Property Description
**If you are booking for more then 5 people you need to contact us directly before making the booking.**
A big thank you to our guests for recognising us as the number 1 Hostel in Scotland 2008 and 2009.
Step outside our front door and the world famous EDINBURGH CASTLE looms above!!! - stay with us in our palatial hostel for a true Edinburgh experience. Inside, our hostel offers tremendous views over the city from our bright, sunny, rooms. We also offer the best facilities, everything from WI-FI internet to a movie room! A delightful garden-patio to a traditional coal fire for those winter nights! And plenty plenty more. …. being at the very heart of the city we are just a stroll from the bus, train and airport bus and though we are in a relatively quiet street (so you can get a good night's sleep), the city's wonderful late late night-life is just around the corner –ideal!
Built in 1846 and turned into a backpackers in 1997, rather than going the way of some of being a modern sterile hostile, we have packed this grand old edifice full of art, character and antiquity. We think you will love it. Some people say it is more an art gallery or museum than a hostel, but it's fundamentally a place to put your feet up and relax in comfort, or join in the fun with fellow travellers.
Our receptionists will always give you a friendly welcome and can help with any questions about what to see in Edinburgh or about travel around Scotland. We aim to look after you totally so you can have the best holiday possible. Here's a list of more that we offer…..
Truly superb location under the castle ramparts and a great view of Hogwarts school from the common room.

johncussen9548 from Ireland stayed here on 14th July 2010 Nice clean hostel. There was a storage locker with a safe inside it to store you valuables beside your bed. There was a big games room with free pool and a big TV room. Great view of Edinburgh Castle from my room. The Hostel is like living in a castle which is cool. Its open 24 hours which is cool and very near the Royal Mile. More or less in centre of city. Worth a stay. | Male
