Stayed for 2 nights in Art Roch Hostel. Had a really good sleep both nights which I wasn't expecting in bunk beds. We stayed in a 4 bed room with ensuite shower. The fact that we had our own shower was great but the fittings were a little on the shabby side. The tap in the room had to be... More

Check in wasn’t smooth, they tried to charge us to much, the guy on reception was really nice but he was confused about the booking!! Eventually about half an hour later it was all sorted. The location is perfect walking distance of everywhere in Edinburgh. I stayed in a 16 person mixed dorm. Beds weren’t great, I got a rash... More

Our train arrived early one morning and left late the next night, and the staff was very willing to let us leave our luggage... More

I went to Edinburgh with lots of friends to see the city and Sctoland in general. It was the first time for me to be in a hostel but i really enjoyed it. I've been in three different types of room and I liked all of them. Especially the last one on the third floor. We had a stereo and... More
