Customer review

11 September 2009

Liked: Alicia Murphy's (I hope I remember her name) murals. The hostel would have been great because of them, except that just about everything else conspires against the warm fuzzy feeling you get about the place because of them. The place is centrally located, but so are most other hostels, including one much nicer below this one. The price was good but nothing much was included and for the same price you could be staying at a nicer place.

Liked: If I went to Edinburgh, I'd definitely choose this hostel again. I mean the location and the stuff is great, the cleanliness is also good. There wasn't anything I could miss in a hostel and I've met many interesting people. What else could you possibly want for that value?

28 June 2009

Liked: 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.

Lucia Stefano

25 June 2009 Lucia would recommend this property

Liked: 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.

21 June 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: 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!
