The hostel is in a great location, very central for old tour with all the tours. The rooms were clean, with a well maintained shared kitchen facility.
A note to those booking a twin room, this is often a bunk bed. Whilst I was aware this may be the case and was ok with it, some people would not be happy.
I had a lovely stay at this Hostel. It's in the perfect location. And Mercedes at the front desk was very helpful and accommodating. They honored my request to get a room on the top floor and I had a quiet night's sleep. The shared bathroom was very clean. The lounge are was nice to relax and eat some food and people watch out the window. They also held my luggage while I went exploring. I will be back.

Private bed shared loo & kitchen
I was in their flat on the royal mile, i had a private bedroom with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities, given its slap bang city centre you could do much worse.
Excellent location it is in the heart of Edinburgh city centre. The room is a bit small but the share toliet is large and clean. A good experience to stay here.
Everyone was friendly and my room was clean. Located in the middle of everything. I would stay here again. Just a note for people with trouble walking you may have a lot of stairs.
