My partner and I stayed at the Globetrotter Inn as we were travelling on a budget. We opted for the double room with ensuite and were very pleased with the room. While the room is basic, we were happy with the comfort of the bed and the size of the room. Staff were pleasant to deal with, although our shower... more

I stayed in Globetrotter Inn Edinburgh in July 2007. I was satisfied with the hostel's service and room, however the hostel wasted a lot of plastic bags by packing each breakfast pack (just two pieces of bread) in a transparent plastic bag (the hostel's room charge includes breakfast). The hostel provided plates and all the cutlery in the kitchen and... more

Stayed : July, 2007, 2 nights. Facilities - Good enough for a short stay. They provide you kitchen, storage place, mini market, parking lot, lounge and as well as some vendor machine Environment & Distance - It is quite far from town if you dont have transport. Overall environment is excellent, behind the hostel is sea. It is very good... more

We wanted to stay somewhere cheap in Edinburgh, and the Globetrotter seemed to have pretty good reviews on Tripadvisor. Unfortunately, we didn't have a great experience. Firstly, the so called 'free' shuttle from the Hostel to the city is not free, you need to pay £1.50 each way, and the trip takes a good 20 minutes. This single handedly limits... more

I have just returned from a 9-night stay at the Globetrotter with a party of 52 for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The hostel is in a beautiful location - just on the coast of Crammond and walking/jogging in the morning along the sea front is revitalising. The 42 bus takes you direct to Hanover Street, and stops right outside the... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here from July 13-16 and were extremely pleased with everything! Although it’s a bit out of the way, this hostel is right on the water, in what used to be a hotel. It has lots of double rooms with en-suite bathrooms (this is what we stayed in) as well as a restaurant/bar, convenience store, laundry,... more

We stayed here for three nights as a couple in a private room. The room was great and we had an awesome view onto the beautiful grounds. Breakfast was included but very limited. Noise was reasonable although it gets a bit rowdy in the bar downstairs. We avoided the bar as we got a bad vibe as it is packed... more

There's not much I can say about the Globetrotter Inn that hasn't already been said. Its in a beautiful location on the Firth of Fourth and when the weather (and fog) cooperates, the view is excellent. Its out of town but getting there and back isn't too much of a problem. The city buses come regularly (check the schedule by... more

Stayed here with a party of 16 for my son's stag weekend. We were supposed to have shared two rooms of 8 but due to the booking agents getting the dates mixed up we ended up all over the place-some of the lads in mixed rooms. The accommodation was clean and with the curtains private enough for most.The communual showers... more
