Haystack Hostel edinburgh

Great Hostel in a amazing location, very welcoming and friendly staff. Comfy beds, warm rooms on cold nights, hot showers, good common spaces and a roomy kitchen with all the tools you’d ever need. Room for your luggage and fast usb phone charging. Met wonderful people from all over the globe. Would most definitely stay again. Thank you very much!

Haystack hotel make my tour to Edinburgh even more special by providing me nice hospitality with their neat rooms and perfect loving area . All their staff were so nice and helpful .

Very conveniently located just a couple of minutes away from Edinburgh Waverly Station, the hostel is very nice and well kept and the staff members are super friendly and helpful: shootout to Aurelia, Yann and Mariano! Would definitely recommend.

A really great find in Edinburgh! Price was comaprtively cheap to other hostels which makes it even better. In the reception there are nice benches with cushions and board games to play, which creates a very nice setting for either chilling, or doing some work! The rooms are clean, carpeted and airy. Each one of us had a locker with a lock provided, as well as a coat hanger. Beds were nice and blankets were warm, but there is not much headspace  - some are impossible To sit up in. Power socket and light is beside each bed, and towels and earplugs are provided for free. The kitchen is wondrous, with pots, pans, knives, chopping boards and pretty much anything else you’d need to cook a decent meal at home. Hobs, 2 ovens, and a microwave, fridge and freezer were provided, as well as a kettle. The breakfast was pretty good - food will be laid out and it is self service from 6 - 10 am. There was cereal, bread, spreads, fruits, milk and tea and coffee were provided. Bathrooms are slightly cramped and dark, but clean. Showers are spacious, have good water heaters, and communal soap and shampoo is provided! There is a 24hr reception which is amazing for early check outs. Staff are generally friendly and will help out with any problems and questions. They will help keep your bags too if you arrive early before check in (3pm) Overall an amazing stay!

A really OK hostel, the bathrooms were mostly unclean and the breakfast was just horrible, not even milk.. just cereal and bread. The bed was good, the staff super friendly and helpful AMAZING location.
