This hostel is the best that I have ever stayed in. It was clean and spacious. It had the most perfect location. Right in the middle of everything...pubs on one side, shopping and museums on the other. Not to mention a fabulous view of the castle. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone interested in soaking up the Scottish culture. It was so perfect that the first morning I woke up to the sound of soft bagpipes being played outside the window!
