polly, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The place was very good located. Very safe location and really close to main attractions. Surrounded by restaurants, and stores. Amazing views from the common areas. Breakfast was simple but cheap, just what you're looking for in a hostel.
Jose, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Very nice hostel overall. Needs improvement: need elevator for at least luggage, needs to fix bathrooms, need to have a way to dry bathrooms quickly, really fun area but a little too noisy outside and a lot too much rubbish outside in city area—-not fault of hostel

Kin Chung, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Booked the pod and it was perfect. Had my own locker and it was comfortable. Staff was amazing and friendly. Location was amazing and it was a great value
Luke, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved the hostel! Very lovely and good location and facilities wise as well, pretty economical and safe, would love to visit again! Cheers
Jolly, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Toilet and shower areas are always clean. Pod gives you just the amount of privacy. Storages are enough to accommodate both personal and carry on luggages. If there's one thing I would suggest is an option to rent or have an AC or Fan in the Pod it's the only uncomfy part of staying there for me but overall everything was perfect.
McGerby, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great hostel

Great place , great location
Ryan, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Staff were very friendly. The water temperature on level 2 showers was beyond inhumane. At least 40+ Celsius. Showered on level 2 were better since you could adjust the temperature. There weren’t lifts so had to take my 20kg luggage to the 3rd floor. Staff were really friendly, toilets were generally clean. The top of bunk beds were disgustingly dirty. Dust accumulated for years probably. Ventilation on the room was poor and inside the cubicle as well making it hard to sleep
Lina, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good hostel, clean and well located
Alain, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good for meeting people if you really want to. But if you're not into meeting people it's a nice place to stay at too
Tiffany, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very good location, nice and clean bed to sleep. Bathrooms were also super solid.
Ashton, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Here's my honest review: The pros: + The emplacement: How convenient it was it's right in the heart of Edinburg, you can walk to all the cool spots nearby. I highly enjoyed that. + The staff: There were all really cool, grateful to all of them. + The decoration: How cool they've made it for an urban hostel. + The price: Very convenient. + Private bathrooms + showers. + Awesome breakfast: Highly recommend to take the added option, it had a sweet selection and the cost was great too! The cons: No elevator: If you are in the third floor like I was with a luggage, get ready to do some stairs. The above pods: If you have a place in the upper parts, you will have to climb, just to be aware. Moving toilet floor: I had the impression that floor was moving, I think it was because it was the movement of the car from the street below. Thank you for having made my trip a great one!
