Really nice staff and very decent price in the midst of the edinburgh fringe festival. Convenientyl located, only a 30 minute walk from the pleasance dome area. My only issue was that the bedroom was unbearably hot (outside temp only reached highs of 24⁰ so I dread to think what it would be like if it were even hotter outside). Otherwise very clean and typical of hostel with (3-tiered) bunk beds. Despite the heat I did sleep well. They have decent facilities including a bar which seemed alright although I didn't personally make use of it. Free wifi too. Would recommend if you're travelling on a lower budget :)

Very very uncouth stuff
I had a very terrible experience in this hostel. Check out on hotelscom at the time I booked was 11am but at about 10:30am I came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my waist to meet 4 cleaners in my room, all my belongings had been moved out. I asked one of the cleaners about my items/what was happening and to my surprise they said checkout was 10am so they have moved all my items to the reception. I went downstairs to ask the receptionist about the situation and he said checkout was 10am so I should move out of the premises. NO APOLOGIES. It was so uncivilized, inhumane and an insensitive act to take against your guest who was at least in the shower.

Hostel is great, one manager Sam is a very good manager, helpful, professional and friendly, the other manager is not good, not professional and should not be a manager or staff.
