Discover Edinburgh at the city's original Backpackers Hostel

Such a special place, anyone looking to explore Edinburgh should apply here! The rota system is the best of any hostel I've volunteered at; you're able to pick shifts at any time of day which allows you to be very flexible and only 14 hours a week. The staff and other volunteers are so welcoming, with the large volunteer group size creating a very social atmosphere. The hostel generally is super sick and volunteering gives you access to the other sister hostels in Edinburgh. Very cool city too, great proximity to nature and a city with everything you need but without the intensity! <3

The hostel was my first volunteering experience and I am for sure coming back! I fell in love with Edinburgh and felt truly at home there and all thanks to the amazing atmosphere created by the people in the hostel. The workload is really good and even though the tasks are sometimes demanding you learn quickly. Sharing breakfast is such a highlight in the day and there are other activities organised by everyone. I felt most welcome and a great sense of community alla round me. Thank you for having me!

This has been awesome!! I do not want to leave. I will miss the family dinners and the evening activities :) I recommend this experience to travelers who want to explore the beautiful City of Edinburgh and make wonderful friends. Everyone who like to dance and socialize will have a great time in this Hostel. The work is totally manageable and I felt very appreciative when I completed my tasks. Everyone was super kind and I felt very safe living here. I can not express how thankful I am that this was my first experience traveling alone and I will be coming back!

I'm having a great experience at the hostel! The team is very welcoming, always doing group activities like family potlucks and there's a lot of fun events throughout the week! The hostel is well maintained and you even get premade curtains on your bunk! Shifts are very fair, never difficult and pretty much never take longer than the time allotted. Management is friendly and helpful. I'll always remember going to Arthur's Seat with everyone and seeing the Northern Lights!

I loved my experience at the hostel. All the staff Lilly, Callan, Gabriela (Patrona) and Will are very nice and feels like a big family. I have been volunteering for a while and I don't want this memory to end. Everyone was so careful and caring. Is hard to find genuine people who really take time to hear and enjoy their time with you. For the people who want to apply for this one I would say expect it to be real and be keen to commit for the tasks that need to be done. the hostel is a beautiful family. Will never forget It all!! 😊 ❤️

I had a great time at the hostel :) you get to choose your own schedule after your first week there; every week they host events (movie night, pub crawl, pool, trivia, arts & crafts, dancing etc) and there's always something to do in the city whether you like hiking, drinking, shopping, walking, swimming, etc. i had loads of free time to do what i want & i hung out with a lot of travelers from around the world :) i would go back again

I stayed at the hostel for about a month, and loved it. The Hostel was very clean and workers and volunteers really cared for the building to stay welcoming and accessible to everyone. Everyone is so welcoming and social, the hostel has a family atmosphere and dynamic. After a long day in the center of Edinburgh, it was nice to go to the launge and play card games or watch a movie with everyone! I will definitely come back

I had the best time at HSH! Everyone is really friendly and welcoming. The work is also very easy, it's usually 2h a day so you have a lot of free time to visit Edinburgh. I can only recommend volunteering there. Already looking forward to be back
