Our palatial hostel offers wonderful character, with a mix of grandeur and a backpacker vibe! OVER 18's ONLY - NO CHILDREN ALLOWED HOGMANAY - ALL GUESTS BOOKED IN WITH US OVER HOGMANAY RECEIVE A FREE STREET PARTY TICKET UPON ARRIVAL Enjoy being in Edinburgh's best location \u0026 being at the very heart of the city. We are just a stroll from the bus, train and the airport bus and a 1 minute walk from Edinburgh Castle, 1 minute from the Royal Mile \u0026 1 minute from the Grassmarket. We are in a relatively quiet street but the city's wonderful, late night-life is also just around the corner - ideal! Built in 1846 and turned into a backpackers hostel in 1997, we have packed this grand old building full of art, character and antiquity. Some people say it is more an art gallery or museum than a hostel. We think you will love it with our bright, sunny and spacious rooms and great facilities like FREE Wi-Fi, a movie room, a delightful patio and a fire place for those cold winter nights as well as plenty of room to kick back and relax or join in the fun with other travelers. Our receptionists will always give you a friendly welcome and can help with any questions about what to see in Edinburgh or about travel around Scotland. We aim to look after you totally so you can have the best holiday possible. Here's a list of more that we offer... Truly superb location under the castle ramparts Open 24 hours every day of the year Bed-side lockers in all rooms 24 hour Safe for total security. Vibrant atmosphere with a choice of lounges Pick up point for a Free city walking tour Big lounge with Jukebox, pool table, piano, free tea \u0026 coffee Luggage storage Free hair dryers ART everywhere! Big screen movie lounge with both Scottish and mainstream movies Internet lounge with Wi-Fi Posh lounge with piano and fire place Hot and powerful showers Unisex bathrooms (with locked cubicles) Large self-catering kitchen Breakfast for only £1.50 Laundry service £4.00 Clean bed linen (with properly fitted sheets) MacBackpackers tours pick-up point Sunny and cheery patio No hidden charges No Stag or hen parties Minutes from the bus and train Fabulous views over the city Scottish owned - backpacker run We also have two other hostels in the Old Town of Edinburgh; the small \u0026 vibrant Royal Mile Backpackers and the historic High Street Hostel, Edinburgh's original independent hostel! Go green and carbon neutral; Fifteen years ago we bought a 75+ hectare woodland that absorbs more than the total CO2 emissions from fuel used in our hostel and also the other properties in our small MacBackpackers hostel and bus company chain. We also try our best to re-cycle everything (with your help) and our electricity is all sourced from renewable, non-nuclear supplies. Stay with us for a great holiday and minimal environmental impact! Just a few reminders; Please note if you are booking for 5 people or more people you need to contact us directly before making the booking Be aware that if you book for a group your reservation will be cancelled and you will lose the 12% deposit. If guests are under the age of 18 you must contact the hostel first for the manager's approval. We do not have a lift as we are in a heritage building and all our rooms are either up or downstairs! If you do not show up on the arrival date of your booking you will be charged the first night and the rest of your booking will be cancelled.","@language":"en"}],"amenityFeature":[{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Baggage storage","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Laundry service","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Lounge","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Printer","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Pool Table","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Hairdryers","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Adaptors","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Movie Room","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Free Wi-fi","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Self-Catering Kitchen","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Patio","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Security Lockers","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"BBQ","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Book Exchange","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Towels for Hire","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Free Hot Drinks","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Bedside sockets","@language":"en"}]},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","value":true,"name":[{"@value":"Bedside Reading Lights","@language":"en"}]}],"containsPlace":[{"@type":"HotelRoom","@id":"https://macbackpackers.cloudbeds-stage.com/reservation/4TYHDm?rid=112014","identifier":"112014","name":[{"@value":"10 Bed Mixed Dormitory","@language":"en"}],"description":[{"@value":"Bunk bed style dormitory.
