A&O is the biggest privately-owned hostel brand in Europe and they have expanded by opening their first hostel in the UK this month.

The Hostel is located in Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh. It's the perfect location for tourists and students wanting to take a city break and make the most of a staycation this year, particularly those on a budget.

CEO and founder Oliver Winter said: "Edinburgh is the perfect location for our launch into the UK and we are delighted with the new hostel as it aligns our a&o promise of affordable stays in central locations. Despite recent challenges brought on by the pandemic, we are confident that travel will return and this is a huge milestone for us as a brand. In this, our 21st year of operations, we now have properties in 24 cities and nine European countries and have ambitious expansion plans and are looking at multiple locations across the UK and Ireland. We are delighted that we already have bookings at our first UK property and our friendly team are looking forward to many more."
