"Traveling solo, I found the bathroom quite clean, and drawing the curtain gave me a great sense of privacy and security. After checking out, I could store my luggage for the day and pick it up later in the evening. Each storage locker has its own individual combination lock, which is quite spacious for your belongings. The location is right next to St Giles' Cathedral – I didn't expect it to be so close! It's also less than 500 meters walk from the castle."

"The room itself was clean, but the surrounding areas were not as good. The showers on my side were not even there so we had use our neighbors and there was one day in which there was no hot water at all. The one bathroom we had in our area had to light and was smelly most of the time. Again, the room was clean and did not smell, it was also huge so everyone had plenty of room for everything. The staff was super friendly I can’t complain about that and they also had the best washing machines and dryers ever. The location is pretty central but there is no elevator so if you get a room on the 4th floor that’s gonna be rough."

"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!"

"The room was really too small, but it was acceptable. But there was no heating at all, it was totally cold and it was unimaginable that it was raining outside and there was no heating in the room. The soundproofing was very poor, I felt like I was sleeping on the street."

"Because the flight was canceled, I had to return one day later than planned. It was my first time to experience a backpacker hotel, and it was really good. We arrived at ten o'clock, because the latest check-out from the hotel was 11 o'clock, and we had already booked a castle tour at 11 o'clock. It might have been past the 7 o'clock key collection time when we returned to the hotel after a day of fun, but the clerk was still very active in helping us find a way. Everything was taken care of very well, allowing us to spend the day happily without interruption. As a backpacker hotel, it is really good. The overall guest room is very comfortable and warm. We were given a triple room on the top floor with a double bed and a single bed. The elderly did not have to worry about climbing up and down. The shared bathroom on the floor is also very clean and tidy, and the roommates who share it also use it well. It is very convenient to have a sink in the room, which is very convenient for washing fruits, washing hands, brushing teeth and face. The room also has a TV and a small safe. The bedside table is equipped with a mirror, a chest of drawers and a cute closet. My small suggestion is that it would be better if there were more places to hang clothes, otherwise I think it is very good."

"Although I stayed in the largest room which can accommodate 30 people, it didn't feel crowded at all, there was plenty of space! Because there aren't many people, even though it's a bunk bed, I can still sleep on the lower bunk because there's no one on the upper bunk and I won't be woken up in the middle of my sleep. I think that's very considerate."

"It was my first time in a hostel and I had a comfortable stay. Bed was comfortable, place was clean, location was very central, I managed to walk to all tourist spots, location was very convenient as well for all your needs as its close to all restaurants, pubs , retail stores and stations. I had 3 amazing room mates, who were so mindful about the noise when I'm around esp sleeping. I think the only downside was as an asian, there was no bidet and lift (which was expected cos UK dont do bidet and the bldg was konda old so no stairs) and the mixed gender toilet/bath. But over all It was a great stay, staff were accomodating and nice. I left my perfume tho, hopefully the girls got it. Wont mind as they were super nice."

GGuest UserThe location is excellent, right near Edinburgh Waverley Station. Just make sure to use the Market Street exit. I booked a female-only quad room, which consisted of two bunk beds. It came with a private bathroom and shower for the four occupants, though the room itself was quite compact. Unfortunately, luggage storage isn't free. You'll need to use the lockers located in the communal kitchen upstairs. It cost me £2 for an hour.

GGuest UserAmazing price for a central hostel. Easy friendly check in. Staying in girls dorm bunks which had curtains. Unfortunately they didn't reach to the end so not as private as expected. No lockers in our room only cages under the bed and you had to pay for a padlock so didn't bother. Nothing got stolen. Everyone very friendly. Rooms basic but comfy and roomy. Showers and loos like indoor portaloos. Breakfast nextdoor was ok. Tasty and just enough. Thank you for a great stay.

GGuest UserWe stayed twice at the Riccarton Inn. It's traditional with a pub up front and rooms at the back. Very clean and the staff was helpful and friendly. This is not a hotel chain but an individual inn. The rooms are not new, nor full of modern amenities as some would require. The mattress was creeky. Nevertheless, if you want a truly Scottish experience full of authentic ambiance, you cannot beat Riccarton. We ate breakfast and dinner in the inn and found them delicious. Had to hop on a couple of buses to get there from the airport, but that was part of the fun!

DDen823Great stay at this hostel! The front desk staff are super friendly, and the rooms and bathrooms are very clean. Minor cons: the 3rd - floor sink is too small with a push faucet, but i notice 1st floor sinks are great. And breakfast have limited items. Still, it’s clean and easy to find, and I’d happily recommend it!
