For your safety, security and convenience, we have staff on 24 hours a day. They guard the front door, clean the hostel, and help you when you need it.

We use key cards to access your rooms. These are better than normal keys because anyone can copy a normal key. The keycards expire at a certain time, so in the unlikely event that a copy is able to be made, it will only last a short time. You can even keep your keycards as a souvenir. You should always show your card to reception when you walk past, and you will need to use your keycard to enter the hostel after midnight.

In your room you will find lockers which you can use. You will need to supply your own padlock, or you can purchase one from us for £2.50.

When you check out we have a luggage storage cupboard where you can leave your bags for the day while you explore Edinburgh a bit more. (But please do remember everyone who is storing their bags has access, so if you have valuables consider leaving them in the super secure lockers.)

In the bar we have some lockers available where you can charge you phone or laptop securely. There is no cost, but you have to ask the staff to open them for you.

For an extra fee, we have some super security lockers you can use, which even come with insurance.
