| Location:
Argyle Backpackers is situated in Marchmont,
conveniently close to bus routes, university
and slightly south of the city centre - just
past the Meadows. It is a 10 minute bus trip
(80 pence) or a pleasant 20 minute walk...
Bus:
To get to Argyle Backpackers from Waverley
Station on Princes Street, catch a number 40,
41 or 41A bus from the mound. Ask the bus driver
to stop at Warrender Park Road (80p bus fare
- you need the correct change as none is given).
The hostel is on Argyle Place which is just
off Warrender Park Road, opposite the Argyle
pub. It's about a 10 minute bus trip.
 Walking:
Alternatively, you can walk up the Mound and
follow the street it leads on to (George IV
Bridge) and then take the right fork in the
road. At the 'T' intersection, cross the road
and take the path straight ahead (for pedestrians
& cyclists only) through the Meadows (a large
park in the middle of Edinburgh) until you reach
Melville Drive. Cross this road and follow the
street Argyle Place which is straight ahead.
Argyle Backpackers is at the top of the road
on the left, opposite the Argyle pub. It's about
a 20 minutes walk.
