Smart City Hostel Edinburgh Reviews
Based on 7 Hotel ReviewsMy family and I had a great stay in Smart City Hostel Edinburgh. Everything was basic and comfortable. The breakfast was nice, the staff friendly, the hotel clean and the location great!
A very good stay.
Great value for money, everything you could need from a hostel..great location, clean and modern rooms and great staff..we will definately be back
Great place to stay for the weekend - was up for a stag do - friendly people - full of help. Only problem was the rooms were too hot!
Although the website promises much, this place fails to deliver. The 4-bed room was tiny and the noise outside our window at night was incredibly loud. Not a family-friendly destination. More suited to young backpacker types. Also the desk clerk in the morning needs to learn some manners! But I couldn't even 'name and shame' him, as the staff don't wear name tags. Thankfully, all the other staff we met were pleasant and willing to help. And the hostel is in a very convenient location, just off the Royal Mile.
