Travelled to Edimburgh with 25 students and spent 5 great days at the haggis hostel. We were offered an exclusive hire of the hostel and this is great with a group. Staff are VERY welcoming and helpful. Christopher's cooking has to be tasted !! Thank's to all the staff. Cheers Niel

The staff at the hostel couldn't be more helpful and welcoming and the location is just brilliant for exploring Edinburgh on foot. The whole hostel was really clean with lovely comfy beds and great to have breakfast included. Would thoroughly recommend as a great place to stay!

The staff here are really really friendly, and seemed interested in us guests. The location is great, just off Prince's Street, BUT up several flights of stairs -> would not have been fun to have a big suitcase. I slept in the largest room (10 beds, about 8 people in it). The room was very spacious and clean, and the... More

I was staying here one night, engaged people on a pub crawl, got us home. Showers are nice, toilets clean, staff helpful. All in all a safe and good hostel :) I traveled alone, you get a lot of information from the staff

Haggis Hostelsis very clean, warm and convenient for walking around Edinburgh. It's reasonably priced and has friendly staff. The beds are comfortable and breakfast is provided. There are good cooking amenities and it's close to a Sainsbury's. It's close to George street and the Royal Mile. There are a few bars around it which are fun to check out. I... More

I was staying at the Haggis Hostel, for one night, before i went home to Norway, since i liked staying close to the Airlink at Waverley. Very friendly receptionists, great comfortable beds, and incredibly clean all together. Had a great night sleep, great warm shower. I would love to go back here next time !

Fantastic! Even gave a small keyring to us on arrival! Was an effort getting up all the stairs but well worth it! Staff very warm and friendly. If heading back to Scotland would definitely stay there again!
