I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and offered a stunning view of Edinburgh Castle from the Grassmarket, but the private bathroom was disappointing. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the city center, close to all the attractions and surrounded by cool pubs. The service could be more enthusiastic and receptive, especially at night. The dining options, including non-dairy milk for vegans, were quite good. Overall, a decent stay with some minor drawbacks.

I had a fantastic stay at this hostel! The location is perfect right in the city center, surrounded by great pubs in the Grassmarket. The rooms are cozy with their own light and power sockets in the pod beds, offering a lovely view. The service, while friendly, could have been a bit more enthusiastic. The dining options, including non-dairy milk and fruit salads, were a nice touch. Overall, a great value for the money.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms, although the private bathroom in the pod beds was a bit disappointing. The great view from the rooms added to the experience. The service could be more receptive and enthusiastic, especially during the night shift at the receptionist. The location was fantastic, right by the castle in the central Grassmarket area. The dining experience offered non-dairy milk options and organic jams, catering to different preferences.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were tidy and came with their own light and working power sockets, but the private bathroom was disappointing. On the bright side, the astonishing view of the Edinburgh Castle from the Grassmarket was truly impressive.
