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

"Located near both the bus and train stations, this hostel has a fully equipped kitchen and a chill common room with lots of board games. The dorm beds are basic (simple metal bunks with thin mattresses) but include lights, curtains, outlets, and lockers for each bed; it's a small, quiet hostel with an intimate atmosphere where I found it easy to relax and meet people." - Matthew Kepnes
