to get started.

I stayed in a four-bed room and was lucky enough to never have company. There are two bathrooms, the beds are highly comfortable and people are really friendly.

Ivan, Argentina

Comfortable dormitory and very pleasant sitting area.

Jane, United Kingdom

-The kitchen is very well equipped! We stayed for winter holidays and it is perfect for friends to cook together! -Staff were very friendly and helpful. -Very safe hostel where you need your room key to access different floors. -Clean environment and beddings.

Charmaine, Netherlands

The self-catering kitchen was fantastic as we didn’t need to spend too much money on eating out at restaurants. The location was perfect, only 10-20 minutes walk from all the must see places. Very comfortable beds.

Ella, United Kingdom

Nice location, friendly stuff, comfortable bedding

Andrei, Russia

The stuff are all so nice except for one! When I arrived there’s problem of the hot water and their attitude for refunding is good, even recommended other nice accommodation. And the security system make you feel good. There’s big self-serve kitchen downstairs and big dining space.

Wan, Norway

Good location, not as central as I thought it was going to be though. The staff were friendly and helpful. Tram to the airport is only a five minute walk from the hostel. Hostel is quiet, clean and reasonably spacious.

Alene, Ireland

We would like to thank Tim (Timothy) for his excellent customer service. He made sure all our queries/demands were met with satisfaction despite the hostel has unexpected problem with the hot running water we still love our stay! He is very polite and definitely knows what he’s doing. He’s an asset to the hospitality industry. Thank you so much Tim! *Location wise, the property is at the heart of the centre. The “every-must-visit” place in Edinburgh is within walking distance. Choose Central Youth Hostel Edinburgh whenever you visit Edinburgh and it’s all worth it!

Jayson, United Kingdom

It was very quiet and clean. Beds were super confortable. I was in a 4 female dorm at the back of the hostal.

P, Spain

The shared room was perfect for what we needed, had a big wall heater so was super cosy.
