Great decolations of this hostel. But it is not a clean hostel especially the bathroom... it is so small and not well maintainace.. however the kitchen is big with few large fridges for you to store. 10 mins walk to sainsbury is quite nice. It is quite noisy in midnight and even someone throw stones to the windows. May be... More

I had a good time at this hostel which his friendly with a fun atmosphere. The kitchen is complete and a good place to meet other travellers. The wifi is pretty bad but its probably the only thing I would have to say. I look forward to go back there :)

best hostel i've ever been to! If you dont mind sharing a clean bedroom with other young people, this is the best place to stay! perfectly located, near to everything, very very clean and nice decoration! Great breakfast aswell! the staff was very nice! I always recommend this place to people travelling to this great city!!

We were on the other side, in the private rooms, but running across the road was no problem when we had to go to the main desk or the bar. The room was lovely (maybe could have been heated better?) and sharing the bathroom was never a problem. Drinks at the bar were really cheappp, and I loved the black... More

8 bed dorm was quite cramped. Had to pay for luggage storage but at least they are lockers which might be more secure. Wifi was BAD; always not working. Had to ask reception all the time to reset the router. Only worked when one is physically close to reception. Free walking tour conducted by the staff was bad; waste of... More

I love Budget Backpackers and already recommend it to everyone I know who is coming to Edinburgh through friends or the Britbound London Office. I stayed here for a week before moving into long stay for two weeks and was quite sad when it was time to move into my own flat. Everyone here is welcoming, friendly, and just the... More

It wasn't without flaws but i'd have to say after 5.5 months backpacking in Europe this was the best hostel my girlfriend and I stayed in. FREE Pub Crawl! Location - walking distance (albeit up the hill) to the castle, plenty of pubs and restaurants around. Staff - Friendly, helpful, inviting - couldn't fault them. Dorm - we stayed in... More

Beautiful building, clean and practical rooms, friendly helpful staff, fantastic location. As far as hostels go, this is a very good one. Ask about the Irish bar around the corner, they do amazing breakfast!! I would definitely go back.

It is the best cheap hostel I ever stayed. Staff is very friendly, rooms clean and spacious. We stayed there for 3 times. Location is perfect, in city centre with the view to the Edinburgh castle. All main destinations are just around. Design is modern, colourful and attractive. From the outside looks like small castle. Free Wifi is all around... More
