The hostel is just behind St. Giles' Cathedral. It is very much in the center of the Royal Mile and almost everything is just a walking distance. You get your own pod. And a locker so you can be assured that your valuables are safe. They also offer luggage storage services before check-in and after check-out in case you might still want to walk around Edinburgh. The bathrooms are clean.

Everything. Since the very beginning, the atmosphere therein was welcoming and staff really friendly and chill. Even more, I lost one of the key cards for the lockers placed in the reception, and without any issues, they just gave me another one without any extra charge. Special mention to Aaron, great and kind guy. Common areas really friendly. Good beds.

CoDE Co-Living - The LoFT is set on Rose Street North Lane, just a short walk from Princes Street. It offers modern interiors within a red brick-clad period building.

Positives: very social hostel, clean room, comfortable bed, towels provided, pub crawl was super fun, showers and toilets were clean and employees were super kind. Only negative: costs of a private room, but it seems like every private room/accommodation is insanely expensive in Edinburgh. FYI: don’t forget a tenner in cash as a deposit for the key, else you’ll have to give your passport as a deposit which can be a little impractical.

Just 50 metres from Edinburgh’s bustling Princes Street, Haystack Hostel is set in a renovated 18th-century Georgian building.
