Good for a night stay. I had a private room with en-suite and it could use an upgrade especially the bathroom. It was still dirty with hairs from other guests on the bed and pillow and the floor wasn’t even swept. Fine for a night but on the pricier side

Great spot right in the centre of old town. Buses and trains super close by which is convenient. Rooms are reasonably clean, but the chill zone needs a bit of TLC as it has an interesting smell. Shared showers are really clean for what I expected, a little small but for a hostel it's expected. Would stay here again

Zia

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Very friendly staff! However, overall felt on-edge the whole time. Mixed dorm had very cramped bathroom, and the only other toilet facility on my floor was also mixed, which I wasn’t too keen on as a solo female traveler. It meant there wasn’t any space I could go to be away from men if I needed or wanted to. Lobby was inviting but “chill out room” has a strange setup and wasn’t all that conducive to “hanging out”. At least it had a kettle and microwave! Overall, if you are a solo female traveler and you are spending your hard-earned money to explore beautiful Edinburgh, save a bit more for a better hostel.

The area was in a great location. My room had a private bathroom but no hot water for the shower. The room was also cold with no way to turn up the heat. The hostel makes you pay for a towel and service can be a bit slow. On the plus side the room was nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable. The views from the window were stunning.

Booked a 12-bed dorm and paid extra cause the photos showed the bunks to be 2 levels. In reality, there are THREE. They are extremely precarious and uncomfortable. Website and photos needs to be updated. Location is excellent though. Across the street from train station and block away from airport bus.

I passed my backpacking era, but since I was curious to see how hostels are these days, I decided to book a top bunk bed at st christopher. I must say I’m glad I only have to maneuver that top spot and narrow ladder for one night😅 The bed and mattress was clean. Bathroom was ok since there are 6 female sharing. There’s no AC; so on hot summer days you must open the windows which mean you can hear all kind of noise from outside until dawn. Location however is very strategic and close to all attractions, good food and transport. Staff was friendly and helpful. There’s a chill out room with simple kitchenette. It was my last night in edinburgh so I can loose one night of sleep no problem. But if I still have to continue my trip and need my energy, I will book in a hotel to get a better night of sleep. I guess it depends on what your trip purpose and your noise tolerance level.
