Where to Stay in Edinburgh on Your Trip (Updated 2025)

"This laid-back hostel is located in an old townhouse and feels more like staying with a friend than in a hostel — everything is cozy and homey. It's on a quiet residential street about a 10–15-minute walk from the Old Town; I appreciated the kitchen for cooking, the relaxing backyard space to hang out and meet other travelers, and the super lovely staff who really make you feel at home." - Matthew Kepnes
