Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
It probably worth the price. Poor mattress and pillow, constant in and out from people until almost midnight, craking bed. You must be ready for company, strangers from anywhere around you all the time. Located downtown so you are near of every touristic attractions in Edinburg. Additionnal fee for a towel (3£), padlock (4£), morning breakfast (5-6£) Small showers and toilets. (~1m2)

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.

Extremely helpful and friendly front desk! Rooms were perfect, bathrooms / toilets were kept clean, excellent location close to everything (I didn't even have to take public transit!). The only con is the common areas aren't big enough or nice enough given the number of people the hostel.
