About Princes Street Backpackers East

Address: 5 West Register Street, Edinburgh, Scotland
Princes Street East caters mainly for independent, international backpackers between the ages of 18 and 30, although any traveler over the age of 18 with a valid international passport is welcome. We offer an easygoing atmosphere, comfortable dormitories and private double rooms. Facilities include a TV lounge with a movie library, a shop, a guest kitchen, a dining area, laundry services, lockers, a payphone and internet access. A free dinner is served every Sunday night.

We do not have a curfew or lock-out time.

Long-term rates are available.

Please note: we do not accept groups or guests under the age of 18. A passport or ID card must be presented at check-in.



Your credit card will not be charged unless you default on the booking. Please note that any cancellations must be made a full 24hrs before the day of arrival (for example: if your booking is on the 3rd then you must notify us of your cancellation before 11:59pm on the 1st), or the full amount of your first night's stay will be charged. Please note that guests must be over the age of 18 years, and able to provide photo identification at the time of check-in. We ask that you bring some photographic identification with you to check in, preferably your passports, or photo driving licences. Check out time is at 10:30am, and most rooms will be ready for check in by 2pm. If your room is not ready at the time you arrive, we are able to hold your luggage for you and allow access to kitchen, bathroom and common room facilities until you are able to go into the room.
