    Stayed during Xmas and the place was festive with Christmas decorations and lights. The staff was friendly and accommodating, offering hot tea and coffee in the cozy common room. The location was great, just a short walk away from shops and restaurants, making it easy to explore the city. The bathrooms were kept clean with hot showers and plenty of hot water. The free Wi-Fi was fast and reliable.

    The bunk beds were a bit uncomfortable with thin mattresses and creaky frames. The shared kitchen was busy and not always kept as clean as it could have been.

The hostel itself was clean and well-maintained, with nicely decorated sleeping rooms and well-equipped kitchens. The staff was helpful and friendly, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. Despite being a hostel, the atmosphere was inviting and relaxed, creating the opportunity to meet and chat with other travelers. I highly recommend Argyle Backpackers for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Edinburgh.

    the location was ideal for travelers, with easy access to restaurants, bars, and main tourist attractions. the staff members were very accommodating and helpful whenever I needed assistance. the kitchen and common area were both well, maintained, clean, and modern, providing a comfortable space for relaxing.

    During peak season, the hostel tends to get crowded, and the bathrooms may become outdated and congested due to a large number of people.

    The fully operational and spacious kitchen was a great feature, providing us with free tea and coffee, a large fridge, and multiple bathrooms on different levels. It was also fantastic to see that leftover cosmetics were available to use, which not only helped reduce waste but also proved useful for those traveling light. The staff at Argyle Backpackers were amazing and helpful, instantly resolving any issues we had.

    I had a really great stay at this place! The location was just perfect - it was very close to the city center, but in a quiet neighborhood. I loved being able to walk through the park to get to the main attractions, like the castle. The service here was top-notch, with friendly receptionists always there to help. The hotel was well-equipped with all the facilities I needed, like a shared kitchen and laundry room. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, making me feel comfortable and at home.

    I would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

    The location of the hostel was fantastic, situated right by a beautiful park and within walking distance of the city center. there was a bus stop nearby with direct access to the airport.

    The bunk beds were extremely noisy and uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

    The staff was polite and the location was perfect, next to a beautiful park and also close to the city center. The communal spaces were large and well-maintained, and it was self-check. The room was clean and comfy, with all the necessary facilities available.

    Don't have any issues at all.

    This hostel is located in a nice and quiet part of town with shops around. the staff are lovely, very friendly, helpful and do their best to make you feel at home. the kitchen is spacious and there is plenty of space to prepare a meal. You can also enjoy the conservatory which is very nice. the beds are comfortable and the room is kept clean.

    The bathroom facilities need some attention as some of the locks on the doors don't function well.
