Edinburgh Hostel

Edinburgh's events calendar is positively bursting, with something to do in every month of the year, from music gigs to high street sales, Hogmanay and, of course, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. One way to really keep the costs low and spend your budget on attending Edinburgh events is to stay in an Edinburgh hostel.

You can find hostels in Edinburgh in pretty much every part of the city and its surrounding areas, meaning you can pick Edinburgh accommodation near the event you most want to see.

Hostel in Edinburgh

During the Hogmanay celebrations, the whole city comes out to party, but it is Princes Street that is the heart and soul of New Year's Eve. This televised event welcomes huge crowds, so book an Edinburgh hostel close to Princes Street so you can easily reach your bed at the end of it all. The City Centre Hostel Edinburgh (5/3 West Register Street, Central Edinburgh) is one such Edinburgh hostel with unbelievably cheap bed rates considering how central it is!

Located equally close to Princes Street is the Caledonian Backpackers (3 Queensferry Street, West End), a great value hostel in Edinburgh that attracts travellers from all over the world. With no curfew, this Edinburgh hostel is perfect for late night revellers!

Another huge event in Edinburgh's calendar is the fringe festival and many gigs, plays and acts are based in the Old Town, where you can find an abundance of cheap Edinburgh hostels. For example, the Smart City Hostel (50 Blackfriars Street, Old Town) is a large accommodation in Edinburgh which offers single sex rooms for solo travellers, with special catered-for girls dormitories complete with hair straighteners! What's more, this hostel in Edinburgh is just moments away from the Edinburgh Festival Theatre.

Also held during August is the Edinburgh Tattoo, which shows of Edinburgh Castle in all its glory. You can't get any closer to this landmark than the Castle Rock Hostel (15 Johnston Terrace, Old Town), which is perfect if you have tickets to the military event. Booking a bed at this accommodation in Edinburgh will also put you in a great location for reaching some of the Edinburgh attractions open all year round.

So whatever Edinburgh event you are heading to, book great low cost beds at an Edinburgh hostel.
