Edinburgh Backpackers

Overall:

"Very busy hostel so not much of a personal feel- staff seemed a bit cold but overall hostel is in an excellent location and has everything you need for a short break." — source Hostelworld

"Would have liked lockers available in the rooms, but the staff was more than willing to hold valuable behind the desk-- overall I loved my stay." — source Hostelworld

"This is right near waverly station and right next door to the royal mile a brilliant location and a real nice hostel would def recommend." — source Hostelworld

"I was happy with the level of cleanliness, but overall the place needs a good makeover with a much larger communal area being needed." — source Hostelworld

"I would definitely stay again, though with less people in the room^^)) it^s hard to sleep with someone snoring." — source Hostelworld

Clean:

"we stayed in a twin private and it was very clean and confortable we had a cool kitchen and a bathroom to share only with other two however the kitchen and toilets for the shared rooms where very dirty." — source Hostelworld

"I was prepared to put up with bad conditions for that kind of convenience but found everything more than adequate - clean rooms and bedding, hot water, decent common room." — source Hostelworld

"- Cheap price probably attract very young people who are not used to cleaning after themselves - so kitchen and livingroom were quite filthy." — source Hostelworld

"great hostel,,i had noisy roomates but you cant help that, clean and very convenient to the station and the centre of edinburgh." — source Hostelworld

"Lots of community rooms for partying and big kitchen with lots of fridges, even if it was not too clean - but still alright." — source Hostelworld

Service:

"very near the train station, helpful staff, discount at the cafe next door if you're staying there :)." — source Hostelworld

"Great location, friendly staff and reasonably quiet considering where it is." — source Hostelworld

"doesn't have hot water and customer service poor." — source Hostelworld

"Apart from good location and helpful staff, this hostel has lots to improve." — source Hostelworld

Location:

"staff is awful, great location, rooms smell weird, bathrooms and showers are dirty, kitchen is nice, small common room/tv room, but really great location." — source Hostelworld

"The bathroom was pretty "hairy", drains were stuck, though the room was nice, plenty of hot water and excellent location." — source Hostelworld

"we love this hostel people are freindly, easy location 5min from train station and right in the heart of things." — source Hostelworld

"Great hostel, biggest advantage- location, disadvantage- no lockers in rooms (only a safe at the reception )." — source Hostelworld

"the toilets and showers were a litle bit dirty but apart from that eberything was great; excellent location." — source Hostelworld

"Obviously Edinburgh accomodation during the festival is harder to come by, but we do feel that the cost of the twin/double private rooms we opt for is inflated beyond what it should be and a great hostel like Hoppo wouldn't overcharge people on a budget at other times of the year." — source Hostelworld

"The only downsides were the lack of lockers, (you could store your belongings behind the desk for a small fee) and the high cost of internet (�1 per 15 minutes) with no wireless access." — source Hostelworld

"Then the room was a bit cold and had a funny smell, and i felt a bit sad alone in a 16 bed dorm with three older men, but over all it was nice enough for the price." — source Hostelworld

"cold shower,a little noisy outside at night,female showers are crowded and a little dirty, all comupters are out of order,cost me 2 pounds to store luggage." — source Hostelworld

"+ location is top + the price + old building + warm showers ;) - i had a little dirty room - the buliding is very noisy at night." — source Hostelworld
