Royal Mile Backpackers 105 High Street, Edinburgh EH1 1SG

"Very pleasant stay here for a couple weeks. Chill, cozy hostel. It was clean. Lockers in the room and outlets at each bunk. Ear plugs, hair dryers, straighteners, and more available. Large book share. Events offered most days. And very centrally located."

"It's a great hostel! It's run by the same people at Castle Rock so you know what to expect!! Clean, great staff, kitchen, activities on most nights. It's the smallest hostel of the chain. The kitchen and common room are small but they let you use the luggage room, big kitchen and common areas at High Street hostel across the street. Overall great and comfortable stay. I was solo. Stayed in a female dorm. The bathrooms are co-ed but I felt very safe. Nice hot showers. Would stay there again if Castle Rock is fully booked. I just prefer larger places but if you want a quieter stay and actually sleep, you'll enjoy it!"

"Really lovely hostel with a cozy atmosphere. It's easy to meet other people and the staff and volunteers are really welcoming. The hostel itself is quiet small since everything is located on one floor which I really liked. Overall good atmosphere and everything is clean :)"

"Amazing location and staff, great facilities. I came here last minute travelling solo, staff told me about a bar crawl they have every Thursday and assured me there’d be other people on it also travelling alone… I absolutely loved it. Met people from all over the world, sampled a good portion of Edinburgh’s bars, the staff leading the crawl were great. It’s not the quietest night’s sleep you’ll ever get but what do you expect with a location smack bang in the middle of Royal Mile. Free earplugs at the front desk anyway. I would definitely go again. A trip I’ll never forget!"

"Friendly, helpful staff. Clean dorm with plenty of space for the number of people occupying. Kitchen small but has everything I needed, enough space to prepare, cook and good space set aside for dining tables. Will visit again!"
