    Superb
    Very good but definitely too expensive
    The place was perfectly located right in the centre of Edinburgh so the location literally couldnt be better. The beds are also all right and the rooms are well heated.
    However the price to quality ratio was insane and I dont think it was worth such amounts of money for a bed in a shared room

    Overall a good experience. Value for money and ideal location.
    Ideal location, Staff is amazing, friendly, supportive and helpful. Value for money. Kitchen facility was available. free coffee and tea. Pool table, TV lounge, good place to meet people. Overall a good experience.
    There is no lamp light for each bunk bed, I think that should be better. Lockers are there in the room, but I think they have to mark the lockers with bed numbers. there is no elevator, if you have heavy luggage you have to take it up by self.

    Dont care about guests
    Great location! However, the hostel was hacked and didnt seem to care to let us know! We paid twice for the room and neither Edinburgh Backpackers or Booking.com took responsibility for it.
    Unethical

    Relaxing stay. Great location.
    Amazing location, we have a private room in a 3 bed flat with shared kitchen and bathroom. Everything was clean and well looked after.
    Lots of stairs so keep that in mind if youre taking a suitcase. Waited a while to be. Checked in as the desk was unmanned.

    Disappointing
    Outdated room on a good location.
    The location was in the middle of the old city centre. Everything was walkable.
    The room was not according to the photos! It was not maintained as ecxpected. The bathroom door keeper getting jammed against the floor. The room was very small, no place to leave the bags. And lastly, one bad had a big dip in the middle.
