a&o Edinburgh City
What Guests Say
Good positioning, very close to main city attractions and the railway station (Waverley Station), decent food/drinks prices at the bar, clean rooms, well set internal rules, hot water anytime, day & night. As an a&o client, I am always looking for an a&o location first, when visiting western european cities.

Everyone from the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, especially Isabela who worked during our breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning during our stay and the receptionist on Saturday afternoon who helped get our coffee to go :) The breakfast was really good, I was a bit afraid it will be messy in the bar after being open until 1am based on previous reviews but all was spotless clean and breakfast items were regularly topped up. The room was very nice and spacious and the location was amazing, right in the centre of everything you need and very close to all the bars, restaurants as well as train station. We would definitely recommend this hostel and stay again when in Edinburgh.

The staff were very friendly and helpful :) The location is amazing, being 10 mins walk away from the railway station is so convenient! It was also great to be able to store my luggage for free. The breakfast buffet option is very reasonable and was good!

I was upgraded to a 10-bed room which was big enough even for 5 bunk beds. The room has two sets of separate toilets and bathroom and all of them were very clean with liquid soap supplied. Even there is a bar on the ground floor, my room was very quiet at night and I slept comfortably. Very good breakfast that worth the price £9.95

Even though it's a hostel, the bathroom was shared only with the six people in the room, and there were two shower rooms—one large and one small. The larger one was big enough for a wheelchair. The room itself was spacious, with storage available, though you need to bring your own padlock. You are provided with sheets and pillowcases to make the bed yourself. Everything was very clean, although the beds weren’t great. The room required a keycard for entry, so it was secure. There was also an elevator and a storage room available.

The location is great. Quite easy to get to everything. It's nice that we have a private bathroom inside our unit and there is a desk too. The ceiling was high enough so people on the upper beds did not have the danger of bumping their head. And they have provided shower gel and liquid hand soap. Much better than the other hostel we stayed at on the same trip. They have secure luggage storage room with lockers. We checked it although we did not end up needing to use it. ^_^

The place is conveniently located and is really close to the area that we planned to visit. The staff are accomodating especially with our queries about how can we get from point A to point B easily and they gave our group a map 🫶 to give us a view what else is within the area.

The staff were extremely helpful with any queries or concerns. The layout in the room was great and the facilities in the room were clean and spacious. I loved that there was a communal area for drinks, chilling and socialising. The idea to have different activities each night is a great idea for people to socialise - especially for solo travellers. I loved the location for the place too! it was extremly close to the main street, station and all the shops.. and the cheeky pub and club
