About Edinburgh Backpackers
The Edinburgh Backpackers Hostel offers a good location, friendly staff, a lively atmosphere and comfortable beds at affordable prices. Set in an eighteenth-century building in the centre of the historic Old Town, we are 50 metres from the Royal Mile and less than 2 minutes' walk from the train station and airport shuttle bus. We are ideally situated for all the city's best attractions and nightlife.
We have clean and spacious dormitories and a few private rooms in our main building. We also have a large number of other private rooms housed in self-catering apartments in two separate buildings on the same street. Facilities include a kitchen, a pool room and a chill-out room with Sky television.
We operate a 24-hour reception and do not have a curfew.

We stayed 7 night in two rooms. In the first one, nobody changed sheets nor bin bag (6 nights). In the second one, the light went off in the building all the night. No fire alarm, emergency, no cooking, no hot water, nor toilet paper or bin bags. The staff didn´t do anything for us. They refused to help us (they only gave us a torch) and they were really unpolite. They didn´t even let us to stay for a few minutes after chexking out time to have a shower. Horrible and expensive.

The hostel was disgusting-room smelt of urine and was filthy. Hostel refused to refund for the room nor remaining night. Staff were rude and unhelpful with the issue. On a positive, the location was great. Richard, from England ~ 26th Oct 2009
