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.

Located in the centre of the city, High Street Hostel is just a street away from the famous Royal mile. It is the perfect sanctuary for backpackers, budget travellers, students and fellow world explorers staying during Edinburgh New Year!
Party under the stars at Edinburgh’s biggest street festival

High Street hostel boasts a large communal room. It is bursting at the seams with nick nacks and oddities – including historic knights armour! If the Hogmanay celebrations were not enough, High street hostel also hosts weekly events, such as burger night, movie night, pub crawls and pool tournaments. Each bed also comes equipped with a locker. So valuables will be safe while you are out dancing the night away during the Hogmanay events.
