Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, our boutique hostel is set within the historic former Police Chambers — giving you a stay full of character and convenience.
capsule Dorms
Privacy, Comfort & Safety
Our capsule-style dorms in Edinburgh are designed with solo travellers in mind. Each capsule features a blackout curtain for privacy, USB sockets, an LED reading light, hooks, and a shelf for your essentials. Premium mattresses and linen ensure you get a great night’s sleep, while quiet time in dorms from 10pm means you can rest undisturbed.
Safety is a priority – every capsule comes with a digital locker (no padlocks needed) and our secure key code entry system ensures only guests can access the building and your room. We also offer female-only dorms for those who prefer an extra level of privacy and peace of mind.
Daily Free and Social Events
Travelling solo doesn’t mean being alone. We organise free daily events to help you meet fellow travellers, share stories, and explore Edinburgh together. Enjoy our daily beer sampling in partnership with Bellfield Brewery, or join us for live music at the bar every Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
We also host paint & sip evenings, trivia nights, Taste of Scotland evenings, and craft nights – perfect for trying local food and drink while making friends from around the world. If you’re looking for a night out, our Thursday pub crawls are a great way to experience the city’s nightlife with new travel mates.
Work, Cook & Connect
Coming soon
For digital nomads in Edinburgh and business travellers, we’re adding even more reasons to stay. A dedicated co-working space and communal kitchen are currently under refurbishment and will be opening soon — making it easier than ever to work remotely, prepare your own meals, and connect with other like-minded travellers.
Whether you’re here to work, explore, or simply enjoy the adventure of travelling solo, The Court offers the perfect base. With our mix of privacy, safety, and social events, you’ll leave with great memories, and maybe a few lifelong friends.
