Bus Station Backpackers Edinburgh Hostel Reviews

Wonderful atmosphere, felt lovely and homely, relaxed check out times made the whole thing more relaxed, like staying with friends. Will definitely come again. Thank you!

felt like being in a family house- very friendly and welcoming. will def come back

A lovely, friendly hostel full of interesting travellers from all over the world - we had a very enjoyable couple of nights.

Awesome hostel to stay at especially as a solo traveler. It felt more like a share house than a hostel and there was never a shortage of people to talk to

It's one of my best hostel I've ever stayed. The owner, Kylie was very kind and friendly. It's really comfortable place. Some people have written it's not easy to find this place, but as long as you check the 'Map&Directions' on Hostel World site , there's no problem at all! I'm sure this hostel is part of great experience in Edinburgh. I would love to stay here again!!

Cozy hostel run by nice people. Your experience will depend somewhat on luck of the draw, guestwise, but the place is great.

Kylie was great! So far she has been the most helpful person on my trip. She is very caring and does actually want to make sure you have a nice stay. In addition, there is a great atmosphere for meeting good genuine people on your trip! And excellent place to stay if you are traveling alone! (And Kylie's homemade bread in the morning is fantastic!)

My stay in Edinburgh was short, but the hostel was just perfect! The athmosphere is wonderful, when I entered the living room, people were chatting and laughing together and I was part of the group very quickly, eventhough I normally need some time to stop being shy. The owner was very friendly, chatty and helpful. She showed me all kind of things on a map, just after I arrived and was there for any questions. It feels like staying at a friends place!!

Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere at Bus Station Backpackers. Kylie was very helpful and gave plenty of information regarding the city. We were not looking for a place to party it up but rather a quieter hostel to sleep after a full day touring the city and the surroundings. This was perfect in that respect.

The staff was small but very nice and helpful in giving information about the city.

super happy !

Kylie, the owner, has a very nice, smaller hostel that maintains a very comfortable atmosphere. Nice gas range kitchen for cooking meals. She bakes fresh bread each morning that accompanies the cereals and coffee/tea. Great wifi and a computer available for guest use. Staff is knowledgeable of the area, with good ideas for food, pubs and fun. I would definitely stay here should I ever return to Edinburgh!

Stayed in a couple of hostels during my travels in Scotland and this one was by far the best. Find out for yourself!!

Awesome!Great city,great hostel great kiwi!!!Will definitely be back. Irish :)

My experience at this hostel was great. Kayle was very nice and helpful during my stay there and the hostel is located very close to the city centre. I highly recommend it if you're going to stay in Edinburgh!

This was my first time staying at a hostel. I chose the Bus Station Backpackers Edinburgh based on reviews and am now thrilled to leave a review of my own. This hostel is amazing!!! The location is not too far from the Royal Mile but enough away that it is quiet. It feels more like a small family atmosphere than an impersonal hostel. We were all warmly welcome and I made new friends from all over the world. I traveled around Scotland and continued to stay here when I came back to Edinburgh.

Great place to stay! Within walking distance to all of the major Edinburgh attractions, cozy environment, and friendly staff.

Thank you for a wonderful, cozy, home-ly stay!

Very laid back, in a good way! The staff was very friendly, even going out with the guests on occasion. The complimentary breakfast was really nice, especially with the home-baked bread! The communal area was set up very well, making it feel very homely, much like someone's house -- its setup made it quite easy to interact with other guests and even do stuff like play card games or watch a movie together. Also a computer was provided for Internet use, which could come in handy.

In my experience, the best hostel
