Nice Hostel Near in Royal Mile!”

1. Location is perfect! Just 3-5 min walk from Royal Mile. So close to all the Main Tourist Attractions. All 15-20 min walk in Calton Hill, Edinburgh Castle, Arthur's Seat, a lot more. 2.

Probably the best hostel”

I stayed there for three nights and it was a decent experience. Even though I was staying in a 10-people dorm but it's not a crowded room. That means you have a lot of space. The room is tidy and neat, so as to the shared toilet and shower room. The staff at reception was friendly and they kept an eye on who's entering the hostel. A card is given upon arrival and you have to show it every time when going inside. The hostel itself is conveniently located and it's just a walking distance to nearly all attractions in Edinburgh.

Best hostel ever with friendly staff”

Staff are friendly and helpful. They are willing to share with us the attractions nearby. Also, it is an unforgettable experience for staying in a historic building in Edinburgh. Also, it is very cheap and the location is very good that it is near to most attractions. The kitchen is very large that it was not crowded even when there are many people in it. Also, they provide us free coffee, tea and chocolate and necessary cooking equipment. I have met so many nice travellers and we all had a good time here. The common area is nice and cozy that allowed us to chat happily. They also hold different activities to gather travellers making this living experience a memorable one. It is probably one of the best hostels I have ever stayed!

Great!!!”

I spent 3 night here and absolutely would stay again if I visit Edinburgh. Hotel location is really perfect. Its walking distance to Edinburgh castle, calton hill, royal mile. The room is clean and this hostel seems like well organize. Thanks!

Very good location”

The hostel is nearly right on the Royal Mile. It was a very good location, close to various shops and restaurants. Of course, at one end of the Royal Mile is Edinburgh Castle and at the other end is the Palace of the Holyroodhouse. It is walking distance to the bus stops and the Waverley train station.

great location”

Price, Location, Cleanliness and so on, everything was great!!! If I go back to Edinburgh, I will choose this hostel again! :) Thank you!

Great location ”

This hostel is located at the heart of Edinburgh. Very valuable deal if you travel alone or with friends as a backpacker.

Very friendly, central place”

I enjoyed staying at High Street Hostel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the facilities were good, the location is amazing. Rooms were comfortable even if a bit crowded. Bathrooms were clean. I'd stay here again for sure.

One of the best!”

Excellent location, right in the middle of old town. Despite the huge hostel, everything was incredibly clean. Free coffee/hot chocolate/milk/tea in the kitchen and cheap breakfast (fruits, cereal, toast, variety of spreads, juices) for £1.90. Friendly staff, plenty of seating space in the kitchen with plenty of socket. 24/7 reception.

fantastic stay”

relatively strategic location. good facilities -i.e. kitchen is huge to cater for many hostellers, hot chocolate is awesome. got tv for viewing and tables. impressive overall. would consider to stay again during next Edinburgh trip

Close to everywhere ”

HSH located only 6 minutes of walking distance from Waverley. Strolling around here and take yourself to the St.Gile’s Cathedral, Princes Street, Calton Hill, Edinburgh Castle, etc

Excellent”

Enjoyed my stay at high street. It is a relaxed, friendly hostel with a great kitchen/lounge area. Rooms are basic and clean. The location is great, right on the Royal Mile.

Great location, great place to stay.”

We stayed here for the Edinburgh festival and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and helpful and the place was clean throughout. You cannot fault the location as it's just off the royal mile and 5 minutes walk from Waverly station.

Good for backpackers”

This hostel has basically everything you need during travel: -Fast free wifi -breakfast for a fee -clean bathrooms- they even have toilet for Females only -clean bedrooms -laundry room well equipped -good attentive receptionist -comfortable common room to hangout -very near train station -good room security *my advice- just bring your own lock because they dont provide one for the room locker
