The location is really convenient, 3 minutes from the train station and 10 minutes from the castle. The only drawback is that you have to carry your luggage and climb the spiral staircase to the 4th or 5th floor. It's my first time staying in a youth hostel, and it's much better than I expected. I made my own breakfast and met friends in the B&B to play together. I love it here. The price-performance ratio is very high in Edinburgh

Except that there is no elevator, everything else is super five-star! For this price and location, it is the best value for money on Prince Street! Go downstairs and walk down the 20-meter (very close anyway) slope to Princes Street, diagonally across from Edinburgh Station. I really can’t fault it except that there is no elevator!

I only spent 1 night there in a private room but it was very clean and the people I talked to were very friendly.

I never expected that it’s accessible to all the area roaming around Edinburgh I never used of public transportation even though is only 2 minutes besides bus and train stations. Staffs are all friendly.

I've stayed in a few hostels in my time - I think this is my 13th - and I was a bit worried about loud noises and a lack of privacy. Fortunately I had neither - it was really, really quiet in my 12 bunk room. It had blackout privacy curtains, a USB port and a plug socket. Amazing! The hostel facilities are all clean and well put together. Staff are helpful, although sometimes you'll need to contact them via WhatsApp as there's no 24 hour desk (it's a small place). The only drawback is the long walk up a spiral staircase, but... there's not much they can do about that. Strongly recommended for more introverted travellers. If I come back to Edinburgh I'll absolutely stay here again.

As a women, I felt really safe here even in my mixed dorm room.. It was very clean and quiet, Yann was such a lovely and helpful host. I was so glad I found this hostel, right in the middle of the city and it made it easy to reach all the tourist and areas of interest. Showers were great, hot water and more importantly completely clean. I liked the curtain across the bunk bed and felt I had good privacy in a mixed dorm room. Kitchen is really good, the main entrance/chill out area is nice and I ended up playing card games with some of the other people staying in th same room as me. I'd reccomend this to anyone solo travelling in Edinburgh and I'd love to stay again.

I only ended up staying for one night but Haystack hostel was great. It's small so feels homely, they had a nice kitchen, everywhere was clean and the beds were comfortable. Yann was helpful, I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Yan was a brilliant host and accommodated to our needs. The hostel was clean and warm. It is in a perfect, central location and has easy access to transport and into the city. Great for friends and single travellers
