Safestay Edinburgh Royal Mile

room facility WiFi

no thing

Towel provided, soap dispenser in shower, good location but the on-site bar was a bit crowded and rowdy on Fri and Sat. Otherwise calm

First stay at a hostel so I didn't know what to expect. Had no disappointments. One change, it would be nice to have more hook in bathrooms for towels, toiletry bags, etc

This is a budget hostel, so it would be unfair to expect a five star hotel. And for the price I thought it was excellent. The location is perfect, the room clean and perfectly adequate with a nice en-suite shower room. The staff were super friendly and helpful - I left my Kindle behind somehow and they had kept it safe for me when I went to ask if they had seen it. There is a lift, which helped me as I had a hip problem at the time, and there is a storage room where you can leave your luggage before or after you check in/out. If you want you can pay for a secure locker, but the room is only occessed by means of a key for residents only.

The hostel is quite noisy with young people being a bit exuberant in the early hours, but this was not a great problem for me as I can sleep like a log anywhere. The room was small for three, with no chairs or TV but again that didn't bother me as I was there on my own (my friends couldn't come after all). It was also a bit cold, but once under the duvet, that was fine.
