HSH is so magical, full of people who truly care about making sure it's a nice place to be; who inspire you to be your best self and take pride in your contributions to the hostel!! The organization is amazing, managers communicate great with volunteers, and I always felt comfortable asking questions! Became my home, and was the hardest goodbye! So lucky to have the chance to be a part of something so amazing, and I am eternally grateful for this experience. If you are so lucky to have the opportunity to be here, I can't recommend it enough, you will meet wonderful people! Much Love Lydia

For my first experience as a voulonteer I'm lucky to found this beautiful hostel. the hostel is well located in the heart of the city of Edimburgh. Evryone in the team is very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Work is easy with clear instruction and the possibility to choose hours is very good to program your time. People are beautiful and the atmosphere is familiar, thanks also to the many activities for voulonteers and guest. Chose this hostel will be for sure a great decision. I hope to come back again.

I worked together with around 30 volunteers at this hostel. I made a lot of friends here. Basically, I worked two hours every day . I was in charge of bed making, toilet cleaning, and shower room cleaning. The work is pretty easy, and the management is perfect!! We enjoyed event together, and I really enjoyed talking and spending time with other volunteers in free time.

This was my first time working as a volunteer and it was the best experience in my whole life. I've met the most awesome people and already felt at home on the first day. Everyone is suuuper welcoming and friendly and wholesome. The work was very easy and the chosing hours system is great. Working hours were better then I expected and everyone was very helpful and kind. The Management Team is also absolutely amazing and it felt like living in a big great family. I would absolutely recommend this beautiful hostel in the middle of Edinburgh's old town and I hope I can come back soon :)

This was my first time volunteering at a hostel, & I would absolutely do it all again. The management and allocation of each daily task was clear and thorough. All volunteers were happy to help one another with daily jobs as well as learning new tasks. The accommodation is in a prime location in the Old town of Edinburgh. Having the opportunity to participate in weekly hostel events was a great way to make connections with travellers from far and wide. I highly recommend HSH to anyone looking to experience a new pace of travel & to embrace your authentic self.

My experience here was everything I could have asked for when volunteering at a hostel! The work & accommodation were exactly as expected and the other volunteers/staff were so welcoming from the moment I walked in the door. I only wish I could have stayed longer!!

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and I loved every second of it. The staff and other volunteers at the hostel really made me feel like part of the family. the hostel felt truly like a home, it was so cozy and also a lot of fun. The work was good, not too hard and I was left with a lot of time to explore Edinburgh, see other places in Scotland or just stay in and rest. Overall an amazing place to volunteer at :)

The experience was wonderful! With a relaxing atmosphere and great accommodations, it was a pleasure to volunteer at the hostel. There, I had the opportunity to meet guests and volunteers from many countries, which helped me improve my English and social skills. As for the work shifts, scheduling was seamless as it was done online, with a rotating choice system, offering options for various hours. Overall, I do recommend it (:
