The staff were very accommodating and made the overall experience pleasant. They were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with any requests. However, one issue I noticed was that the toilets didn’t flush properly, which was a bit inconvenient.otherwise great service.

great clean place. alot of facilities and very frendly staff. but the only issue was that they have two buildings. and i got room in the oposite of main building. which is great as well. just that kitchen service was only available in the main building. so thats a bit downside but still loved the service.

I honestly love this place, cut through the train station, across the road and 2 min walk, perfect. The staff are always there for whatever you need. The breakfast might not be a hot one, but definitely worth the price, and the cartoons are hilarious - I’m a big kid at heart. I know hostels aren’t for everyone, but if ya’s are in a group, it’s a lot easier… Bar across the road serves breakfast and has awesome prices with the wee deal card. Apart from one other place I’ve found, this would be my choice!

Location is as good as it gets, and the price was fair. The bathrooms were new and cleaned though the hostel has two online listings since it is split into two unconnected buildings on either side of the road. The Belushi part of the hostel has 0 common spaces and the common spaces in the original building where the main reception area is located are tiny. There is no kitchen of course and breakfast isn't included. Laundry was £4 per wash and £4 per dryer which is fair, though there are only two machines for each, and each cycle is in excess of 1 hour. The staff were friendly and professional though I wouldn't return again since this is more of a commercial hostel and frankly the interior is very drab and clinical. reception area a

Beware that there’s no kitchen but there’s a microwave. The chilling room for travelers is often crowded and small so if that not your thing, I don’t recommend. However, everything else was great.

I saw someone cleaning the toilets and showers every day which was nice to know was being done. Bottom bunk curtains only cover about half of the actual bunk, so they don't offer as much privacy as the middle and top bunks. Just something to be aware of. Bring your own lock for the lockers if you don't want to have to buy one from the front desk.

While excellent location and friendly staff, bathrooms were smelly, toilets often didn’t flesh, no garbages in them for women, no simple hook on the wall for belongings. No kitchen, only a mini fridge to accommodate the masses. The reception area was cute but that was about it. Expected a bit more for the price

The toilets barely worked. It’s a cheap option for a night or two but wouldn’t want to stay any longer. Just a place to rest your head at night, despite the bed being too hard for my taste. I spent most of my time sightseeing so I only needed the room late at night and early morning. Wish there was a better, private area to change

Nothing new, but I always check the bag and put on the lock while I go to the toilet, shower, or breakfast. Like I pick locks and unlock, repeat. However, the local travel is very good area for gardens, castles, shopping and museums.

The primary down side is that there is no noise curfew. Also not really a common space to hang out and the toilet and shower closets are quite cramped. Otherwise, super helpful staff and fantastic location. I was grateful for air-conditioning in the room. I would consider staying again when under 18's are at school.

For a hostel St Christophers is decent in terms of beds and facilities. My stay was okay-ish but would have been good if the people from the breakfast kitchen were friendlier and caring or possess some kind of customer service. I wasnt expecting a spectacular 5 star hotel service but at least have the decency to treat customers right. I woke up late and went down at 930am for the breakfast which I had paid extra for. There was hardly any food left - just a couple of bread slices, ham and cheese. I think they had more had I come down earlier. They also ran out of orange juice on the juice bar and asked if I could have some - the young lady answered in a slightly rude way saying they were closing in half an hour and they are not putting out any more. Come on, you advertise that breakfast is from 7am-10am, then at least have the decency to offer breakfast and not left overs and at least give me a glass of orange juice. goodness, I paid for it and not asking you to give me breakfast at the kindness of your heart. It was humiliating. Because of that, I did not even bother to go the next day though had already paid for it. Management should look into this and train their staff for customer service skills.

I stayed in the newer building do everything was very new and updated but that meant if i needed to speak to staff about anything, use the laundry or hang in the chill out room i had to walk across the street. Not much head space in the bunkbeds but they were stable. Lockers in room were convenient. Both dryers broken when i tried to do laundry. Easy walking distance from train and royal mile.

It probably worth the price. Poor mattress and pillow, constant in and out from people until almost midnight, craking bed. You must be ready for company, strangers from anywhere around you all the time. Located downtown so you are near of every touristic attractions in Edinburg. Additionnal fee for a towel (3£), padlock (4£), morning breakfast (5-6£) Small showers and toilets. (~1m2)
