a&o Edinburgh City ★★

📍 50 Blackfriars Street, Edinburgh

"The hostel is in a great location, very close to the city centre and within easy walking distance. The cleanliness was okay overall, I stayed for four nights, and during most of my stay the room wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. The beds were made and the rubbish was removed, but the rest of the room didn’t seem to be cleaned. However, the day before I left, I wrote a short note for the cleaner and left it near the bin explaining my concerns. When I returned, the room was absolutely impeccable. I really appreciated how quickly and seriously they responded to my feedback. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the common area is comfortable. The main downside for me was the noise from the street. There was quite a lot of noise at night, sometimes continuing until late, so this is something to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper. Overall, despite these small issues, I had a good stay and would recommend the hostel, especially to women travelling solo. I felt safe and comfortable during my stay, and I particularly appreciated how responsive the staff were when I raised a concern."

"The room and bed were both large, but the breakfast was very average. It's a bit far from the old town, requiring a bus or Uber, so I wouldn't recommend it if you have a tight two-day itinerary."

Roomzzz Edinburgh ★★★★

📍 St James Quarter Leith Street, Edinburgh

"The room with a view was absolutely fantastic! You could see Calton Hill and the sea in the distance right from the room. The free croissants at the front desk were delicious. Calton Hill is just a five-minute walk away, and the views from there are breathtaking. The hotel is also only a few minutes from Edinburgh Waverley train station, and having direct lift access was so convenient and pleasant. Edinburgh is a wonderful place and definitely worth revisiting. This hotel is also worth another stay!"

"The hotel was a bit old-fashioned, but very clean and tidy, and in a great location. We didn't take any transportation in Edinburgh; we walked the whole time. Hotels in Edinburgh are generally expensive, so considering convenience and comfort, this hotel offered excellent value for money."

a&o Edinburgh City ★★
"Pros: Excellent location, close to everything. Free luggage storage and the staff are quite nice. Cons: The rooms facing the street are incredibly noisy. Self check-in is a bit of a hassle. There's no kitchen and the common area is quite small. You can't choose your bunk, so if you want a bottom bunk, remember to ask the staff for an odd-numbered bed. The washroom is a bit small. Otherwise, it's pretty good."

"The decoration of the hotel is great, there are wide stairs in the lobby, and there are waiters to help carry luggage. There is a large crystal lamp in the room, and you can hear classical music playing when you enter the room. There is also a bathtub in the bathroom. On a cold and rainy day in Edinburgh, it is really a great experience to take a hot bath."
