Edinburgh Backpackers Hostel

Great location, helpful staff

Great location, clean, would definitely stay again.

Could not get over how clean everything was. Felt so comfortable and safe

It did the job as a crash pad for a couple of nights. Not much sound insulation, room also had a very stale/dusty/damp smell when we first arrived and we couldn’t open the window to ventilate. Perfect location for everything we wanted.

Hôtel très bien situé en plein centre d'Edimbourg à deux pas du Royal Mile. Il y a pleins de boutiques, bars et cafés dans la rue ce qui est très pratique. Nous avions réservé une chambre privée avec salle de bain commune. Nous étions dans un autre immeuble juste à côté et avons été satisfaits. Cependant, il est vrai que la rue où se trouve l'immeuble est assez bruyante le soir et l'isolation n'est pas top donc nous entendons tout, même les autres chambres de l'immeuble. Les salles de bains sont assez classique et assez propres, nous n'avons pas eu de problèmes bien qu'à certaines heures, il y a de l'attente pour se laver (sachant que dans notre immeuble, il y avait, 3 douches pour les dortoirs + les chambres privées sans salle de bain). Nous n'avons malheureusement pas eu le temps de tester les partie commune (cuisine et salon). C'est un bon hôtel basique en plein centre pour ceux qui restent 2/3 nuits en ville.

Good value for money given the very central location and it was clean enough. I wouldn’t have wanted to stay any longer because it was so noisy. We could hear everything from the street below all night long. Also a few security concerns given the key used to unlock the main shared door is the same key that opens the key to your bedroom. Theoretically anyone staying there has access to your room with their key.

Great location, room was small but clean.

Perfect location, spacious room, clean, hard beds lol, not so comfortable for me. Very loud at night, well the room we had which was right on the street. Staff was ok. They did their jobs and that's it.

superb

Bathrooms are on a separate floor depending on which room you get. Even if you book your own room, it’s still a room that was meant to have multiple people using a shared bathroom and shower on a different floor (unless lucky enough to have it within 5 minutes walk). They moved my 3 bed room to a 4 bed room and didn’t say why. I can only imagine how nice it would have been if the first room was not a 5-8 minute walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Also, if you stay during the Fringe in August, cleanup starts at 6:30am and goes until at least 9:30am. This includes large metal sounds and the sounds of hundreds of glass bottles being dumped into a metal bin. For hours. In the morning. Think hard about that. I could hear it through my ear plugs. Would only recommend this place if you can’t afford anywhere else.

Honteux j ai essayé de les joindre pendant 2 jours sans réponse de plus quand je me suis rendu a l hôtel sur google maps aucun hôtel c est vraiment une honte j ai du trouver en urgence un autre hôtel en urgence et résultats des courses en seule réponse a tout mes messages on se fout de ma gueule et sans me rembourser fuyez vivement

Vi havde et fint stort værelse. Der var rent og pænt. Vi måtte dog dele badeværelse med et par fra naboværelset. Beliggenhed var rigtig god. Tæt på alt. Vinduerne er ikke lydtætte, hvilket gjorde at man kunne høre folk gå hjem fra de nærliggende pubber i løbet af natten. Men alt i alt godt ophold, kan godt anbefale stedet.

No water facilities.

The room I was giving is in a building which had no elevator so had to lug my luggage up stairs myself. Room was okay but very loud from outside all day and night. Bathroom could use a bit more cleaning.

B&B consigliato , in particolare, per la posizione ECCELLENTE, a due passi dal Royal Mile. Negozi e punti ristoro lungo la strada e vicino ad ogni mezzo di trasporto. Abbastanza comodo e pulito.

Lovely room at the top of a building and I could look out over the tops of other buildings down the street. Really cool room. I loved it and could have stayed longer.

Start with the good: Quick and easy check in. Comfy bed. Good location. The bad: Shower utterly useless, either ran scolding hot or freezing cold. The bathroom in general was very shabby. Dirty floor tiles, bath panel coming away and the shelf above to sink wasn't even screwed down. The room was very dark with what appeared to be water damage to the ceiling and the pictures on the wall. The room was also boiling with only a small fan in the room.

Close to the Royal Mile and Train Station

The hosts were great! They swapped our room out for a lower level due to us underestimating the stairs and even helped us get one of our suitcases up the stairs. They were super friendly and helped us navigate the town! Good for a simple over night place to sleep.

Very central location and good value for where it was in the city. Check in was easy with the 2 staff members that I had touch points with being super friendly and helpful One downside was parking, the closest car park was Blu Radison From 5pm to 10am was £30
