Located just one minute from Princes Street Gardens, you’ll have easy access to the city’s main attractions, transport links, and local hotspots. Staying here means you can explore Edinburgh by day and return to a welcoming, social environment at night.
Capsule Dorms
Privacy Meets Social Travel
Our Capsule Dorms are designed for those who love the energy of a shared space but still want their own comfort and privacy. Each caspule comes with a curtain, personal light, power outlet, and storage space, making it perfect for solo travellers who want to rest securely while still being part of a friendly dorm environment. With dorms of 4 or 6 capsules, you’ll meet other travellers without feeling lost in a crowd.
Meet & connect or go solo
Designed as a modern city apartment, it features a double bed, private bathroom, kitchenette, and a flat-screen TV, giving you everything you need for a relaxing stay. Large windows fill the space with natural light, making it feel bright and welcoming throughout the day.
We offer 4 and 6 capsule dorms, giving you flexibility depending on the kind of stay you’re after.
Communal Spaces for Connecting
Travelling solo doesn’t mean being alone. At The Loft, you can spend time in our communal lounge on the ground floor, complete with sofas and a large table – ideal for co-working, planning your trip, or simply chatting with other travellers. Our self-catering kitchen makes it easy to cook your own meals, with an oven, hob, microwave, toaster, coffee, tea, and all the essentials provided. It’s the perfect setup for budget-conscious solo travellers who also want a homely atmosphere.
Join Daily Events at The Court
One of the best things about staying at The Loft as a solo traveller is that you’re always welcome to join the free daily events at our sister hotel, The Court. Just a short walk away, these events include live music, tastings, paint & sip evenings and trivia nights – all designed to bring people together. It’s a fantastic way to meet fellow travellers from around the world, make new friends, and enjoy authentic Edinburgh experiences.
