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.
You can check in 24 hours a day, come and go as you please, and just have a chat.

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.
The lockers are about 600hx305wx460d mm, so large suitcases might not fit, but they can always go under the bed.

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.

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.
