Everything was absolutely amazing! Such a good hostel with cool workers. They all are so nice. They are so flexible with the working schedule, so you can make some roadtrips! The place is awesome, lots of people go there and there's always a good environment between bar-breakfast-reception workers. The only “bad” point is that we're not able to work on the bar anymore, as they offer. But the shifts are not long (if workers work fast)!!!

I had such an amazing time in Edinburgh that it truly felt like a second home to me. The staff was so nice every time, the volunteers were like a 2nd family to me and the I learned a lot in my time working in the hostel. The hours of working and the days off are really really fair, which is amazing because you'll have plenty of time to explore the city and the surroundings and you'll definitely make friendships for a lifetime. So glad to have been received in such an amazing place! Thank you to everyone!

This volunteer opportunity was amazing. All information is transparent and you get everything you are promised on the application. Work 3 days a week and are off for 4 so there is plenty of time to explore the city. I will say the work is hard, so be prepared, but in the end it felt rewarding, and I met so many amazing people. Both the staff and other volunteers are great company.

I highly recommend it. A great volunteering, in a simply perfect city. There are 2 work shifts: Breakfest from 7:00 to 13:30 and Housekeeping from 10:00 to 15:30. I prefer Housekeeping work, I found it less tiring. You work 3 days a week and have 4 days off. The hostel staff are good people, Ryan who manages the reception is a super good and attentive person. Thank you the hostel, I hope one day to return to Edinburgh, the best city in the UK!

Couldn't ask for a better experience for my first one as a volunteer. Everyone is so welcoming, from the beginning i felt i was home. The job is kinda demanding for the body (housekeeping) but it's only 3 days working and 4 days off and it's fun since you always work with someone else. Only thing i have to point out is that i was never in reception and bar unfortunately but overall a truly nice experience, would recommend 10/10, def gonna come back sooner or later. Thanks everyone for making this experience memorable.

Everyone in the hostel was welcoming. What's more, as volunteers, we have a lot of free time to discover the city and the country or to enjoy our time as we please. Thanks again for this experience!

Without a doubt, he was the best volunteer I have ever been to. The employees are very polite and proactive. I would like to thank you again for all your flexibility and patience.

The hostel has everything it promises. Kind staff, flexible scheduling, 4 days off, full variety breakfast, unbeatable location, nightly bar events (and staff discounts), and you often finish work early! Could be better but workable: the wifi doesn't do video well, the kitchen is bare bones, and the only “communal” space is the bar. Also, it's more like a hotel than a hostel!

The hostel provided a great experience for my time in Edinburgh. The team and paid staff were happy to help whenever needed and the hours were fair and gave you more than enough time to explore and do your own thing throughout the city. The one thing I will say is that the kitchen is lacking in a number of things that would be helpful to have and one of volunteer rooms is only beds while the other room has a fridge, a couch, TV and other things. All in all, it is a great environment and the other volunteers were all so nice and friendly and I would highly recommend the hostel

The hostel really shaped my incredible experience of Edinburgh! The volunteers I worked with were all so much fun and such good people, and the permanent the hostel staff were so kind too. The work was even less hours than stated which was great, and the brekkie is pretty extensive! Also Bar 50 which is part of the hostel is a hit with locals and constantly has new people to meet. The location is awesome, really close to quite literally everything you could want. The only negative part of the experience at all was that I felt like we didn't really have a place to hang out other than the bar or outdoors.
