We’re open again but with a few tweeks to the way we do things. So if you’re looking to visit us please read on to see how we’ll be making High Street the cleanest environment possible for our future guests. Book on our website.

As excited as we are to be able to welcome visitors again, we will put safety first. That is why we are strictly following government guidelines. To that end, we have a thorough cleaning regime, regularly wiping all surfaces in the building. We have installed hand sanitiser dispensers on all levels and encourage you to make use of them. Our staff will wear masks during their shifts. We keep windows open as much as possible to allow air circulation.

For the time being, every booking will be assigned to their own room and have their own shower and toilet to use. Unfortunately, access to some of our common areas including the kitchen is currently not possible. We provide a small fridge as well as free tea and coffee in our reception lounge.

We’re working hard to make our home COVID-safe, but we don’t have a definite opening date just yet. Keep checking back for details.

What better way to take in Edinburgh? High Street Hostel has bike storage so you can fly over the cobbled streets and soak up the culture of this wonderful place.

A more traditional backpackers hostel. Expect lively communal rooms and friendly banter. Right in the center of Edinburgh, just a 10 minute walk from Waverley train station. A perfect location for city explorers wanting to see Edinburgh’s many attractions. Perhaps the Scottish National Portrait Gallery takes your fancy, maybe Edinburgh castle or you could just want to go round many of the great eating and drinking spots in the city. Anything is possible. Especially when you stay at a hostel right in the thick of it!… Just make sure to remember your bike lock.
