Est. Feb 2006
We have switched hostels to a more long term hostel, the aptly named Budget Backpackers. Location wise it's still pretty much in the center of town. It turns out that I actually stayed here before when I visited Edinburgh back when I was living and working in London. It's a lot bigger now, split over two buildings. Longterm rooms (us) in the "old" hostel, with a massive building just across the roundabout for the short term dorms.
Our rooms mates are a pair of guys from France that have been here for five months, but by sheer coincidence are planning on moving out in a few days. This means a four bed room for the price of two, which at this place is already super cheap:) So far this place seems pretty chilled out, despite one of our nabiours did what sounded like attepted vacuuming this morning. This lasted for about two mins until there was a scream, the vacuum shut off and then about five minutes of coughing.
The weather has been a lot better then we were lead to believe as well. Despite my Gradparents prediction of freezing to our backpacks after thirty seconds exposed to the Scottish air, the first day was really sunny, if a little cold. A few hours of drizzle in the days since, but other then that, pretty mild really.
Oh ya, we are right down the street from one of the coolest buildings I've ever been in: The Museum of Scotland.

The French guys are gone now, our neighbors accross the hall are kind of strange and have taken over both, the bathroom and kitchen. We use the cleaner ones accross the street. So far it's working out.
