Multi-use staff in Edinburgh Hostel

The hostel is a great place, I have learned how a hostel works and how complicated it can be, but there are also a few problems with lack of communication and sometimes the volunteers can be overworked, it is not often but it can happen. It is important to remember that we are volunteering and not hired professionals. Besides that, I met some great people, had a lot of fun, participated in the quizz nights and karaoke of the fifty bar and had a lot of their delicious hot chocolates. I really appreciate the opportunity and would come back if opportunity comes.

My experience at the hostel was mostly positive! The hostel's prime location made exploration easy, and the accommodation I stayed in was excellent. I especially enjoyed working with Jamie and Paz, whose camaraderie contributed to the experience. The breakfast is a plus, and you only work 3 days a week. However, I found that the housekeeping work can be quite heavy, sometimes leading to longer hours than the staff. It would be even better if the hostel facilitated better interaction between the staff and volunteers. Overall, my time was very rewarding, and I cherish the enriching memories.

I just wanna say thanks for Lily, Iustina, Mel, Paz, Robbie and all the volunteers that becomes this experience one of my favorites. It's good location, the job is easy, and the schedule (Until I leave) was flexible and good. I just have to say something about the housekeeping, look like we've been working more than the workers from the company (that we should just help them) and I think it's unfair with us; another thing is just sometimes didn't look like we r part from the staff team, we don't even know who works to the company or not. But This experience was really amazing, Thanks all u ❤️

The people were amazing! They are really willing to work with your schedule which i appreciate working remotely and being in school. The housekeeping work can be quite taxing on the body, but if anything begins to be too much I suggest talking with management. Overall, great people, place, and the breakfast is a super plus ✅✅

If I could summarize the experience in a single word it would be: Family. Jamie, Hope, everyone at the bar were amazing and I felt welcomed from day one. Always with a smile on their face to help you. All of our conversations were important for me to feel part of the hostel family. Working hours are super relaxed and you have 4 days off to enjoy the city. The hostel is right in the center and this allows you to do everything on foot. I hope to be back soon❣️❣️❣️

The hostel was a great experience. The working hours were a bit long but other than that the tasks were easy and straight forward. I met some really wonderful people and the location is superb. Sad I had to leave early but I definitely recommend the experience for other travelers.

I spent 3 months with the hostel I definitely recommend this place as your next volunteer option. Work was easy and with fair hours. You will have plenty of time to explore around and it's well located. The managers are very nice people - big Thanks to Sean! The only thing is this is more a work/stay place so if you are looking for something more “homey” I would suggest a smaller hostel but other than that have fun and enjoy A&0 the hostel in general :)
