Happy Easter to everyone, we hope you enjoy some family and friend time (even if through Zoom). We hope to reopen fairly soon and haven't just sit back and wait. We have designed and downgrade our sleeping capacity from 48 to 26!! We want to improve your experience with us by offering more for what you pay: a comfortable, clean and safe space for everyone visiting Edinburgh. We can't wait to see your faces, even if through a mask. A sneak peak of our new rooms hope you like it, no wonder you will notice quite a difference from our past rooms. ; ;

To our very valued guests & friends,

As a non-essential business we continue to be temporarily closed to ensure we play no part in the further spread of Covid-19.

People are at the heart of our business and we are committed to them, whether that is our guest, colleagues, suppliers or friends.

Until we have further information the Haystack Hostel remains closed.

Throughout this difficult period we would ask you to make any enquiries via [email protected] which will be monitored and responded to as soon as is possible.

We hope to be able to welcome you back to the Haystack Hostel as soon as possible.

And by the way, the castle is still standing.

Stay safe.

Edinburgh Friends,

We are temporarily closing the hostel due to the impact of COVID-19. While no one could have predicted the impact this global situation would have on all of us, we are beyond proud of the kindness and resilience shown from our community, our staff and our guests.

A big thank you for supporting us by amending your booking rather than cancelling. This is vital to our business.

We cannot wait to bring our unique hostel to you once again, but for now that may just have to be from home. Please continue to follow us, support us and reach out to us [email protected]

Although times are currently tough, the future is bright!
