Budget Backpackers Reviews

We had a great time!!

It's perfect! I suggest you to go!!!!

We've enjoyed our stay so much that we came back later! Atmosphere was so great! &They have very good books !

Great hostel, probably one of the best I've ever stayed. Free walking tours through Edimburgh and the pub crawl really help people to get to know each other. Also very good food for reasonable price at the bar. Lovely staff, truly helpful! Make sure you choose this hostel on your stay in Edimburgh!

Wonderful place, but the mice come out after midnight.

The staff was awesome! They did all they could to make sure that the experience at Budget Backpackers was a great one. The walking tour is GREAT, I would definitely recommend it. They have really cheap food sold there which is great for people on a budget.

While this is a large hostel, it could be cleaner. It is also a bit impersonal since there are so many people. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Location is walking distance from everything. Walking tour is a great thing to do to get your bearings the first day. Cafe is good for cheap breakfast or dinner.

Some of the bathrooms are a little dated and the wifi often doesn't work but the free walking tours and pub crawls are a lot of fun!

Recommended by a friend and my friend and I were NOT disappointed. A wonderful stay!!

Stayed in a twin private which was actually a bunk bed with a double bed on the bottom. Super clean, nice staff, friendly atmosphere, yummy breakfast... We always felt super safe and secure. Would definitely go back.

Excellent location and cool atmosphere. Unfortunately, it was very dirty throughout the entire place, including bedrooms, facilities and the guest kitchen.

the kitchen was sort of confusing, but the location is a great plus! You are directly below the castle.

I had no idea hostels could be that nice. Great job guys. keep doing what you're doing.

Great hostel, location, very handy, would recommend

From the minute I walked in I really liked the place! The staff were welcoming and had a sense of humour, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the cafe/bar was great! Definitely recommend it :)

Very good hostel... stayed in a 30 bed dorm, that is actually more like 2 dorms of 15 beds each because they are in two floors... the upper one is like a balcony. Bathroom and showers clean... Friendly staff. Great location in the city center. Would stay there again

Be aware of creaky beds!

The cleanliness of this hostel is definitely something that I would like to highlight and potentially impede me from staying in the hostel again. The floor of my room is really dusty, as if someone has not clean the place for ages. If a broom is available I would definitely clean it on my own. In addition the mixed bathrooms at Level 2 often have blockage. The slow wifi is not a serious concern for someone who like to be outdoors when travelling.

Loved this place! Only stayed two nights and wish I could have stayed longer! Walking tour was really great, and the pub crawl was legit! Really easy to meet people here

Great hostel! Great location and good staff. Kitchen is very large and good for cooking and bathrooms where plenty and clean!
