Royal Mile Backpackers is a SMALL AND COSYcity-centre hostel overlooking Scotland's most famous street, only a few minutes walk from the Castle and handy to just about everything.

Step outside and be at the centre of it all. Guests also enjoy the benefit of access to the lively, bustling High Street Hostel with its wide range of facilities.

The Royal Mile sits in the heart of the Old Town in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. As a UNESCO world heritage city, Edinburgh's beautiful and dramatic skyline has endeared travelers to this magical city for centuries. The cobbled streets of the Old Town lead you past dark gothic buildings - especially atmospheric on a misty evening - leading to the magnificent castle in the centre of Medieval 'Auld Reekie'.
