Urgently need reform! Bathrooms should be separated by gender. Security doors don't work anyone comes in. Close this place paint, repair and do it a heavy cleaning. It also separates toilets and showers by gender. I didn't feel safe In mixed bathrooms.

Booked a 12-bed dorm and paid extra cause the photos showed the bunks to be 2 levels. In reality, there are THREE. They are extremely precarious and uncomfortable. Website and photos needs to be updated. Location is excellent though. Across the street from train station and block away from airport bus.

In our first stay in Edinburgh in a hostel, we found the experience at St. Christopher's Inn very enjoyable!! The views outside our room were incredible and appreciated the walkability and safety we felt throughout our stay. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Great hostel in a very nice and convenient location. Staff was nice and helpful. The rooms were clean. My only issue was that the bathroom closest to my room I shared had a poopy clogged toilet left for 2 days and it was gross and smelly and I forgot several times so had to keep seeing it. Should be taken care of much sooner. Also that bathroom had no soap to wash your hands with for 2 days, I was only there for 3. Hand soap in the bathroom is a MUST, without me having to go grab my shower body wash.

I was in the girls dorm and it felt safe. I saw multiple cameras and locks on the way in. The lockers were a nice size. You need to bring your own lock but I was able to fit my carry-on, my backpack, and my 2 tote bags and I still had a bit of space.
