Default High Street Hostel Edinburgh

I stayed at this hostel twice during my most recent trip. The location cant be beat hands down. Take 15 steps up the road from the door and youre on the Royal Mile headed for the castle.
Once you get there, and you check in, youre greeted by friendly informative employees who seem like backpackers them selves (they are). Few notes:

- Best hot showers ive had on travels... better than my own at home.
- Its a big hostel but not too big and overall it was pretty clean...
- Theres free wifi in the main lounge
- On Thursdays they offer a free pub crawl which I HIGHLY recommend... youll meet alot of people and its crazy fun. I would try to plan my arrival to be on this day so youll know people the rest of youre time there..


Anyways... its great...
