Scotland’s Funkiest Church. Set in a 19th century converted church and centrally located in the beautiful Georgian West End of Edinburgh. An idyllic place to stay when visiting the Scottish capital.

One of the original hostels in Edinburgh, the Belford Backpackers Hostel is a unique and lively converted church with gothic vibes, offering quality budget accommodation for backpackers and students. Always a favourite for returning guests, the hostel is centrally located in Edinburgh's West End near the ancient and beautiful Dean Village and Water of Leith. And only a short walk to Princes Street and the Old Town to explore Edinburgh’s many attractions and energetic nightlife.

The hostel features a resident’s bar, the entrance to which is adorned with a humorous Braveheart caricature and the patriotic starting verse to the Scottish national Anthem. Decked with sports memorabilia from all corners of the world, it’s a great place to enjoy a drink and meet fellow travellers.

We have all you will need to enjoy your stay, and are located only a few minutes from the lively New Town, and close to transport links such as Haymarket Train Station and the Airport shuttle bus.
