We stayed here during the Fringe as accommodation was ridiculously expensive! The rooms were clean and like any hostel you have to make your own beds etc. The room we stayed in was tiny, had dated furnishings and we had to share a bathroom (ensuite rooms being booked out already) but if you're only after a bed for the night...

This isn't really a hostel - its student accomodation that is rented out in the holiday period. So - you get a private bedroom (single bed, really rather comfy), but you share toilet/shower/kitchen facilities. I've stayed here a couple of times when i want to be in central edinburgh for an early departure, and its fine. Not flash, not the... More

I had booked 3 rooms at this hostel. I wasn't expecting much in terms of facilities/amenities/conditions. But I was expecting that if I had booked 3 rooms, I get 3 rooms. As it turned out, they had only reserved 1 room. I heard them talking between themselves and 'someone' hadn't scrolled down when the reservation email came in, so they... More

Stayed at the Euro Hostel for a weekend during the Edinburgh Fringe. Basic accomodation but clean, use of shared kitchen was great. Brilliant central location and good value during the Fringe. Would definately stay here again. More

The location is perfect, close to the centre and to the pubs, it is possible to go walking everywere. The room window was in a closed courtyard so it was quiet. Furthermore, you can use the shared kitchen. Considering the hotel prizes in Edinburgh, this place is perfect by its prize and location, but remembering that it is a hostel... More

We went to Edinburgh to see the Tattoo. Unfortunately the hotels in Edinburgh are during these days very expensive. The Euro Hostel is a good alternative. We had a good time. For our group the living room was a big advantage. We could meet each other without disturbing other guests. The students at the reception were very friendly. More

Euro hostel is an hostel so don't expect anything else! It is however, a decent hostel with an efficient 24 hour reception, parking on request and a fantastic location just moments from the Royal Mile and The Grass Market area of the city. There were many groups of young friends so it could be quite noisy and while we saw... More

Ok -it's a hostel as in term time student halls of residence . The shared bathroom / toilet kept very clean. The room basic but comfortable and linen clean plus a proper sized bath towel. Less than a 5 min walk up to royal mile and around guthrie street to a tesco supermarket. Was a bit dubious when booking but... More

It was a perfect location. For a hostel its a perfect place to recommend. I had my own penthouse over there, no kidding..its still is a hostel, so dont expect to much of it, but it was enough to expect the beauty of it".. The people were very friendly and it was directly located to everything. Nothing to complain. More
