Good hostel, stayed in a twin private room and had no problems. Bed was reasonably comfy and good bathroom facilities. Wifi was OK. Staff were very helpful
Really close to train station with easy access to downtown and out of city excursions to Edinburgh. Quiet neighbourhood and hostel atmosphere. Hostel manager very friendly- went out of his way to find me and wish me well on the rest of my travels.
