Royal Mile Backpackers
Amazingly located Royal Mile Backpackers is right on the Royal Mile in the heart of Edinburgh. As you can stay here for next to nothing, you’d be a fool not to snap up a bed in a dorm here! You won’t need to waste money on public transport either as most of Edinburgh’s famous tourist attractions, including Edinburgh Castle, are within easy reach. With so much to see and do, it’s lucky that you’ll have 24 hour access to the hostel so that you can explore your surroundings day and night.
Royal Mile Backpackers is a cosy, cheap Edinburgh hostel with enough beds for 46 people in centrally heated rooms. You can stay in a male only or a female only dormitory bed here, with each dorm sleeping between 8-10 people. There are plenty of hot showers and toilets for you all to share. Whenever you’re feeling hungry you can cook in the 24 hour kitchen and eat in the dining area. If it’s a chilly evening you can relax next to the gas fire in the lounge and get to know your fellow backpackers.
