome to stay. The beds in the 12 female dorm have curtains for privacy, sockets and lights next to each bed. The staff is very friendly and always there to help.

“Good stay.”
13 Nov 2024
The property has a fantastic location. It is very closeby to the Edinburgh Waverly train station and other spots.
