Purpose of trip: Leisure trip

What was the highlight of St Christopher's Edinburgh Original

Very Good

The staff is really helpful and they have a great deal with the bar in front of the hotel which offers you discount in drinks and food! The breakfast is also great and complete, served on the same bar.

Because they only have double rooms in the attic there's no much space and you can heat the head a couple of times if you don't pay attention. The room was clean but a little bit old. Nothing that you cannot manage, anyway.

Good place, but I had bad roommates

Good location, good staff and partners close to the hostel.

I believe that there are no rules of behavior for the rooms, I had several problems regarding conversations, noise and light throughout the night

Good price for a one night stopover

Good location, friendly staff, was perfectly fine for one night

Could still open lockers when a lock was on them, triple bunk rooms were quite small for that many people.

Probably the best hostel I've ever stayed in, will definitely be back

Super central location perfect for business or tourism. Very friendly and accommodating staff and super clean and comfy beds with individual charge points for USB and normal plugs. The breakfasts were epic too.

I like the location.

I like the location. It may be close to the railway station but the trains don't bother us at all. It's walking distance to the old and new towns, pubs, restaurants, shops and bus/tram stops.

I booked a 3-bunk bed shared room. The location of the room was at the back side of building and there's no room next to it. There are 2 fire doors blocking the main hallway so it was surprisingly quite for a hostel. The room was pretty small but clean. I had one decent and quiet room mate (which is a plus) and a promiscuous one (which is a minus, obviously). There are just people (or are they?) who think giving a free live-show in the room when there are people trying to sleep is normal, I guess lol. I can't decide yet whether I should laugh about it or puke. As for the breakfast. I had to pay a small extra fee for it. The choices are minimal but enough to help you start your day. The only downside I find is, when you get there after 8:30 they hardly refill the food on the table. Even on a very busy day.

Good for a short stay, for a longer stay choose wisely.

I enjoy drying my cups before I can use them. I also like it when I have to change rooms that I can use a locker for 2,5£ to guard my stuff in while the staff is cleaning the rooms. The location is great.

The kitchen doesn't have a sink nor utilities to cook. The used plates and cups are collected in a tray which gets cleabed a few times a day, so if you got lucky, you can eat from something clean or have a clean cup to drink from. There's only a microwave to cook. Also, they clean the cups and plates with a dishwasher, but they return them with puddles of water in it. I guess they just take it out without drying them. Which kind of summarises this visit.

The hostel was really nice exactly how I expected.

The noise on Friday and Saturday night from the club sounded like we were in the club. It was very hard to sleep.

Was a decent stay but not where I would like to stay for more than a couple of days.

Very good location. The beds, bedroom and bathroom were clean. The staff were friendly.

Water in the shower was cold for the majority of my stay. Climbing and going down the ladder from my top bunk bed was a bit difficult. The bathroom had a damp smell throughout my stay. If the bathroom door was left open, the smell came into the bedroom.

It's cheap and the location is really good.

You cannot leave your luggage right there after you check out. There's only two sockets in the room and it's under the bed which it's not very convenient. So i need to go to lounge to charge my phone.

The location is good.

Some lockers was broken and you need to bring your own padlock or you'll need to pay for one. Another thing that was broken was the handwash dispenser. So, as a advice, bring your own soap. Another thing that I advise you to bring are earplugs if you want to sleep well because you are going to share the room with others.
