    My opinion about this hotel Smart City Hostels Edinburgh
    Roslyn - Nov 2, 2014

    Really clean, excellent layout (cheapest bunk in a mix dorm of eight still had 2 en suite toilets and showers) and very conveniently placed - the 35 runs past the end of Blackfriars so you can get the cheap bus in from the airport (£1.50 instead of £4) and still have less of a walk to the hostel.

    Available breakfast was a fiver on the day; decent so I had it three times the week I was staying.

    Would recommend and would seriously think about staying there again the next time I am in Edinburgh.
