With deepest regret we must announce that Caledonian Backpackers has ended it's existence. New owners have moved in and decided to operate the business in a different manner.
This is, of course, quite a disappointment. Many people have over the years enjoyed life changing experiences in this most interesting Edinburgh hostel. It hasn't always been perfect, of course. Indeed, sometimes it was quite the shithole, but when it shined it really shined. Often the home to crazy shenanigans, Caledonian Backpackers can claim birthright to quite a number of marriages, many children, and a few liver cancers.
Fortunately, Edinburgh still retains its place as a spectacular destination and one all people should visit sometime in their lives. Of course, it also has some most spectacularly wonderful hostels. In fact they are getting better all the time. Please use the form below to discover where you will stay in Edinburgh during your travels here.
