About Caledonian Backpackers

Address: 3 Queensferry Street, Edinburgh EH2 4PA, Edinburgh, Scotland
We're right in central Edinburgh, with a beautiful view of the castle and a late-opening bar!

Boasting superb views of Edinburgh Castle, Caledonian Backpackers is perfectly located within walking distance of the main bus and train stations and with an airport bus stop only a few steps away. Our location between the old and the new towns 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.

We are a colourful property with dormitories and private rooms, and we welcome long and short-term stays. Facilities on offer include TV rooms, kitchens, Internet and Wi-Fi, beanbag cinema room, vending machines, free book swap, laundry services and a licensed bar which offers cheap drinks, live music, Wii and pool until the early morning. We have a safe at reception as well if you'd like to store your passport or laptop. You're welcome to leave your luggage in our storage room after check-out while you wait for your flight/bus/train.

We have both mixed and female-only dorms. Our rooms feature keycards for extra security, as well as in-room lockers - if you forget your own padlock, we sell them at reception, too. Linen and breakfast are included in the rates. For you late sleepers, we serve breakfast until noon!

Great friendly hostel! Hogmonay\'s the way to go! Cindy, from France ~ 3rd Jan 2012

Liked everything in here, especially the bar that was like one big common (living) room cause it just felt so homey. The only downside perhaps were the almost endless steps and corridors and no lift, but the rest kinda overpowered that. In positive ways, of course. ) Natalija, from Slovenia ~ 2nd Jan 2012
