St Christopher's Edinburgh - Old Town

Great convienent location right next to the train station and close to the Royal Mile along with a short walk all the other main attractions. Quiet rooms (bar some inconsiderate guests) and decent facilities. Staff were lovely and helpful.

It's in the city center so most of the sightseeing places are in walking distance. Close to the Waverley train station. My room has two floor which gave good separation with 10 people in the room. Room was warm. My building did not have any break room, so I had to go out to the different building for water. Bed was clean, though height was too low to sit straight. Toilet was a bit smelly, but overall, okay.

This hostel is basic but clean and very central. There are not many showers and toilets for the number of guests but if you get up early or shower in the evening you can avoid queuing.

I stayed in the newer building do everything was very new and updated but that meant if i needed to speak to staff about anything, use the laundry or hang in the chill out room i had to walk across the street. Not much head space in the bunkbeds but they were stable. Lockers in room were convenient. Both dryers broken when i tried to do laundry. Easy walking distance from train and royal mile.

The structure is fairly clean and in the city centre. It is one of the cheapest options if you\'re on a budget and are not too fussy. On a positive note, the water pressure from the shower was really good and breakfast is free (if you have booked directly from them, or £4 if not). Unfortunately, there are several problems. The beds were not very comfortable: -the rooms were really warm so it was hard to fall asleep; -the pillows were extremely flat and uncomfortable; -the bed sheet was too small for the mattress so the mattress was all curved up and I couldn\'t fully extend my legs. In the shower (and toilets), there was no ventilation so when you shower it gets all steamed up. In addition, there is nothing to separate the shower area from the little "bench" in the shower cabin so everything gets soaked up very easily. There are only two sinks (at least in the build where I was) so at times it can get packed when everyone needs to brush their teeth. There are small sinks in the toilets but they are not ideal. Lastly, the breakfast is quite lacking. Again, it is free if you book from them so you can\'t complain too much. But still, there was the bare minimum to make yourself a sandwich or have a cereal bowl so it was a little underwhelming.

Great facilities and location but with more popular hostels comes less tailored service. Some organised activities but lacked a friendly family quality. Still a great stay. 8/10 would recommend.

Extremely helpful and friendly front desk! Rooms were perfect, bathrooms / toilets were kept clean, excellent location close to everything (I didn't even have to take public transit!). The only con is the common areas aren't big enough or nice enough given the number of people the hostel.

Great location, friendly staff, good selection of bunk/room options & optional breakfast. Only 2 toilets/showers for many bunks. Clean from first glance, but dirty walls in bunks & bathroom floors.

It probably worth the price. Poor mattress and pillow, constant in and out from people until almost midnight, craking bed. You must be ready for company, strangers from anywhere around you all the time. Located downtown so you are near of every touristic attractions in Edinburg. Additionnal fee for a towel (3£), padlock (4£), morning breakfast (5-6£) Small showers and toilets. (~1m2)

Very nice modern building! All works well as ads and good breakfast! I enjoyed much my time in there .

I was really not impressed with the rooms or beds. The showers were very dirty.

Clean rooms and tidy bathrooms. Very courteous reception

Neat and clean property with very friendly staff and environment. I would love to come back

I asked to change three rooms and have never done that before in any hostel. One room had bad roommates (not the hostel's fault) then the second room was essentially inside the train station. There is a second building which backs immediately onto the station. You can imagine the noise from the doors beeping incessantly from 4/5am every morning. All the toilet and shower pods were full of long hair and were not that clean. Staff were very good and accommodating. The location is great. The four-bed female dorm with en-suite was decent, although tiny, but the other two rooms I tried weren't very good. The hostel doesn't feel designed for travellers, but people may find it OK for a night.

It was clean, close to the railway and a lot of things were at walking distance.

Close to train station, central location, staff super friendly, rooms clean, beds a bit hard for 50 and over

Clean, cheap and centrally located.

Overall the property was extremely dirty and congested No ventilations in locker room as well as kitchen And it was very smelly all over Overall disappointed with my stay I will never book ST CHRISTOPHER , EDINBURGH neither I recommend to anyone Thanks

Great location, friendly staff, good selection of bunk/room options & optional breakfast. Only 2 toilets/showers for many bunks. Clean from first glance, but dirty walls in bunks & bathroom floors.

The location is really convenient, nearby every tourist attraction places. However the toilet is not too clean. But I only stay for 2 nights so it’s acceptable

Wifi was unreliable but good location Good staff and comfy beds

Convenient location but very noisy!

A bed is divided into three layers, and three people can live on it，So each floor is very short, and people sitting on it can't seat up straight,we live together with men and women.

Great for what you pay. Rooms are well soundproofed and Aircon!!

Close to train station, central location, staff super friendly, rooms clean, beds a bit hard for 50 and over

Overall, fantastic location, friendly service, and quite clean. Safe area and right in the middle of everything! Easy access to public transit, food, shops, etc. Downside: bar next door is very loud and people come and go at ALL hours.

I honestly love this place, cut through the train station, across the road and 2 min walk, perfect. The staff are always there for whatever you need. The breakfast might not be a hot one, but definitely worth the price, and the cartoons are hilarious - I’m a big kid at heart. I know hostels aren’t for everyone, but if ya’s are in a group, it’s a lot easier… Bar across the road serves breakfast and has awesome prices with the wee deal card. Apart from one other place I’ve found, this would be my choice!

Neat and clean property with very friendly staff and environment. I would love to come back

Staff in general was excellent day,evening, night and Beluchi’s

The location of the hostel is perfect. In addition the staff members are very helpful.

Absolutely fabulous Customer Service at all times from staff, super value for money continental breakfast and great location!
