Checking in was well-organised and easy. Doors had secure locks which was reassuring. The kitchen had everything you needed. Bathrooms were clean and overall there was a quiet atmosphere which was quite restful. I would recommend Haystack Hostel.

Honestly loved this hostel. Between the location, to the staff, to the layout and lounges, everything was awesome. Would recommend and would definitely stay again.
Only 2 very small negatives, my blanket reeked like BO. Pods have their own lights and charging ports tho and lockers can fit a lot. Other negative is their luggage room doesn't seem that secure. It is locked and staff need to unlock it but everyone's stuff is grouped together, however you can just bring your stuff down to your room.
Overall this hostel has set the bar for me. Love love love it.

The staff are really nice and approachable. The place is really tidy and cozy too.
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Place was very clean.
Great location, the hostel felt safe and clean, was nice to only have ladies around and jeez that was like the only hostel I found with 2-level bunk beds (as opposed to 3-levels in most places!)
I forgot my phone charger and the staff helped me, thanks a lot. Nice shower too.
Great location very close to Haymarket station and central Edinburgh. Very comfortable bunk beds with light, charging point and safe locker. Excellent kitchen facilities and bar. Complementary foods in kitchen.
The host was amazing and offered to meet in person if it was something I needed. The lock box worked perfectly and getting into the flat was easy. We felt safe and secure in and around the flat. It was a great location for the local sights but also far enough away that we didn't need to listen to street noise or neighbors.
The host also has a lot of spices, sugar, tea, coffee, cups, pots, pans, etc. so that you could buy groceries and live cheaper during your visit.
I really liked the vibe. It's a small hostel with a big kitchen which facilitates meeting new people. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe and confortable so a big up to the team!
Hostel has a great location right at The Royal Mile, so close to most attractions and to bus and train station. Personel is friendly and provides additional activities. They have towels inclided in price. It is a typical backpacker place with kitchen access. Place is not to big, but works fine for people on budget.
Great location only walkable distance to stations, restaurant , bus stop and castle .Good staffs and nice facilities. Its th first time i was staying in a hostel. I stayed 3 nights and it was really amazing. Unforgettable trip aand stay. I got an opportunity to met new people from different countries. If you are planning for a solo trip definetly you can choose kick ass grassmarket.
Great location, I stayed here multiple times during my trip in Scotland. Room had view of castle. Bathrooms and rooms were clean. Kitchen and seating areas available and clean. Good wifi and PowerPoints at every bed. Staff were friendly and helpful. Did let me check in 30 minutes early. Cheap to use laundry machines. Heating in rooms. Exceeded my expectations for a low price. One of the best hostels I've stayed in regarding cleanliness!
I’ve stayed in a few backpackers’ hostels around the world and this was by far the best. Great location, very clean, approachable staff and they really look after your safety, especially if you are female. They provide wonderful cooking facilities and affordable breakfast, as well as complimentary personal hygiene products. I couldn’t have asked for more.
