You know what they say... 'location, location, location'! High Street Hostel is right on the Royal Mile and is a great stay for anyone wanting to be in the centre of Edinburgh. It's big, bold and noisy; don't come here if you want a quiet night of restful sleep. It's fun and relaxed and right across the road from the Haggis Office which is great if you're joining a tour. Highly recommend.
