About

JUST SLEEP HOSTEL – Edinburgh’s Quietest Backpackers’ Hostel

Just Sleep is a small, family-run backpackers’ hostel offering a calm, clean and friendly place to stay away from the noise of Edinburgh city centre. We’re based in vibrant Leith – Edinburgh’s most creative and relaxed neighbourhood, full of cafés, waterfront walks and local character.

Our hostel is perfect for travellers who want a quiet, comfortable sleep after a full day exploring the beautiful city of Edinburgh. If you’re looking for loud bars and party nights, this isn’t the place. If you want safety, comfort and a peaceful night’s rest, welcome to Just Sleep.

Why stay in Leith?
City-centre hostels can be noisy, crowded and chaotic. Leith is calmer, safer and more local, with everything you need within minutes. The city centre is only a short journey away.

Just Sleep is ideal for backpackers, solo travellers and groups wanting a peaceful base to explore Edinburgh while enjoying a great night’s sleep.

I received no communication that you must check in at the property by a certain time. I show up at 11 pm, and no one is there. These two French guys open the door and tell me the desk is closed for the night and that they can't let me in. I called customer service. No one picked up. It's Edinburgh on a Saturday so everywhere is booked full. I lost my money on this hostel. I spent the night homeless on the streets of Edinburgh carrying my bags. You're not supposed to treat people like this.

Very small hostel, it is literally just to sleep… Also, the Showers have a lot of black mold. It was an overall okay stay.
