The staff were very helpful, friendly and a good laugh throughout our stay. The hostel itself had no heating in the dorm, a grumpy cleaner, and a broken shower. P.S. You'll love this place if you want a good location and a party atmosphere...if you want some kip and warm room to crash then maybe you won't... More

Pretty ordinary hostel- clean, basic but comfy. OK breakfast and good value food in the bar downstairs. Excellent location! More

This hostel is within walking distance from the old and new town and from the train station! People there were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the bar and the breakfast. I think it's the best choice for budget accommodation in Edinburgh. More

Top marks for location to the train station without being in the train station. Close to the castle, the old city & the new city. Quiet. It is a hostel so it is less expensive than a hotel. I was travelling with a friend and we got a private room, two beds. Small beds, small tv, small washroom. We spent... More

THE REALLY GOOD POINT IS : The place is ideal to visit the city : 3 min walking from the airport bus stop and located just between Old Town and New Town. THE MEDIUM POINTS ARE (depending on what you're looking for) : You have to know if you go there that it is a youth hostel which mantra is... More

I would not stay here again when i return to edinburgh someday, nor would i recommend it. i stayed here during the international festival / fringe / military tattoo so basically there were hardly any choices left. the location was crazy good, literally a 30 second walk from the train station and about a 5 minute walk to the bus...

I stayed at the St Christopher's for one night and had to pay for two nights for a single/private room. Admittedly, I was very late in booking (only 5 days prior to check in) and most of the other hotels were fully books due to fresher's week. However, the amount I payed (approx 70 Pounds) is certainly overpriced. The rooms... More

As youth hostels go, this is a good one. Two friends and I stayed for a couple of nights during the festival in a mixed six bed dorm. Overall the room was clean with an ensuite bathroom (for use of all six) which made it feel (marginally) more private than some other hostels where the bathroom is available to multiple... More
