No lift to the upper floors is an issue. Bathroom shared was inconvenient because i go th Bathroom at least twice. However, Location is excellent and the staff are super helpful. They responded immediately.

This is the best location for the price in Edinburgh. The stairs to the hostel are no joke and that was the only drawback for us. But it was worth it!
