Rooms & Facilities

Safestay Edinburgh hostel is ideally located just off of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, in the heart of Old Town. This really is the perfect location for seeing Edinburgh’s historic attractions during the day and just a stone’s throw away from the coolest nightlife in the hip Cowgate area. Edinburgh is famous for its beautiful architecture, walking out the door onto the cobbled streets you will begin to explore right away. Whether it's twalking through the Royle Mile to the Camera Obscura, seeing the Castle, taking a snap of Greyfirars Bobby or exploring the extensive food on offer, you won't want your trip to end! Did you know the city is also famous for the Edinburgh International Festival and the Fringe, being the world's largest annual international arts festival? There are 12 main festivals throughout the seasons.

Very friendly staff and the location of the place is simply perfect!! Only a few minutes away from the city's main attractions and downtown shops and restaurants. The free luggage storage was also extremely convenient since we could go explore the city while waiting for our room to be prepared! Would definitely recommend!!

Super friendly staff. Great common area with pool tables, bar, restaurant. Nice outside area. Clean rooms, nice laundry room with working machines. Close to everything and just down a side street so there are less aThis was my 2nd hostel experience - it was so much better than my last experience in Europe. Location is fantastic, staff are attentive and helpful which is exactly what you need when visiting a city for the first time. Definitely worth the price and you will not be disappointed.Drunk singers at 4am outside your window. Rooms get warm on hot days and could use a fan.
