Haystack Hostel  

In the heart of Edinburgh's New Town, steps from Princes Street and under 150 m from Edinburgh Waverley Station. Minutes from St. Giles' Cathedral, Princes Street Gardens and Edinburgh Playhouse, and a short walk to Calton Hill and Edinburgh Castle.

Set in a renovated 18th‑century Georgian building, this small, central hostel mixes bright, spacious dorms and private rooms with comfy sprung mattresses and memory‑foam beds. Rooms include international power sockets and shared bathrooms with Mira power showers. A large communal kitchen and dining area keeps the vibe social and practical.

24‑hour reception and free Wi‑Fi (wired and wireless) keep you connected. A fully equipped communal kitchen features full kitchenware and two integrated ovens; there's also luggage storage, an arcade/game room and optional area shuttle services for extra convenience. Wake up to city‑buzz mornings with shops, bars and restaurants right outside.

Complimentary high‑speed wired internet, a computer station and a 24‑hour front desk make short work trips easy.

A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily, and the communal kitchen has refrigerators and microwaves for DIY meals. Several nearby pubs and eateries make sampling local Scottish flavors effortless.
