Some staff were great, but one of the bar staff didn't include one of our items on the order and then tried to blame it on us somehow. Didn't have great English.

We had a great time, the hostel was clean, showers good and the staff helpful. The best bit about the place was the 'chill out room'. It should be called the party room!

The rooms are nice and so is the bar. The showers in the men's bathroom were broken as well as the locks on the toilet doors. The women's bathrooms were fine, as well as everything else. The breakfast at the bar was really good. I don't recommend this hotel if your looking for a relaxed vacation or if your going to edinburgh on business.

The hostel was qiute busy and noisy, but it has really great location in the city centre. Staff was very friendly and the bar is really cool. Overall, great value for money.

Budget backpackers was a great experience! I loved the staff, company, ambiance, and ease of access to Edinburgh. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. If you have absolutely any questions, they are there to answer for you. Also extremely approachable and constantly making sure that a good time is had by all. The others travelers were great company for the most part. Of course when traveling you meet those really strange people. There were a few here when I stayed. There were also

Not bad. I read a few comments before booking this hostel and I expected a little bit more, especially a cleanliness could be better. However I can recomend this hostel.

Great hostel with a very friendly environment. They hold daily events like pub crawls so its very easy to meet fellow travelers. The location of this hostel is in the middle of old Edinburgh so its very easy to get to any site. Rooms are spacious even in 12 person dorm. Facilities are modern and like new. Great place to stay, made me feel like I actually wanted to stay in the hostel. Would recommend to anyone looking for value at a great price!

The best hostel I have ever had!!! The staff was very friendly, and want always to have fun. It is a young hostel, to know people and have a wonderful time in Edimburgh. Everything was clean, and very organised!
