"10/10. I stayed from Oct 7-13 in a superior suite because I didn’t want to share my space. It was absolutely amazing. The hostel as a whole was clean, cute, and safe. As a female solo traveler, safety was my main priority and I felt secure throughout my whole stay. The room was cute with an amazing view of St Giles Cathedral. I didn’t venture to the common shared spaces because my itinerary was full but the areas I did visit like the cafe and bar, I enjoyed. The location was perfect. On the Royal Mile. Close to many shops and restaurants. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend his hostel."

Studio was a good size and so handy to have fridge, cooking facilities, iron and ironing board etc. Didn't realise whsn booking that the bed was actually a sofa bed and it was pretty comfortable so would probably look at a bigger apartment next time with a proper bed. The water pressure in the shower was also awful. Overall a decent stay, good facilities, great spot and discounted NCP parking."
