Royal Mile Backpackers

We're a group of young, energetic and vibrant people working together, living together and making plenty of fun memories while we go along! If you think you'd thrive in that environment, you'll feel right at home. Our hostel has a reputation as a comfortable, safe and relaxed environment for backpackers from all backgrounds. Having only 38 guests each night, we like to include everyone in what we get up to - whether it's a quiet cup of tea in the lounge or a jig down at our favourite weekly Ceilidh (A Scottish dance tradition! Not to be missed while you stay with us). It's a supportive, open and friendly little hostel that you can call home for a while.

Jake keeps the place running as Manager. We look after everyone as a team, whether it's mucking in with the cleaning or helping you get the most out of your time in Scotland. We can help arrange stays at our other hostels across the Highlands! We're travel fanatics with a love for our home country and backpacking across the world (and Jake is always more than happy to bore you to sleep with his party trick of knowing the capital city of every country). Long story short, we make sure everyone who stays with us - guest, volunteer or staff - has a blast, whatever it is they want to do. We'll help keep you safe, comfy and happy :)
