Belford Hostel

Ein gut eingerichtetes Hostel, welches in der Nähe vom Stadtzentrum liegt. Die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten fußläufig binnen 40 min. erreichbar. Wer keine hohen Ansprüche hat und auch mal selbst kochen mag, hat mit dem Belford Hostel eine günstige Alternative zum Hotel.

這是一家非常有趣的酒店，由教堂改建而成，服務人員很好，友善而周到。因為是歷史建築沒辦法改建，房間還是比較大，有集體廚房，電影室，單間少，因此用公用浴室洗漱還是比較方便。感受獨特氛圍還是很有意思。

We stayed at Belford Hostel in a private room (No. 7), and unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The room was not clearly cleaned—there were leftovers from past guests behind the nightstand, which was pretty off-putting. The cleanliness overall was poor, with noticeable dust and a general lack of attention to detail. To make matters worse, the hostel's garbage deposit was right outside our door, which added to the unpleasant atmosphere. The walls in the room were incredibly thin, and we could hear every noise from the hallway and other rooms, making it difficult to sleep peacefully. Additionally, at check-in, they pushed (and almost insisted) that we pay for a towel, even though there were towels already provided in the room. This felt unnecessary and a bit of a scam. Overall, we wouldn’t recommend this hostel unless they address these issues with cleanliness, noise levels, and customer service.

I have to say do ignore the neggy reviews. I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel and all the staff are super friendly. Please be kind and respectful to this lot - they’re such good bunch! And the hostel has a really nice chilled atmosphere, best hostel stay I’ve had so far and I’ve stayed in at least four in Edinburgh alone just sayin’. ~ Rose

Two things need to be remembered - its a very old building, and its a budget hostel. Knowing that, I was pleasantly surprised at my stay. Private room with an old-fashioned key made the history of the place that little bit more real. The staff where friendly and helpful. The only downside is that it is a little out of the way from most tourist attractions - 2-3km walk to most attractions.

It’s a shame that our stay here had to be ruined by the unfriendly, unprofessional and frankly plain rude staff. The location and facilities of Belford hostel are great, however the way I have been treated as a paying customer is appalling. I would love to know if the owner is aware that their business is being run into the ground by a bunch of clowns. They get drunk every single night in the common room and scream like toddlers keeping the customers awake at all hours of the night. When entering the common area you are greeted with eye rolls by the majority of the staff. There is never a staff member at reception, the ‘back in 5 minutes sign’ is their constant excuse, and if you can summon the courage to ring the bell, you’re eventually approached by a staff member who looks as though they would rather you just leave (excluding Seamus and Tara). I have never felt like such a burden when simply trying to pay to extend my stay. The way the manager, Tas acts is as if he wants to run the place broke. After years of experience working in the customer service industry, including in hotels, I am embarrassed for this company and feel horrible for the owner. P.s the hallway smells like sewerage.
