Centre of old town amazing location from the train station as well!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Mar 2026
The location was perfect in the very city centre.
The locker system in rooms must be improved. I accidentally opened the whole door which included the small doors of lockers. And checked later that with the same key I could open the others. That’s really weird and useless.
9.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Mar 2026
The atmosphere of this hostel is lovely, located just a few metres from the royal mile in the middle of the city centre, the buzz is so so nice and is everytime something going on. Such a nice hostel and really good idea to put names to every room
The smell in the corridors and rooms is not disgusting but could be better
5.0 / 10.0·Nov 2025
The location was really good and the staff were so kind and friendly
The room had an unpleasant smell, and we found rubbish under the bunk bed where my friend slept. The breakfast they offered should have had more variety, as there was only sweet food.
