[UK. Accommodation] Hostel in Scotland- St Christopher's Edinburgh

Let me share my FIRST with you all.

This was the FIRST TIME of me staying in a hostel ON MY OWN for a night.

I was a bit nervous to be honest.

But I knew I have experienced the worst in Florence and nothing could be worse since I was going for a SAME SEX 10-BED ROOM this time.

And I picked ST. CHRISTOPHER'S as my first, the one in the middle of the picture.

In fact I found out the bars to the left and to the right were belong to ST. CHRISTOPHER'S as well.

I love the location of this hostel!
It is right on the main road, on the busy and easy-to-find MARKET STREET!
It is only 3-4 minutes away from the railway station of Edinburgh!
In terms of location, I would say this hostel is definitely PERFECT!

Besides, I love that they got online check-in service!
Not like it's very helpful as I still had to show them my ID card when getting the key, but it just gave people an impression of COOL and PROFESSIONAL hahaa

This was how it look like when I first opened the door. A very nicely paint wall with a lot of posters.

It was very nice that they got 24-hr reception here and the check-in process was indeed quite efficient and timely (not sure if it is because I have checked-in online though).

They would give you your key, and a city map and a note on the hostel including the house rules, wifi information, a voucher to breakfast, and discount coupons on food and drinks at the bar.

HAVE I NOT MENTIONED I GOT FREE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST?

This was indeed the reason I picked this hostel between a few other options hahaa

The room key was a electronic card and I was grateful for that as its easier to keep in the wallet.

Oh, I spotted that it has a LIFT but it was currently malfunctioning at the moment I stayed.

Luckily, as I did not have much things to carry, just my small bag pack and small bag, 

the THREE STAIRS walk did not bother me at all.

AND SO, this was my room for the night in EDINBURGH, the CAPITAL OF SCOTLAND!

I love it PINK and...

the wall paper was MATCHING and COLOURFUL!

Obviously it lighten my day and made my joy!

And talking about the room as a whole, 

the bed sheets and pillow seemed fine and clean, at least I didn't get bed bug bites,

and the ensuite bathroom was very clean and neat,

also the hot shower was alright.

BUT,

the room was a bit cold and chilly as not all the heaters were working as-a-matter-of-factly,

WIFI worked only in the CHILLING ROOM on the 1st floor,

there weren't enough electric plugs and obviously no plus for the ones sleeping on the upper bed,

and one last thing,

it was rather frustrating waiting for the toilet for more than 30 minutes in the next morning since I was sharing with 9  other people. 

And since this hostel was located at a quite decent location, the view outside of the window was quite nice! 

You could see the Monument and the New Town clearly!

So sad that I wasn't allocated a bed right next to the window though:(

And this was the bar that provided BREAKFAST on the next morning.

The breakfast wasn't much to choose from, but good enough to make my stomach smiled.

I think I had picked up an apple, a bowl of cereals, a cup of hot tea and two pieced of toasts.

SOUDNS HUNGRY HUH?!? 

I WAS STARVING INDEED HAHAA

And since I had to check out before 10am as required, I kept my a-bit-heavy bag pack in the storage locker, I was expecting free luggage storage actually,

 but the rent was still acceptable, just £2.5 for 12 hours for a small size locker and you could re-open it anytime in between(prepare some coins for this).

Overall, I had a rather pleasant stay in St Christopher's Edinburgh and it was definitely is a good value for money.

One night for only £7.24 including breakfast, which is even less than $90 HKD, was definitely worth the stay!

I would definitely recommend this to you all as if you are going to stay over in the beautiful city of Edinburgh!
