High Street Hostel
We are in the heart of Edinburgh and staying with us is not only an opportunity to experience the city but it is also an experience to be a part of our hostel family.
We are a fresh, new , young team that are very eager to bring a whole new energy to an old and beautiful building.
I am looking for staff that are respectful, easy-going and hard working. We need people who will not only bring a positive vibe to the hostel but also, are able to share their ideas so that we can continue to make this hostel feel even more like a home. See you soon! Selina.

Voluntariar en High Street Hostel fue una experiencia increíble. Desde el primer día te integran como parte de una familia. El staff y los voluntarios son lo mejor, siempre amigables. Los turnos son flexibles (en su mayoría de 11 a 1), así que tienes el resto del día libre para disfrutar Edimburgo o visitar otras ciudades cercanas. Además, todos los días hay actividades: pub crawls, noches de juegos, etc. El ambiente es muy social y te sientes como en casa. ¡Recomendadísimo!
Es para estar más de un mes sin sentir que estás apurado por moverte, incluso buscar algo más a largo plazo

From day one, I felt part of a big and beautiful family. Every single person working here makes you feel welcome from the first moment, and it's impossible not to enjoy together all the activities the hostel has to offer: from movie night, to pool tournament, to pub crawl, etc Shifts are flexible, you get your first week with cleaning shift (2h) per day, and after the first week you can choose the shifts you like the most. Tasks are also quite clear and easy to get done.
Special thanks to Gabs, Fraser and ALL the other volunteers who made this month so special. Love you all guys 😭

Volunteering at High Street Hostel was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I ended up staying for 5 months, and even that didn’t feel long enough. From the start, I felt at home. The team is full of kind, hilarious, genuinely good people who made every day feel easy and fun. 🥖🥂

HSH is an amazing hostel and I would 100% recommend volunteering here. It is only 14 hours a week which is very little. You have some flexibility to pick other shifts to get days off, the most common shift is the 11-1 housekeeping shift. This gives you plenty of time to explore Edinburgh and it’s surrounding areas. The hostel has events 6 nights of the week. There is a big number of volunteers, with a friendly and chill atmosphere, so you can get involved in the events as much or as little as you want. I loved my time here and it’s why I extended to 2 months - hard to say goodbye!
