位置真的太方便,火車站3分鐘,城堡10分鐘,唯一的缺點就是,要提着行李圍着旋轉樓梯爬到差不多4-5樓,第一次住青旅,比想象好太多,自己做了早餐,在民宿認識小夥伴一起遊玩,太喜歡這裏了,性價比在愛丁堡來説非常高

除了沒有電梯,其他全部超五星好評!就這個價格和地理位置,是王子街整條街性價比最高!下樓沿着20米(反正很近)小坡走下來就是王子街,斜對面就是愛丁堡車站。真的除了沒有電梯,挑不出其他毛病!

No lift to the upper floors is an issue. Bathroom shared was inconvenient because i go th Bathroom at least twice.
However, Location is excellent and the staff are super helpful. They responded immediately.

This is the best location for the price in Edinburgh. The stairs to the hostel are no joke and that was the only drawback for us. But it was worth it!

This was absolutely the WORST hostel I've ever stayed in. I liked the reviews saying that it was quiet, and that was very true. But a quiet atmosphere does NOT make up for the absolutely rancid smell of the place. It was SO unpleasant and unbearable. The staff members were also terribly unfriendly. I felt like an unwelcome guest in a place that didn't smell like it should be taking in any guests anyway. If I could go back, I would definitely stay in any other hostel in Edinburgh other than this one. My experience with this place was abominable.
