“Edinburgh Backpackers is an excellent stay”
An excellent stay. The hostel is handy to the train station. As for inside the hostel it is a walk up one or two flights of stairs. The kitchen and dining rooms are excellent. All the people I met were excellent. No complaints. The hostel had an excellent WIFI signal.
