It’s the second time I stayed on High Street Hostel, and it was even better than the last time, because now the showers are so much better (better than in my house).
9.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Mar 2026
The atmosphere of this hostel is lovely, located just a few metres from the royal mile in the middle of the city centre, the buzz is so so nice and is everytime something going on. Such a nice hostel and really good idea to put names to every room
The smell in the corridors and rooms is not disgusting but could be better

The location is perfect at Royal Mile
They gave us the room on the top floor, I had required room facing Royal mile but they told it is full but it was not.
