Belford Backpackers Hostel
Staying at Belford Backpackers Hostel will certainly give you plenty to write
home about! This totally unique and dynamic cheap Edinburgh hostel inhabits a
19th century church in the West End of Edinburgh that has been ingeniously
transformed to provide you with somewhere really reasonable to sleep! You can
stay in a shared dormitory with shared bathroom that holds 4-8 people and be
surrounded by stained glass windows. There are private rooms here too but these
get snapped up really fast!

You can buy cheap drinks here or use the dart board, pool table, large screen TV and juke box. Head to the chill out room with DVD player and large screen TV to relax.

Here you should stop off at the Georgian House in beautiful Charlotte Square, before heading off to shop on Princes Street or going on to Old Town to explore Edinburgh Castle.

Belford Backpackers Hostel Reviews
Based on 2 Hotel ReviewsWe were excited to book a 4-person room in a church. But what Belford fails to tell you is that all rooms share a ceiling in the church. You may be separated by cubicle walls, but you are still part of a large open room. This means that you can hear all other guests come and go, yell, snore, slam doors etc. throughout the night. If noise doesn't bother you, this is a great location. But if noise DOES bother you, book elsewhere because you might not be getting much sleep.
Belford is a quirky hostel about 15/20 minutes walk from the centre of Edinburgh city. It's a converted church and the stained glass windows and stone staircases add to the experience of staying there. It's cheap and cheerful, all the staff were friendly and helpful and the communal area was comfortable and open until late with a pool table and dart board as well as a TV room. The actual sleeping area is basic, with bunk beds and thin walls dividing each room. The rooms are, however, perfectly comfortable, equipped with a power point, mirror, bin and heater. Overall, our experience of Belford was very pleasant, and I would definitely stay there again next time I visit Edinburgh on a budget.
