Bus Station Backpackers Edinburgh Hostel Reviews

The staff was very friendly and the common room and bathroom facilities were nice, as well as the included breakfast. Yet the dorm room smelt of mold a little and that wasn't pleasant at all.

This hostel is great. It's small and very personal. The homemade bread is delicious. We had a great experience here!

The windows didn't open and the room was smelling of old socks, that would never go away. There were only 2 Bathrooms, that get jammed during the morning. Breakfast was average. Small hostel, I was slightly disappointed, as the reviews were so positive. But actual place, lacked of the promised atmosphere. For a few days its ok and only if you need a place to sleep central and last minute.

I loved the zen like vibe at this place. Really relaxed and made you feel at home/safe. Small hostel ideal for travelers and backpackers. If I'm ever in Edinburgh again, I'll defintiely stay again.

The staff were extremely helpful about what to do in Edinburgh and the cost was realy good.

Negative: Poorly organized, no security on dorms (broken door lock); malfunctioned bathrooms. Positive: Free wifi, cozy lounge, great location.

Andrea was really nice and helpful. Breakfast was ok, not too much variety but sill fair. General cleanliness was very good just need few improvements in the bathrooms, in the showers to be more specific but sill pretty acceptable.

Fantastic little hostel, cosy, warm & clean, good bathroom and kitchen facilities, would definitely stay here again!

If you just need a place to sleep this is a decent option, but don\'t expect much more. It can be hard to find since there there isn\'t any real signage I walked by it twice until I realized it was in the basement of a house. Overall it\'s small, but at least the rooms are fairly large. There are only 2 bathrooms which get jammed in the morning and the breakfast is a loaf of bread with some jam. For the money you can probably find a better value in the city.

Great hostel, quiet, clean, well-located, few rooms, nice people. All what I was looking for. Absolutely recommendable for those who want to stay in a quiet but warm place. Definitely not for party people.

One of the best Hostels I have ever stayed in. Very clean, cosy Hostel with good breakfast. Very, very friendly and helpful staff. I totally recommend to stay in this Hostel!!

Andrea is what makes this hostel so great, she makes it feel like home. Its just like she has invited you to her house for the weekend. The best hostel I have ever stayed in.

Best hostel I've stayed in. Andrea was an amazing host! Great atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Great location, good facilities. I'd stay here again for sure!

Wonderful hostel! Small and quiet. Very nice atmosphere. Ideal for single travellers looking for a kind and cheap accommodation. The relation between price and quality is just excellent. Although it would be good to change the mattresses.

The hostel is in basement/ground level. If you don't feel like being on the lower level, this is not yours to stay; however, the place is in quiet area for a good rest/sleep and the shower is very good.

Great hostel! Loved the smallness of the hostel and the community feeling among everyone there. The main room was a great place to hang out with everyone else. Also loved the selection of movies, Scottish music always playing, and the pub crawl organized by Steve.

Really nice hostel, helpfull staff and great location.

This hostel is just brilliant! Location: very close to the bus station, convenient! Facilities : clean beds, free deposit box, hot shower, fully equipped kitchen, dining area, big flat screen TV, wifi and use of computer for free.....everywhere is clean and comfortable Atmosphere : its a small hostel, you can easily talk and meet with other travellers and the owner Steve in the cozy sitting room. Breakfast : fresh, homemade bread. Unbeatable. tea coffee juice cereal available as well.

A short walk from Princes Street and the Royal Mile, but worth it! Such a small hostel means you really get to meet the other guests (if you want to). Lots of nice people staying there. Recommended!

the hostel was great, small, cozy, homey. It was really comfortable and the staff are stellar, they sit you down with a map and show you all the things you need to know like great coffee places and fantastic restaurants. I felt comfortable enough to ask questions at any time and they were always kind enough to help. The hostel is quiet and a great place to catch up on some well needed sleep. I felt really at home, thankyou.
