Brodie's was a great place to stay! The staff was very friendly and helpful, and I met some really great people there! Edinburgh was amazing!

Description
Brodies Hostel Edinburgh
If you don’t want to be just another name in an endless sea of backpackers and budget travellers stay in a hostel in Edinburgh that has a homely feel about it. Brodies Hostel is right in the heart of the city on Royal Mile and many of Edinburgh’s historical buildings, pubs and clubs are literally on its doorstep. The friendly staff of this converted 17th century building will soon get you settled into your private double or twin room, or bed in a dorm room.
Brodies Hostel may be a compact budget hostel but it houses a great range of facilities. After a hot shower in the morning you can save money by preparing breakfast and all your other meals in the fully equipped kitchen which offers free tea and coffee. After a hard days sightseeing or a busy nights clubbing you can relax in the common room or catch up with your emails in the internet café. You needn’t worry about trudging to a launderette either as Brodies Hostel has a laundry service too!

Attractions
Brodies Hostel is located in the Old Town of Edinburgh right on world famous Royal Mile which starts at Holyrood House palace and ends at Edinburgh Castle, both of which are well worth a visit during your stay. You can explore Old Town by hopping on an open top bus, but if you are feeling more adventurous take the spooky ghost tour. In the evenings, the pubs and clubs provide a great range of entertainment to suit all tastes so it’s lucky that many of them are within walking distance of Brodies.

We were very shocked to discover that we were expected to share room with 6 males. I expressed my dismay about this. When we were shown the room, the person at reception merely said we will be sharing with scholars and their teacher. We assumed it was females. I was still charged for the night, times 2 persons, even though I went to look for suitable accommodation for the Saturday night. The Sunday however, we spent at Brodies, since we had the room to ourselves, my sister and I. I found it upsetting that the person at reception recommended another place of stay, yet was not prepared to give a refund. I wish that the institutions could be more specific. r.e. gender of allocation to dorms. If i had to come with a mixed party of my own accord, the arrangement would have suited me, but it posed a problem when it came to mixed gender, with all strangers. Next time I will not pay for any rooms until i am very clear about the set-up. Thanking you.
