The quality was very good considering the cheap price. I stayed at a 6-female room. It's clean and quiet, and feels very safe for solo female travellers.

I sleep in 6 bed room, there is no private toilet, only 3 toilet shared by 10+people, I think it is quite dirty, the shower equipment also not work, with small water flow. Quite bad living experience.

My first hostel stay so im not sure what are the standards for hostels. I chose to stay here due to its proximity in the center of Edinburgh and the hotels near the centre are really costly. However i realised that Edinburgh is tiny and i finished the city centre in half a day and you could just walk or take the bus into the centre anyway. In hindsight i would have gotten a hotel outside of the centre. Edinburgh is unlike most major cities and not worth paying a premium to be in the centre
