    I booked this place despite reading some negative reviews online thinking that some people always have something bad to pinpoint. Boy, I didnt think that Ill be proved so wrong. We booked this place for 3 nights and we didnt like it at all. The worst stay of my life ever. The beds were uncomfortable with springs poking out, causing injury to my hip. The room was unclean, harboring forgotten items like grapes and water bottles beneath the bed. The heating was insufficient, leaving us shivering in the December cold, and the unwashed duvet and bedsheet added a unpleasant odor. The staff member offered no solution. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone based on our disappointing stay.

    Not comfortable neither pleasant
    The location was okish because by bus it was easy to get to the city center
    - Uncomfortable bed: My friend's bed had a bunch of wood tables between the mattress and the legs of the bed. The beds were super old same as the sheets. - Uncared room: The walls looked like they were gonna fall at any moment, the wall paper was broken in many places - Cold room: It was end of November so it was super cold in Edinburg so when arriving to the room we were expecting it to be warm enough, instead we had to ask for additional heater, otherwise it was imposible to get warm - Noisy toilet: Even when it was not being used, after anyone flushed, it sounded as if it was done in our toilet - Unstable building: When someone walked in the corridor or closed a door, the whole building was shaking and making noises, it was really scary

    Staff was wonderful!
    John was absolutely wonderful, he kept our extra luggage safe for us while we were in a different hostel, everyone was very helpful and friendly. there were tons of appliances to use for cooking and our food stayed untouched in the fridge, we were able to do our laundry in the hostel as well which was great. the hostel was in a wonderful location and very central to bus lines. John was also great about extending our stay multiple times! would definitely stay here again!

    Very comfortable and perfectly suited our needs.
    Very spacious with plenty of facilities. We were a large group on a hen weekend and we loved that we had the whole place to ourselves. Very comfortable beds and plenty of bathrooms. I liked how secure the building and rooms were. Excellent location.

    With the price, would definitely come back to stay here.
    - The house is very spacious, can fit up to 20 people. - The facilities were just enough. - However the cleanliness of the property couldve been improved. - The property seems to have been maintained just recently. - Very good location, just 5 mins walk to the nearest bus station, with just 10 mins drive from the waverley station. - All in all, we had a good stay.
    - The beds are all seem very old, with some you can even feel the spring - Cleanliness not the best, but tolerable
