Edinburgh Hostels

In principle, not everything so bad, waiting was worse. Even managed to sleep. At 2:00 a.m. somebody came and woke up with his noise, nobody was insured against it

The ventilation wasn’t that good so the rooms felt very hot and stuffy, however, the staff was lovely and so were the people staying at the hostel. The bathrooms require a bit more care though, one of the soap dispensers was broken and the bathroom door didn’t close properly at times. Had a great time overall and great value for what I paid.

We stayed twice at the Riccarton Inn. It's traditional with a pub up front and rooms at the back. Very clean and the staff was helpful and friendly. This is not a hotel chain but an individual inn. The rooms are not new, nor full of modern amenities as some would require. The mattress was creeky. Nevertheless, if you want a truly Scottish experience full of authentic ambiance, you cannot beat Riccarton. We ate breakfast and dinner in the inn and found them delicious. Had to hop on a couple of buses to get there from the airport, but that was part of the fun!

Have you ever spent the night in an old church? Here is the place. Somehow the old church vibe is super cozy. The location is central and Dean Village is just a 5-min walk. The staff (Ciprian) was very nice. Overall the room lived up to my expectations. Highly recommended!

Great location for a concert in Usher Hall. Good price, clean and helpful staff.
