Edinburgh Backpackers

Since it is a backpacker hotel, the rooms are private but the bathroom is shared. Good •The staff are friendly and will deal with any problems you may have. Even when one of the showers was broken, it was repaired the next day, so it was very helpful. •The bath and toilet are always clean. •There is a shared kitchen, so you can cook and heat up side dishes to save on food costs in Edinburgh, where prices are high. •The location is great, and it is just a short walk from Edinburgh Castle. It is perfect for visiting any tourist spot! •I had an early morning flight on the day I checked out, so I left the hotel around 3am and walked 5-6 minutes to the bus stop, but the street was well-lit and I wasn't afraid to walk alone, so it was easy to spend time there. Not good If I had to point out one drawback, it would be that the walls in the rooms are thin, so footsteps can echo and you can hear the conversation of people in the next room. I was tired and had a deep sleep, so it didn't bother me much after I fell asleep. Also, because it is a backpacker hotel, you need to bring your own amenities. If you forgot shampoo, soap, etc., you could buy them at a nearby supermarket. Highly recommended for people who want to keep costs down while still enjoying sightseeing!
