The bathroom is too crowded, shared by men and women. I was busy in the morning and couldn't rush. I hope there would be more space. The breakfast is good and provided free of charge, including eggs, juice and milk.

Because the travel plan changed, we booked a hostel at short notice. You know, it's not easy to book such a cheap bed in Edinburgh. The place is not difficult to find, but the stairs are small and it's difficult to move luggage. The toilet and bathroom are small, but they can be used. Breakfast is provided, and you can cook for yourself. It's very close to the station, and there are many shops nearby, including McDonald's. I left my headphones there, so I asked the customer service to contact the hotel, and finally they were successfully sent to the next city we went to. In short, thank you very much to Ctrip's customer service, and the response and service of the hostel are also very good!

We stayed in the 4 person with private bathroom room. Everything went well! Breakfast of toast, eggs and cereal was adequate! Definitely would stay again! Wonderful how close to Waverly Station! Easy to walk up the hilly street to the Royal Mile. Beautiful setting!

City centre hostels can be hit and miss but I had a lovely stay here! Communal area and bedrooms were pristine, the bathroom facilities were super clean and the shower was amazing! Free hot drinks and breakfast, and great staff- amazing value for money.
