a&o Edinburgh City - Hostel

On Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile, just minutes from Waverley railway station and the airport link bus stop. Steps from St. Giles' Cathedral, the Museum of Childhood and Real Mary King's Close, with Edinburgh Castle, the National Museum of Scotland and the Festival Theatre all within easy walking distance.

A stylish, city-centre hostel mixing private rooms and larger dorms — many private rooms offer en-suite bathrooms while dorms feature bunk beds, individual lockers and included bed linen. The vibe is social and urban, with a rooftop terrace and a lively bar area. Security is tight: electronic key cards, 24-hour desk/concierge and women-only secure furnishings available on request.

Take in city views from the rooftop terrace and unwind in Bar 50 or the on-site restaurant and café.

Wi‑Fi access and daily housekeeping services keep things easy for world travellers and backpackers.

Express check-in and check-out, a 24-hour front desk and a computer station are on hand. Wireless internet access and a lobby TV help you stay connected between sightseeing or meetings.

An on-site restaurant and Bar 50 serve breakfast, lunch and dinner — buffet breakfasts are available for a fee, while lunch and dinner can be chosen from a set menu or à la carte. You’ll also find a café and snack bar/deli for quick bites and a bar with screens for a lively evening.
