We booked 4 rooms so enjoyed the stay. I would not go if not as a group of 4. Price and location are great, single bed rooms were good student style, bathroom could have been better, kitchen does the job though strict minimum provided for cooking and eatin, noise does travel between rooms. Price was very good so worth it... More

I'm ranking this place so high due to its value for what you pay for. Believe me, its not a five star accommodation. You shouldn't be expecting that for such a low price. However, for its price, its a great facility. What it offers for the type of accommodation is why I rated it high. I'm not a fan of... More

Edinburgh is super expensive when you are travelling on your own during festival time. I previously have stayed in apartments because I have been staying with at least one other person. This was the first time I've been there on my own. Metro Hostel is alright. It's student accommodation, and it's obviously for those students who can't afford to stay... More

I've stayed here 2 years in a row when the fringe festivals been on and I think it offers good value for money, especially at fringe time as prices can escalate. It's used as student halls the rest of the year so I mean it's pretty basic - single rooms with a bed, chair, desk, and cupboard. There's a communal... More

Good location. 10 min walk from Waverley station. Quiet. It could have been a bit cleaner!

My husband and I stayed at the Edinburgh Metro on multiple days. When we booked the hostel, we booked through the website for one male and one female. We were under the impression that we would be together in a twin room.... only to that was not the case. We weren't in the same apartment.... we weren't even on the... More

Booked this place way in advance to stay during the festival and although it took me a while to understand that the only way you could walk to the entrance of the hostel is not from the main road that I walked up and down thinking to myself I had gone mental. Super super welcome, the staff are friendly and... More

I travelled to Edinburgh for the Fringe fest and it was perfect. The staff were really helpful (thanks Rachel!) and it was a FAB location. It is a private single room and the bathrooms were a good size and always clean. Linen was provided and towels were cheap to hire. The kitchen facilities were great (if you wanted to use... More

What a find!! This hostal is only available in July and August, the rest of the year it is dorms for the university. Although part of the “youth” hostal organization of Scotland, there were many, many people of all ages there including elderly and families with kids. Probably less than half were “youth” age and it was definitely not a... More
