It was a great two nights staying in the female dorm. The road is a little noisy but everything else was great! Would stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Well, where do I begin… the images that were displayed were completely different from what I booked. The images were taken pre COVID and they clearly need to be updated. Believe it or not I worked at Burghley House as a waiter/servant for the Queens jubilee in 2012… I would like a refund sent back to my account as soon as possible. Please consider your options carefully.

It was a great place to stay and in a great location being a 10 min walk from old town. I would recommend this place to everyone. The only thing to complain about was the price was a little high for a hostel but everywhere in Edinburgh is expensive to stay.

Comfy and basic
Beds were comfy and rooms were clean, perfect for a one night stay if you're not looking for any too fancy. Communal areas were comfortable too and they have a room with a ping-pong table etc.

Staff were very nice and the room was very clean. But the free Wi-Fi connection was terrible, on and off. The speed without Wi-Fi was also slow for some reason, in the lobby and in our room.
