Overall Ratings & Reviews Haystack Hostel

I was staying somewhere else first but tgat place was horrible. This hotel was great. Amazing vibe, clean, soft bed, quiet and modern. The receptionist was also really kind and friendly. I will definitely come again !

I only spent 1 night there in a private room but it was very clean and the people I talked to were very friendly.

I never expected that it’s accessible to all the area roaming around Edinburgh I never used of public transportation even though is only 2 minutes besides bus and train stations. Staffs are all friendly.

Very positive iexpeeience in general. staff very helpful. Clean hostal. Cleanliness and considerate travelers.

Excellent location - very central. The many stairs up to the hostel are a slight drawback if you are carrying heavy bags although staff are extremely helpful in every respect and offered to carry my bags down stairs the day I was leaving. Comfortable kitchen. Nice to have breakfast included. Staff were fantastic and looked up bus routes for me and advised me on whether to catch the bus to the festival events etc. Mattresses on bed were a bit saggy.

Friendly and helpful staff. They could recommend places to go and things to eat. The shower rooms are shared but there are many bottles of shampoo and body washes left behind from other travelers for new guests to use. Mattresses are from IKEA, and not the greatest to sleep on, but my experience meeting new mates and being in close proximity to everything made my stay here very memorable. Would come back again!

This is the first time I've stayed in a hostel so didn't really know what to expect so overall not a bad experience

It's a really basic hostel. I was a bit surprised by the run-down condition of the building at first but the overall stay was pleasant enough. However, the bed condition must be improved. I am very used to hostel bunk beds but this one was exceptionally wobbly. The room is very small so if you get caught up in loud crowd you will suffer. I was lucky enough to stay with quiet, respectful girls. Kitchen and shower is well-equipped and clean and the breakfast is also very basic. If you catch a good deal on price then it's fair value for money. The location is extremely convenient and that alone gives you the reason to try out this hostel.

Clean bathrooms, clean rooms, but the rooms were crammed. Very helpful and friend staff though. Very convenient location, right in city center between Old Town and New Town. Overall good experience

Friendly staff, good wifi connectivity, and very convenient location to everything.

Close to Waverley train station

cheap hostel but i paid big money cuz when i booked this hoster, edinberough was full of tourists. everything was normal hostel. 3rd floor, not clean, small toilet, small bed,... but staff is nice. sonya is her name. she was excellent!! she explained a lot of things about edinberough and tours. and i met good friend in the hostel.

it was a great stay there was only one problem for me is not there falt coz

Really nice staff, was well looked after. Perfect for a night out in Edinburgh

The location of this hostel is good indeed and the staffs are so friendly!!! The only bad thing is that there is not an elevator even though it is the fifth(?) floor...

The location is quite central. Haggis hostel provides you with a home friendly environment in the form of good staff and environment. The free breakfast package adds to the package making it more lucrative. Definitely if you want to stay at a hostel in Edinburgh , Haggis is the place to be.

The rooms are clean. Hire of lockers are extra. The room was cool at times (during Winter). Overall experience was positive. The location is very central. Not recommended if you cannot walk up three flights of stairs.

Et vandrehjem med indbygget støj fra div skraldebiler HVER DAG tidlig morgen. Opfordring til at spare på vandet, ingen sæbe på badeværelse, faktisk en skod oplevelse

Thank you so much.

On s'attendait à une chambre d'hôtel vue le prix et non à une auberge de jeunesse. Le personnel est au demeurant très sympathique mais franchement ce n'était pas du tout ce que nous avions compris lors de la réservation. De plus, payer presque 300€ la nuit pour une auberge de jeunesse c'est simplement hors de prix. On était bien placé et jour de match mais ça ne vaut absolument pas ce prix là. Très très déçue.
