Great spot, friendly atmosphere, well equipped, and warm showers!
A very friendly place, with an atmosphere that's almost family-like. Guests are usually either longer term stayers or genuine travelers (rather than all-night clubbers and pissheads), and everyone mixes well together. Located just across The Meadows from the town centre, it's an easy walk. It's quiet enough to get a decent sleep. Shops across the road and around the corner are very handy. For those inclined to go for a run or longish walk, Arthur's Seat and Holyrood Park are right nearby and are clearly visible (on an nice day!) from the Meadows. If you drive there, parking is available on the nearby streets, metered and restricted from weekdays during the day, free at nights and weekends.

Great!
We spent a really nice week in this wonderful place. Clean rooms, familiar atmosphere, really great staff! Interesting stores for self catering just close by. The hostel is not in the city but walking from the hostel to the royal mile/city is really possible. Next time in Edinburgh I will for sure return.

Easy to get to on the bus and much quieter than the city center hostels!
