We are Edinburgh's original independent hostel! Opening our doors to world travelers as far back as 1985.

Originally our building – Morton House – was the town-house of the Earl of Morton, who briefly ruled Scotland but was later beheaded due to his involvement in the assassination of the lover of Mary Queen of Scots. Since then Edinburgh has moved on a fair bit and so has our building! With wifi, bedside USB sockets, self-catering kitchen, great showers as well as fabulous and friendly social areas we offer ideal budget accommodation set amidst some pretty ancient architecture. 

Even though we are a buzzing place, right in the city center with a wonderful nightlife on our doorstep you can still occasionally see the Earl trudging disapprovingly through the hostel, holding his head in his hands.
