Description

Edinburgh Backpackers Hostel has a lively international atmosphere and is brilliantly located 50 meters from Royal Mile. As you’ll be situated on Cockburn Street, one of the funkiest streets in Edinburgh, you’ll be surrounded by Edinburgh nightlife so it’s lucky that there’s no curfew and a 24 hour reception. You’ll find an information/travel desk inside, as well as a games room with pool table and juke box, a chill out room with Sky TV and internet access, payphones and laundry facilities.

Edinburgh Backpackers was in an awesome location - right between Old Town and New Town so really easy to walk around the city, it's pretty much on the Royal Mile so super close to all the attractions around there (Edinburgh Castle etc).. the hostel was clean, bathroom was decent (shower pressure really good :). A guy at reception was really helpful and friendly, helped us out with places to go at night and recommending certain attractions. Also the cafe attached has awesome breakfast! The only downside was one night the receptionists were playing Jimi Hendrix really freakin loud at 2am and it echoed throughout the whole hostel.. pretty irritating when we had a train to catch at 6am. My friend went down and told them to turn it down and they obliged so all good! Overall had a sweet stay
