a&o Hostel location is perfect. 15 mins slow walk from the Edinburg Train station and 20 mins walk to the Castle. We booked a Twin room and it comes with hair and body shampoo. Towel is provided too. There are many charging socket in the room. The check in was smooth and fast, however it gets pretty noisy at night as there is a bar downstairs. If you’re a light sleeper, prepare a pair of earplug.
