Edinburgh Metro Youth Hostel

ユースホステルでした。

Mein Zimmer war ruhig und sauber. Das Bett war gut. Das Badezimmer könnte mal saniert werden. Für ein Hostel aber ok.

Das Personal war super und freundlich und hat mir meinen (sehr schweren) Koffer aufs Zimmer getragen. Die Matratze ist aber so durchgelegen, dass ich besser auf dem Boden geschlafen hätte. Mir tun die Studenten leid, die während des Semesters in solchen Betten schlafen müssen.

Was as expected. Basic accommodation at a reasonable price.

It's a student accommodation during term time, so do not expect hotel service. It's still great for the price.

Le personnel est présent pour aider, cependant la propreté et le rapport qualité/prix pourrait être amélioré.

Third year staying here for the fringe - excellent location, basic but clean facilities, great staff. Being able to leave luggage (at no extra charge) is great too.

This hostel is ideally located for attending the Fringe festival, but it is far from glamourous. Each room is quite small, basic and the floorboard creak loudly. The shared bathroom (between five) on each corridor is outdated and super basic. You will need to bring or hire towels and toiletries as they are not provided here. Good think is that there is a shared kitchen with fridge, so if you want to cook and eat on a budget or just have a cup of tea you can with ease, but walking down the corridor expect more creaking. In my room too, the window was open, which made it very cold and noisy during my stay as people talking in the courtyard and arriving early (late am) to check in were often inconsiderate of guests trying to sleep off an early AM return to sleep. On the up side it is fairly cheap most nights, but I would not pay more than £40 a night to stay here. Even at that point is overcharging aka a theft from your pockets.

Fringe in Edinburgh just awesome. Beautiful city.. Central hostal

Student accommodation which is basic and can be noisy but is right at the centre of the action for the Festival. Single rooms only.

I booked this hotel during the Edinburgh Fringe festival at very short notice (only booked my holiday 2 weeks before going) so it won on the price and the location front. Took about 2 minutes to walk from my room to the Royal Mile (via Hunter Square) which was fantastic, and a taxi ride back from literally any of the shows I went to see would cost less than 5 pounds (so cheap in comparison to taxis back home where a similar journey would cost you 3 times as much!) Onto the negatives... This facility operates as student accommodation for most of the year, so keep in mind that you are booking a private room in an apartment with shared bathroom/kitchen facilities. I was aware of this going in, but nothing could have prepared me for the stench in the living room, the crusted on "who knows what this is" on the oven/stove top, and the fact that every time I went to use the bathroom, it looked as though one of my "flatmates" had partaken in a pee party all over the bathroom floor. Pee everywhere, you almost could have opened a public swimming pool there was so much of it. The front desk staff would not send someone up to get it cleaned. The bed itself was like lying on a slab of concrete, with a very sad foam mattress.

Stayed there for the bank holiday weekend, room was big and spacious (it had a funny smell though). The shared bathroom was cleaned only the first day of my stay, for the rest of the 2 days, no one cleaned it. Compared to the other hostel of this chain, I was a bit disappointed.

El colchón tenía una cubierta tan finita que sus resortes me lastimaron impidiéndome dormir la primera de las 4 noches y la solución fue darme un acolchado para disminuir la incomodidad, no cambiarme el colchón! No me avisaron que llevará mi propia toalla, hay que pagar 2 libras por una! Y sacarse uno mismo sus sábanas y dejarlas abajo antes de irse!

The hostel located in a good location, but very noisy as next to the pub Staff are very nice and helpful Facilities are basic but as it's a hostel, I don't expect too much

Excellent location that was in the middle of old town right on the door step of all the different free fringe events. Staff were really friendly and I felt safe while traveling alone.

Chambre en cité universitaire, confort minimal, faible isolation phonique la nuit, nombreux escaliers durs à monter. Tranche avec le charme d'Edinburgh, mais bien situé dans la vieille ville, à une rue du Royal Mile et environ 1 mile du chateau.

Room was clean & staff nice. Location very central. If you have a problem with stairs or staying above a pub this place is not for you.

I had the worst polyester bed linen ever which nobody changed once in a whole week. It was actually an overpriced student dorm I would not recommend to anyone caring for a good night sleep. The only thing good about it is the location.

Wasn't happy that the rooms were mixed, wasn't told that when I booked. Will stay in other hostels in future. Its a shame as the location was ideal.

Near from city center, which is good, quite loud neighborhood in the middle of the night though.
