"When I was about to check in, I got in a big queue, but the room and the hostel were very neat and clean. In my life, this is the best hostel I've ever stayed in. I can't believe this hostel can be operated and kept so clean. You can also enjoy all FIFA matches here. There are so many televisions here. They also have lockers to keep your bag pack if your flight is later than the check-out time. Hostel management takes my love and that of and my small country, Bangladesh 🏴🇧🇩"

"Reception staff was superb and efficient. The room was comfy, cool in a heatwave and en-suite was clean.
Breakfast was served with milk that had gone off. Realised after 3 mouthfuls of cereal for both myself and my daughter.
Felt unwell and was sick an hour later. Such a shame as it spoiled our stay in Edinburgh.
Would advise in the heat that a thermos jug is not sufficient to keep the milk ‘good’ for a period of time. Breakfast was at 7pm May I suggest that the milk may have been from the day before and put back in a fridge."
