Anonymous, Sept 2019

It has so great location which is right in front of the Edinburgh castle. And if you visit here to enjoy the fringe festival, almost every show is gonna held near this hostel. Also, has a large and tidy kitchen, so beautiful interior design. A locker is available for every one.
