Best budget accommodation in Haymarket

Three night stay in a mixed dormitory. Much against expectations, the bunks were really comfortable and spacious. I'd stay again (in fact I've already booked my next stay). Outstanding value for money and really friendly staff.

Good location, low price

Pros: The staff was very nice.
Cons: Baggage lockers are needed
Location: Close to restaurants and shops with food. Close to the city center. Excellent connection by tram with the airport. I recommand visiting the next door
The staff was very nice. The conditions typical for a hostel. Close to restaurants and shops with food. Close to the city center. Excellent connection by tram with the airport. I recommand visiting the next door club on Sunday when they play Scottish music.

Nice staff but not a good sleep

Not a good experience. The staff was nice and the room and breakfast affordable but I slept bad. There were noises from the street and the bunk bed moved and shaked every time the person below my bed moved. I could feel his every move. Location was ok but when it comes to accommodation I want to be able to sleep. And I found someone else's socks on the bed.

One of the last free beds in the city for a quiet high price (37€ for juts one night). The house looks nice from the outside and perhaps it was once even at the inside, when those photos were taken on there website. But when I arrived it was dirty as no other hostel I ever saw! I am not a fan of mixed dorms, or even worth mixed bathrooms - but this was just disgusting at some points! On my mattress cover were a lot of spots, one of them even red like, yeah, you know what...I have put it away, because the mattress itself looked way cleaner. In the bathroom you could find everywhere hairs and other dirt - I was so glad to leave the next day. Anyway, the stuff was really nice and friendly - nothing to complain at this point and even though I didn`t used it, its nice, that they have a computer, wifi and hair dryers. The blankets could be a bit thicker in this cold weather now, I was just the hole night freezing while awake from the snoring people around me.
