Royal Mile Backpackers

“It was okay”

I like its location, but I didn’t like the hygiene and cleaning; the toilet and bathroom area were clumsy.

“Friendly, safe, sociable stay.”

The hostel sits smack in the middle of the Royal Mile, and the staff were super friendly, making me feel safe as a solo female traveler. Reception stayed open until 11 pm, and if you need anything later you can always walk over to the sister hostel across the road, visible from our room. They handed out earplugs and towels, and the vibe was very positive and social, with activities like quiz night and ceilidh dancing to meet other guests. There were reading nooks, books, and games available. The kitchen was spotless and you could cook your own meals; free milk, tea, and coffee were provided before I left. Checking out before the reception opened early in the morning was simple. The only downside wasn’t the hostel’s fault: the lady in the dorm was a loud snorer and I didn’t sleep well, even though earplugs were available at reception. I would still book again because for one night it’s great value in a pricey city. The beds were narrow, and I wasn’t used to climbing onto the top bunk, so ask for a lower bed when you book. The women‑only bathrooms were busy even at 7 am.

The spot’s great, right in the middle of the action and you can walk everywhere. The staff were friendly, and there were no complaints at all.

The location is perfect, right in the heart of the Old Town, though you enter via a small staircase tucked between two buildings. The staff are lovely and there are no complaints – I felt safe as a solo traveler. The rooms are spacious with lockers, the bathrooms are clean and the staff clean regularly. A kitchen is available for everyone, great for cooking or meeting other travelers. Overall, a superb experience – thank you!
