Budget: Hostels & Homestays

Smart City Hostels Edinburgh 8 Bed Dorm

Budget offerings include Hostels in central locations and homestays (Airbnb and the like), generally a little further out.

Hostels

Edinburgh has around 45 hostels – accommodation with shared bedrooms – and most are of a good standard, with shared kitchens, common rooms and free wifi the norm too.

Many also boast great locations in prime sightseeing areas of city, but their greatest strength is, as ever, as a sociable place to meet and trade tips with other travelers.

A couple of good options include Edinburgh Central, a large Hostelling International place near the top of Leith Walk and the more sociable and offbeat Belford Hostel in a converted church an easy walk from the New Town.
