"Everything was great. Amazing location. Absolutely attentive and friendly staff. The atmosphere was amazing. The only downside was that as soon as I checked in to my room, the room smelled of sewage and I can only assume that it wasn’t properly checked. However, as soon as it was reported to the hotel staff, it was fixed - so all good in the end and explains how attentive they are!"

"Edinburgh is quite hilly and full of stairs, so the journey from the train station was a bit of a trek. The hostel doesn't have a lift, which meant carrying our luggage up and down. Still, it's a good value-for-money option."

"We booked a twin-private room. The room was small, so we had to put the luggage under the bed.
If you want your room to be cleaned, then you have to book the room cleaning by scanning a QR code, 1 day before. We did it, but then no one cleaned our room. We told the reception, and they said they didn't receive our request. Hence, we had to re-book for the following day, and we told the reception as well. Only then, our room got cleaning. They cleaning was the basic one, emptied the trash bin, and refilled the toilet tissue. They wouldn't make up your bed.
The hostel is strategically located, but to shorten the length, you have to take the stairs step (around 300m only). If you are with heavy luggage, then it will be around 700m from the train station (wheel-chair access street)"

"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."

"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!"

"Since it is a backpacker hotel, the rooms are private but the bathroom is shared.
Good
•The staff are friendly and will deal with any problems you may have. Even when one of the showers was broken, it was repaired the next day, so it was very helpful.
•The bath and toilet are always clean.
•There is a shared kitchen, so you can cook and heat up side dishes to save on food costs in Edinburgh, where prices are high.
•The location is great, and it is just a short walk from Edinburgh Castle.
It is perfect for visiting any tourist spot!
•I had an early morning flight on the day I checked out, so I left the hotel around 3am and walked 5-6 minutes to the bus stop, but the street was well-lit and I wasn't afraid to walk alone, so it was easy to spend time there.
Not good
If I had to point out one drawback, it would be that the walls in the rooms are thin, so footsteps can echo and you can hear the conversation of people in the next room.
I was tired and had a deep sleep, so it didn't bother me much after I fell asleep.
Also, because it is a backpacker hotel, you need to bring your own amenities.
If you forgot shampoo, soap, etc., you could buy them at a nearby supermarket.
Highly recommended for people who want to keep costs down while still enjoying sightseeing!"

"This is a very interesting hotel in a converted church, the staff are very nice, friendly and attentive. Because it is a historical building, there is no way to remodel it. The rooms are still relatively large. There are collective kitchens, movie rooms, and few single rooms, so it is more convenient to wash in the public bathroom. It's still fun to feel the unique atmosphere."

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!

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.

Ssib-elThe 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.

RRuiyouBecause 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.
5.9/10
AAnonymous UserThe staff were nice, the bed and the toilet was clean. However, the bathroom was dirty. The sleeping experience depends on the people in the room.
Mine was bad because people in the room with me was loud even at 11PM. There was a bar on the ground floor. There was also a kitchen for people to use which was nice. Do I recommend this? If you're saving money, yes. But i recommend bringing slippers to be more comfortable and a lock for your bag for safety.
