High Street Hostel

About

High Street Hostel sits on a quiet corner just off Edinburgh’s famed Royal Mile, placing you minutes from the iconic Edinburgh Castle, the Old Town and New Town UNESCO sites. This adult‑only hostel welcomes backpackers, students and budget travellers who love meeting people, living the city pulse, and enjoying a relaxed, communal space. With 150 beds across dorms and private twin rooms, rates begin at just £18 for the most affordable dorm option, though a private double will cost £65 per night. Book directly on our cloudbeds booking portal or via our “Book Now” button for instant confirmation. The hostel offers a wealth of amenities that make a stay comfortable and hassle‑free: 24‑hour reception, free WiFi, a self‑catering kitchen, ample lockers, power sockets, hairdryers, and laundry services (available for an additional fee). Guests can bring their own alcohol and enjoy free‑to‑enter common rooms with board games, a pool table, a piano and a patio. Bus, train and airport connections are within walking distance, and there are bike storage facilities for those with bicycles. Beyond the basics, High Street Hostel is known for its lively weekly events – from burger nights, pool tournaments, movie nights, to pub crawls that start after dark. The hostel prides itself on a welcoming, friendly atmosphere, and it continues to run events every day of the week to keep guests entertained and meet new people. Book early during peak seasons to guarantee a bed, but the flexible night‑stay policy allows you to leave your bags free of charge until 9 pm every day, giving you plenty of time to explore the city even after check‑out.
