Hostels Edinburgh

Most backpackers hostels in Edinburgh are close to the city centre thanks to it being one of the most compact cities in Europe. The city is divided into the Old Town and New Town, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage Site, and each of which has its own unique character.

Located in the beating heart of the Old Town, Kick Ass hostels provide an ideal base for exploring the city. Situated at either end of the Grassmarket square, both Kick Ass Grassmarket and Kick Ass Greyfriars afford spectacular views of Edinburgh Castle.

A pod at CoDE sets you back around 30-40 per night and while there are some hostels in Edinburgh that offer cheaper accommodation, I think CoDE is perfect for (female) solo travellers for many reasons:

To take advantage of these great offers, or simply to book a room directly with the hostel to get the best prices, make sure to book online or email the hostel at reservations@smartcityhostels.com. Most importantly, if you find a cheaper price elsewhere online make sure to email the hostel who will match this price to make sure you get the best deal!

Ladies do you feel more comfortable in an all female dorm, or are you ok in a mixed dorm? I've gotten advice that I should try to stay in a hostel with a bar, because that will make it a lot easier to socialize and meet people. But I have found that those hostels only have mixed dorms available. Thoughts? Does anyone have any hostel recommendations in Dublin or Edinburgh?

It has seemed to me, as I traveled around, that a lot of hostels were run, if not owned, by people who enjoy traveling themselves. People who understand the needs and desires of backpackers and students trying to see the world. Now, though, it feels like the people who are running hostels are looking at them as a low investment/high return business model with little thought to the day to day operations or the actual needs of their clients.

In Edinburgh, you can expect quite a few fancy and modern hostels. Pretty much all of them have the option of dorms or private rooms. Some of them even offer freebies, which is ideal for budget backpackers.

Not all hostels are created equally. Each property will specialize in different things. Some offer the lowest prices, others offer the coolest experience. The trick is identifying your specific needs when visiting Edinburgh so you can book your hostel quickly and confidently.

In general, most hostels can be found near the city center, in the heart and soul of all the cool attractions like The Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. To find the best hostels in Edinburgh, check out these neighborhoods:

There are actually two Kick Ass hostels in Edinburgh. Kick Ass Greyfriars teams with sister hostel Kick Ass Grassmarket to offer guests free event nights in the bar every night of the week and free city walking tours too.

Haystack Hostel is one of the best-located hostels in Edinburgh, you can find it just a 5-minute walk from The Old Town. Admittedly, the dorm rooms are quite cozy. But, the free breakfast, free WiFi, and brand new chill-out room are what make Haystack Hostel a highly recommended hostel in Edinburgh.
