The Hostel

Hey everybody, let me tell you about this place a bit.

This hostel has been open for a few years already, but unfortunately, a period of poor management led to a downturn in reviews. We are building a new team with the goal of reinventing this place. We aim to create a friendly atmosphere, to offer a clean and comfortable stay for all guests as well as to offer them advice on how to have the best experience possible when they visit Edinburgh. We need people who are ready to accept this challenge and help us out!

PS: For us, diversity and inclusion are extremely important, be it equality, gender, sexual orientation, race, or nationality. We take this into consideration in our volunteering.

The Hostel Manager: Hello, we are Stephanie & Micaelyn. Depending on when you arrive in the year, you will be dealing with one of us or both of us. We both started out as as volunteers in The Hostel and during our time here, we have done a bit of everything and so know every aspect of the job. We have both worked in a variety of industries and jobs and have learnt from all of them. We believe in continued growth and learning. We know that every experience and individual brings their own special element to the table. We have always believed in working and living with integrity as well as leaving both a place and its people better than you found them. Always driven to improve. The Hostel management and team are looking for hardworking and enthusiastic people to join our magical team. Together, we can continue to create an incredible and special environment and experience for all.

This was my very first experience and it exceeded all my expectations. I came to learn English, and today I can confidently say I do. What was meant to be a one-month stay turned into six unforgettable months, thanks to the wonderful environment, meaningful connections, and many opportunities for growth. The tasks were not difficult, you just need to do them carefully. From beach outings to museum visits, walks, and local events, every moment was full of discovery and joy. A heartfelt thank you to Mica and Stéphanie, the managers, for their kindness and support throughout this amazing journey.

I’ve immensely enjoyed my first volunteering experience at the Hostel, and now I’m afraid it has set the bar too high.
Before arriving, I wasn’t sure I’d feel comfortable in such an unusual setup, but I got immersed in life there very quickly by meeting other volunteers during our shifts and joining their fun activities.
Everyone was welcoming and happy to explain everything to me. Sharing a room wasn’t a problem either, as the bed curtains offered privacy. The work itself wasn’t too demanding, and even the physically tougher parts were fun because we got to do them together as a team.

This was my first hostel stay and my first time volunteering at a hostel, and it set the bar very high. The team was welcoming, supportive, and kind from the very beginning. This applied not only to the volunteers but also to the guests. I truly enjoyed my time at The Hostel and have yet to find another place that compares.

The work schedule was posted in advance so you always knew your shifts and days off. This made it easy to plan your time effectively. If you needed to switch shifts, it was possible, which added flexibility throughout your stay.

Amazing experience! I enjoyed every part of my time at The Hostel. The work is not hard at all and every member of the staff is always willing to teach you and help you with any task. The schedule is clear and flexible. But the best part is the team, every person I met at The Hostel made me feel welcome and part of the family. Special thank you for Stephanie the manager, who ceaselessly works to make the hostel a better place for everyone. Thanks a lot!
