Amazing artwork, it has to be said. Definitely fun and friendly staff who knew what they were talking about, and the hostel itself a complete warren that was quite fun to explore. TV room pretty cool. Useful to have the use of the kitchen too. Very enjoyable stay.

Really nice place.. Those drawings on the walls creats a nice atmosphere. It is located in the heart of Edinburgh. The only problem was some snoring guys at night, but that is ok! :) I strongly recommend this hostel.

The hostel itself was ok - the location not. Due to the pub beside it was really noisy because of the music (from 21:00 to 3:00). I I knew that, I would have stayed in an other place.

Very cozy hostel, located in a strategic position. The stuff is very kind and helpful and the atmosphere is relaxed and happy. It is quite easy to meet people but also to keep some privacy. The attention to details is remarkable: paintings on the walls, books to read and, last but not least, a good collection of video-tapes available in the tv room ;-) I definitely recommend Princes Street East Backpackers.

the main thing i loved about this hostel is that people couldnt bring back whoever they wanted. i went on a pub crawl, a guy walked me back to my hostel, i quickly went to the toilet while he wasn't allowed past reception (no visitors allowed), and then i went to bed, so i got rid of him without him following my all the way back to the room. yay!

Nice kitchen and toilets are so clean. The only bad thing is that it is noisy in the night, because it locates next to bars.

I loved the eclectic feel of this hostel. There are a lot of people living there long-term, which makes the atmosphere very welcoming.
