I was pretty happy with this place. It's deceptively big, and was very busy on the Saturday/Sunday I was there, but mostly well organised and clean, and in a fairly handy location. It's certainly on the DIY-side with linen and such but that's not unusual.I was pretty happy with this place.

Muito bom! Perto das principais atrações da cidade, ótimo astral, banheiros limpos, roupa de cama limpa... Tudo muito bom. Realmente recomendado mas não é um hostel para famílias com crianças pequenas.

Can't really say anything bad about this hostel. The staff were super friendly and the free walking tour was a great overview of the major sites.Can't really say anything bad about this hostel. The staff were super friendly and the free walking tour was a great overview of the major sites....Close

Budget Backpackers is a great Hostel. The rooms are very clean and there is a Locker for every bed in the room. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast for only 2 pounds more is appropriate. We can really recommend this Hostel for a stay in the wonderful city of Edinburgh. Budget Backpackers is a great Hostel.

Ideal place to stay in the area. Great free walking tour, OK pub crawl. Short jaunt to the major day attractions and happening night scene. Ask for the traveler's menu at the nearby Castle Arms for some great cheap food, and haggis!Ideal place to stay in the area. Great free walking tour, OK pub crawl.
