I'm so happy I chose this hostel!! I extended my trip another month because this truly felt like HOME to me. Everyone here became my second family and I'll miss it so much. I had plenty of time to explore the city and have fun after shifts, truly had complete freedom, and loved exploring Edinburgh with hostel friends. The work is simple and the hours are always respected, it does help to already have some housekeeping skills BUT it's also so easy to learn them on the job. The managers are welcoming, attentive, and ready to help and give feedback, especially Sergio who helped me improve a lot.

This was my first opportunity to volunteer abroad, and it didn't disappoint. I planned to stay only a month, but ended up extending for another month because of the location and the hostel, the people, and the enjoyable work environment. Sergio and Merci were both very friendly, organized and promoted a very professional working experience. It is very easy to make friends and meet new people in the hostel and in the city. I hope to come back soon.

My experience at the hostel was AMAZING!! the working hours are respected and work is fair. The people are great and you can meet so many international travellers and immerse yourself in the local ( pub) culture. In Edinburgh there's always something to do and it's the most beautiful city I've ever seen. The hostel vibe is great overall and everyone is so welcoming, I'm definitely coming back🫶🏻

This Hostel was my first experience with Worldpackers and I would recommend it to everyone. I felt so welcomed from day one and everybody tried to make this place a home. I enjoyed my stay a lot and I will return as soon as I am back in Edinburg. The work was was very chilled and it's only a couple of hours everyday. I had a lot of time exploring the city and made great memories which will stay with me!:)
