Edinburgh stay

It was great!! My only issue was the location. I know it was really close to the Train station and was easy once I knew where it was but I was told it was directly opposite and it wasnt!! I spent about 10 mins looking for it in the dark and was getting really worked up :( I had to ask for directions and only then found it was a minute down the road. Why wouldnt I be told this when asking?? Being told its directly opposite when you have to walk down the hill slightly when coming out the station is quite misleading for people like me who have no idea where it is!!

This hostel is basic but clean and very central. There are not many showers and toilets for the number of guests but if you get up early or shower in the evening you can avoid queuing.

It's in the city center so most of the sightseeing places are in walking distance. Close to the Waverley train station. My room has two floor which gave good separation with 10 people in the room. Room was warm. My building did not have any break room, so I had to go out to the different building for water. Bed was clean, though height was too low to sit straight. Toilet was a bit smelly, but overall, okay.
