Guest Reviews

Paul 8.0

Very clean, large kitchen, and the beds were comfortable. Had a very laid-back family-type atmosphere with a happy, friendly guy running it. It's about a half hour's bus ride from the city centre with bus stops right outside.

Jessica 8.0

The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you’ll need for cooking and space in fridge to put your food

Zachary 8.0

It's a great way to meet new people, great value for money, 2 shared bathrooms and a shared kitchen, roof top seating and a pub and takeaways literally 1 minute for the place and free parking

Own 8.0

I asked to drop off my bag earlier than check-in time and the owner is really helpful and welcoming.

Robert 9.0

Very comfortable bed, excellent shower and very clean.

Julia 9.0

The host communicated properly in advance my accommodation and was waiting for me. The room was very quiet. There is a large kitchen with all necessary equipment. The location is perfect - close to the Airport and the owner arranged for me a parking lot behind - very convenient. The bathroom was clean and very convenient as well - attached to the bedroom. I could relax very good.

Shannon 9.0

Clean room, beds, bathroom Restaurants near by Neighborhood felt safe Staff was very nice Kitchen seemed well stocked although I only used a microwave

Roy 8.0

It has everything you need such as towels, cookers, hair dryer etc. Transport is convenient to both Heriot-Watt University and city center. Several big supermarkets are within walking distance as well as a 24h convenient store. The kebab shop (Mr Shawarma) on the other side of the street is superb. The toilet and kitchen are quite clean and WiFi is good.

Ekpedekumo 8.0

The staff were very supportive even though I had stayed for the weekend. I may consider a week stay on another journey. The hostel was located very close to shops and local transport.

Maureen 8.0

Excellent kitchen, spotlessly clean everywhere

Elena 9.0

I didn't like the man who managed the Hostel because in one morning coming in the room 3 times with no reason(we was just girls in the room) .After checking in around 11.30pm the same he come and wake me up for asking me if it's everything OK. Nobody from reception come in my room to asking me if I am OK in my entire life from when I start travelling. And I see that he didn't change the beds sheets after people leaving the room.This is very bad things!
