Nice neighbourhood, lovely people
Belford was my first night in Edinburgh and it was super chill. An easy walk from Haymarket station, the 24/7 check-in was really nice. I had a lovely private room (only 4 of those, so book early!) and the staff were super friendly and kind. It was a chill, well-stocked place right besides Dean Village and not far from West End and their nice bars and cafes.

Didn’t spend too much time at the hostel. We needed a place to stay as our flight had been cancelled, it was a lovely experience and would more then likely stay there in the future.

A great historical property which is not too far from the main roads.
A converted church, so voices tend to carry.
Great for solo travellers because you can get a room for one person.
Bathrooms have all amenities, but could use a larger floor mat outside of shower, floors were a little slippery.
Inside main quarters, beautiful stained glass and ceiling features.
Front desk was very helpful.

Ok…ish. I had to climb on bed and onto window sill to reach to close wide open window, and curtains hard to open and close, didn’t see a hairdryer but fortunately only 1 night stay. Bathroom quite alright, large, good, easy, shower, and near to our room.
Very noisy, youngsters singing late evening.
Reasonable for what it was, but might not go again!

Unsere erste Übernachtung in einem Hostel. Mein Mann und ich sind Ende 50 und hatten ein Doppelzimmer für uns alleine. Bad und WC teilten wir mit anderen Gästen. Es war alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Die gemeinsame Küche mit vielen Sitzgelegenheiten super ausgestattet und jeder der jungen Gäste nett und bedacht, alles aufgeräumt zurück zu lassen. Überall wuselten Hostel-Angestellte und sorgten ihrerseits für Sauberkeit. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und können Belford-Hostel empfehlen.

Si no puedes gastar mucho este es un buen hospedaje! Los empleados son amables! Recomendable para personas sin mucho equipaje puesto que hay que subir y bajar escaleras .

Très sympa! Foncez…
Super auberge de jeunesse! Personnel sympa et serviable! Lieu très atypique on dort dans une église c’est très sympa. C’est vrai que ça sent un peu « comme chez mamie » mais rien à voir avec les commentaires affreux d’odeur de moisissures!!!

CASI perfecto
Todo casi perfecto. A excepción de la persona que nos atendió el domingo, ya que este chico fue muy antipático con nosotros, no hacía por entendernos y además nos hizo esperar en dos ocasiones, mientras estaba haciendo una videollamada (no estaba ocupado haciendo cosas del hostel). Por lo demás, por ubicación precio y calidad es prácticamente perfecto! Aunque nos quedará el mal sabor de boca por la actitud del chico del domingo, nos vamos muy contentos por nuestra elección

Das Hostel liegt bei Dean Village. Man ist relativ schnell am Castle zu Fuß. Es ist ein cooles Gebäude, das Personal ist nett, die Private Rooms sind sauber. Es ist natürlich ein klassisches Hostel. Die Zimmer sind klein, das Bad bei den Private Rooms ist für 6 Zimmer gedacht. Auch da, alles sauber. Man muss wissen was man sucht und was man eben bucht. Das Bett ist leider eine mittlere Katastrophe. Ansonsten ist es für ein Hostel mitten in Edinburgh völlig ok.
