About Caledonian Backpackers
Caledonian Backpackers is perfectly located, boasting superb views of Edinburgh Castle and within walking distance of the main bus and train stations with an airport bus stop only a few steps away. The walls of this elegant building show off magnificent murals lighting up hallways and rooms with a breathtaking atmosphere. Reception is open 24hr for guests' safety and convenience, meaning guests can check-in at whatever time they arrive in Edinburgh. Our location between the old and the new town means that guests are within walking distance not only of Edinburgh's main tourist attractions, but also all the best shops, restaurants, pubs and clubs.
Catering for individuals and private groups we have clean dormitory and private rooms with new mattresses and quality bedding. We have 220 beds available in short term and additionally we offer long-term rates and have over 50 long-term beds available.
