Princes Street Backpackers East Reviews

The hostel was nice, and on great location. Always hot water in showers and clean toilets. Free sunday dinner was very nice. Would recommend it.

was ok, very good location, right in the centre of Edinburgh, a few mins walk to princes street and the many shops and cafes. music from band playing late at night, but i had a rear room so did not hear it once i went to bed, internet was a bit expensive and no free breakfast kinda was a shame, but them i did book this hostel last minute without reading the small print, in all i wont stay again just because of lack of facilities, but if u just want a basic hostel then this is good

The hostel has a great location. It's very loud though.

Only 3 showers in our corridor and 2 were out of order.

No curtains in Room G, which would be a problem for sober people in the summer when the sun comes up early.

A galaxy of details. Photos, snacks for sale, posters, brochures.. especially loved the random paintings that were *everywhere*. Just next to the railway station, Big kitchen, enough showers and toilets, helpful staff.. no complaints here.

Awesome place to stay from a backpackers perspective! We had a fantastic Sundy night roast and enjoyed having the use of a great kitchen. Close to everything you could need and the recommend a great breakfast place around the corner! Great stay thank you!

Despite the stairs, the hostel is in a great location. Very close to the most important sights and the bus stop to the airport. Staff very kind and always ready to help.

it was all good nice and clean, but not a fan of long term stayers.

Possibly the grubbest hostel I've ever stayed in. Staff & location were great however for the money, it was far too expensive for the little offered in return. The hostel was missing the basics, such as towels, soap, clean bedding which would have made the same slightly more comfortable.

Excenlent place to stay

a bit too much noisy between after 11pm

Windows will not close and therefore it is freezing in some rooms!!

Good location. Basic double but had a mirror and sink which is always a bonus. Shower had plenty of hot water and good water pressure. No outside noise. Only downside was the uncomfortable spring bed - if these were replaced the place would be great. Nice cheap breakfast place around the corner.

Cocina muy completa, los domingos por la noche se come gratis. buena ubicacion dentro de todo. Lo malo, el wifi pago, muchos españoles viviendo (permanente) en el hostel le quitaban el sentido del hostel ya que se tomaban atribuciones de pertenencia que llevaban a no sentirse respetado. 3 pisos por escalera infitnita.

We stayed in a double room - nice and big with a sink, very convenient. Showers and toilets were always clean and never full so could use at any time. Free dinner on sunday was lovely and the staff very easy to talk to. Perfect location.

It was magical. I met so many wonderful people and I would definitely stay here again!

The hostel and its facilities (video room,...) are nice. The bed sheets and blankets are not so clean.

This hostel is definitely a place to recommend. Its location is fantastic and the value for money is great. I will definitely come back!

Perfect for backpackers, and student who need best for low money
