Welcome to our hostel

Five star VisitScotland accredited hostel accommodation in the city centre, close to major transport links and ideally positioned for exploring Scotland's capital. Guests can choose from from spacious shared rooms with individual lockers to private and premium rooms. All rooms are en-suite and premium rooms come with a TV, USB plug sockets and coffee making facilities. WiFi is free for all guests and other facilities include a laundry, secure bike store and luggage storage for guests arriving early and wanting to explore the city.

Parking near to Edinburgh Central is possible with on-street Pay & Display spaces in the surrounding area and parking at nearby Greenside Car Park. Please contact the hostel directly for more information.

Reception is open 24 hours and the youth hostel is just ten minutes on foot from Waverley railway station, the bus station and close to York Place tram stop. It’s within walking distance of Edinburgh's main attractions. And, of course, Edinburgh Central Youth Hostel is perfectly positioned for anyone looking for great value accommodation during the Edinburgh Festival and Fringe Festival.

PLEASE NOTE that between mid-November and early February our ground floor is being refurbished. Although the restaurant is involved in this redesign, we can still offer guests a full continental breakfast, but the self-catering kitchen and meeting rooms will be unavailable during this period. There will be no disruption to bedrooms. If you have any questions, or if we can be of any help, please contact us by email on reservations@hostellingscotland.org.uk

A comfortable private room and good value for money. A very responsive staff team.

Room needed a vacuum when I arrived. One of the staff asked if I was satisfied with the room, so I took the opportunity to say no. He immediately arranged for the room to be cleaned.

Der Komfort war durch die Bauarbeiten eingeschränkt, sonst aber gut. Im "grünen Bereich" ist noch Luft nach oben, z.B. beim Verpackungsmüll beim Frühstück, aber die Anstrengungen sind sichtbar.
