The only awkward moments came from one person on the night reception team. We asked if the bar was still open and got, “I work on reception, I don’t know.” A quick check or update would have helped, since it’s all one venue. Another night we said hello on the way back and got no reply, which felt strange in such a sociable place. Aside from that, the stay was really enjoyable. We had a private twin room that was clean, comfortable, and gave us plenty of privacy, and it was great value. The shared toilets and showers were plentiful and kept clean, with hot water that came through right away and stayed reliable. Most staff were welcoming and inclusive, and the hostel has a nice social feel. The facilities, location, cleanliness, and price were all strong, and I’d happily stay again in Edinburgh.
