High Street Hostel Edinburgh
About High Street Hostel
We are Edinburgh’s original independent hostel! Opening our doors to world travellers as far back as 1985.
Originally our building – Morton House – was the town-house of the Earl of Morton, who briefly ruled Scotland but was later beheaded due to his involvement in the assassination of the lover of Mary Queen of Scots. Since then Edinburgh has moved on a fair bit and so has our building! With wifi, bedside USB sockets, self-catering kitchen, great showers as well as fabulous and friendly social areas we offer ideal budget accommodation set amidst some pretty ancient architecture. Even though we are a buzzing place, right in the city centre with a wonderful nightlife on our doorstep you can still occasionally see the Earl trudging disapprovingly through the hostel, holding his head in his hands.
Strictly no stag or hen parties.
You will need photographic ID to sign.
Please note if you are booking for more than 5 people you need to contact us directly before making the booking.
Be aware that if you book for a group without contacting us directly, your reservation will be cancelled and you will lose your 10% deposit.
If guests are under the age of 18 you must contact the hostel first for the manager’s approval.
Our cancellation policy is 48 hours prior to 10:30am on the day of arrival. No-shows will be charged the equivalent of two nights stay.
