Edinburgh's Budget Backpackers is more than anything an awesome location in an awesome city. You don't even have to take one step from the hostel's door to get one of the best views of the famous castle and you can even see it from some common room windows. And being close to the castle by all means involves being close to everything you'd like to see and do in Edinburgh.
The hostel itself is even better than the location. The place is huge, however, so you might have a hard time when checking in and checking out if you get a room upstairs (no lifts, either). The whole place is very stylish, colourful, and with a great atmosphere. Everything is clean, the common rooms are huge, and even have beds for watching the TV or just lying around. The kitchens are very well equipped and even include some free food, and the bathrooms are very private and look as new as they can get. The dorms, however, could be a bit more spacious. If you don't get lucky and your room is full, you might have a hard time coordinating actions not to hit each other when getting out of bed and so on.
The place is very safe -- it's monitored by CCTV, and has a very smart entering protocol that makes it almost impossible for someone from outside to get in. Sometimes it gets stuck, though, when receptionists get too overwhelmed with work. They seem not to be enough to handle it all, so you usually have to wait for a fairly long time if you want anything else besides checking in or out.
