Smart City Hostels Edinburgh is one of a new breed of hostel, an entirely new concept, designed with the urban traveller in mind. Our formula is five-star hostel accommodation, facilities and service at value-for-money prices. We offer luxury, safety, contemporary facilities and atmosphere, right in the centre of town, in the entertainment and tourist district.

We're proving popular with independent travellers and with groups, a destination resort, equipped with ensuite bedrooms, Internet access, free  WiFi, Wii Rock Star, pool table, a great bar and cafe and five-star staff.

The guys behind Smart City Hostels know a thing or two about looking after customers in hostels and hotels.  Starboard Hotels (www.starboardhotels.co.uk) manage our 5 star, 132 room hostel, which is an exciting addition to their growing portfolio, which includes Holiday Inn Express and Days Inn. With our young management team in Edinburgh, we make up an experienced team that knows what backpackers, flashpackers, travellers and groups look for. They've gone to great lengths to ensure Smart City Hostel Edinburgh blends new facilities and buildings with the city's Old Town, to guarantee we fit in right from the start. Hostelling has evolved - we're the new generation.

Our Edinburgh hostel works closely with the University of Edinburgh - during term-time we accommodate 80 of their students. More proof, if any were needed, that we meet the quality standards of the uni's accommodation department.
