the hotel is close to Edinburgh railway station. But it is not easy to find it. The room is small, only a bed, a desk and chair. Sometimes it is noisy at night since there are pubs nearby. the reception and guest rooms are in different buildings, it seems a little bit inconvenient.

Me and my partner stayed here in July for 1 night when attending a family wedding. As we were only staying for a night we didn't want to be paying high prices so my partner and brother suggested this hostel. I never stay in hotels that are related below 3 stars so the thought of staying in this hostel really... More

I stayed here with my partner for the last weekend of the festival. The accommodation does what is says on the tin, it is basic accommodation but it has all the amenities you would need, it is clean and comfortable and it’s in a great location. I found the reception staff to be very friendly and helpful. We had never... More

For backpackers, this hostel is perfect: it's located very close to the Waverley train station and you can reach all sights in the inner city in a couple of minutes on foot. The showers were not in a very good condition, but I saw a couple worse places when visiting a place as a backpacker.

We found the Euro Hostel to be a great place to stay when visiting Edinburgh for the festival. The location was very handy, just off the Royal Mile. Our room was basic but clean, same with the bathroom. We had a huge living space with kitchen and dining table. Staff were very helpful with directions and checking in/out. I great... More

Let me say first off that the staff are lovely, friendly and always happy to go the extra mile to help or answer a question - very refreshing in such a large,cheap hostel. Also good to note as we were there over the Fringe so they were very busy. Rooms are very small and basic. No mirror so be warned... More

Remember at all times this is student accommodation that serves as a hostel out of term time. Therefore you get a single or twin room, ie a single with an extra bed in it. so restricted room, and you share a kitchen and bathrooms.
