The hostel in Edinburgh, is one of the best hostels I've ever volunteered at, I have extended time after time. The people here are warm and welcoming and there's never a second without laughter or the good kind of chaos! I would really recommend this place for travellers. The managers Steph and Mica really take care of there volunteers and the hostel, they're awesome.

Volunteering at the hostel was a great experience! The staff is super nice and the vibe of the place is very relaxed and social. The tasks are easy and quick to do and after that, you have the whole day free to enjoy the city or do your own stuff. The location is perfect as well, close to everything, and I met amazing people from all over the world. It was also a great chance to practice my English and feel more confident speaking. Totally recommend it to anyone looking for a chill and fun volunteer experience in Edinburgh. See you guyssssss ❤️

I really liked the hostel, located in the center of Edinburgh, a small but very lively and touristy city. The location is excellent, close to the bus and train stations, making it very easy to explore the city. The staff and other volunteers are super friendly and always encourage communication, socializing, and learning English. Also, the hostel organizes different activities every week, like games and pub nights, which makes the experience even more fun. I am very grateful and highly recommend this volunteering opportunity to others.
