500+ reviews from Google MapsFast and troublesome check in and out. The only thing I would recommend would be labeling, somehow, each luggage with its booking number.
Konstantina Alexandri
N Bank StGoogle MapsExcellent option if you're planning to do some sightseeing in the old town and are leaving by train; it's also cheaper than at the station.
Gonzalo Laguna
N Bank StGoogle MapsKind and helpful. Cheap and untouchable
Mada Martinez Garcia
N Bank StGoogle MapsSuper happy to have found this, we dropped off two backpacks and two tote bags for £7.50 for the whole day. Made walking around Edinburgh much more enjoyable. Pretty central location and very easy drop off and pick up experiences. Definitely recommend.

The Vennel ViewpointGoogle MapsFriendly people and a perfect location

The Vennel ViewpointGoogle MapsThis is an early 20th-century building at the SW corner of Grassmarket that is occupied by Kick Ass Hostel and Cafe. They serve as a Bounce Luggage Storage service provider as well, very useful if you want to store bags in the Grassmarket area. Bookings need to be made online, no walk-in service provided. We used them during our recent visit to Edinburgh and everything went very smoothly. Luggage was stored in a safe location, drop-off and pick-up was managed.

Elena De Righi
The Vennel ViewpointGoogle MapsGood and quick service. Hostel is easy to find and very convenient location when you want to visit the Ols Town with the castle.
Anna Kozlowska
Castle RockGoogle MapsWe used castle rock hostel in Edinburgh. They keep your things safe, labelled every bag instead of labelling one in a pile and we’re very welcoming before explaining how it all works.
Breena Williams
Castle RockGoogle MapsGreat location by Edinburgh Castle. Was able to drop luggage off very quick before concert after travelling. Then picked up after concert in 1 min. These new left luggage places are a revelation in convenience and cost compared to the old model at the station, that was shut by the time I got to the station, and certainly would not have been £5. Thanks Bounce and Castle Rock Hostel, my evening was easier because of you
Reuben Carrdus
Castle RockGoogle MapsOpen 24 hours. Great for delayed flights. Great service
Sylvia Berman
Castle RockGoogle MapsI was surprised; it's a hostel right behind the castle, totally central. The guys who helped us were fantastic. It's the first time I've used this luggage storage system, and it exceeded my expectations.

Luggage storage near Edinburgh Castle for day visitors
Recommended for: tourists (day visitors), families, couples.
So you've arrived in Edinburgh with your suitcase and your hotel won't let you check in until 3 pm? Classic. The good news? You don't have to carry everything up that steep cobbled hill to the castle. There are Bounce locations right around the castle area where you can drop your bags and actually enjoy your visit. One option is 24/7 Castle Rock, which has a 4.8 rating from 400+ reviews and is open 24/7. Really handy if you're on an early train. The castle itself has no left luggage facilities inside, so sorting this out beforehand makes a massive difference. You'll want your hands free for photos at the battlements anyway, trust us. Bounce has handled over 11,800 bags in the Edinburgh Castle area. Prices start from £1.95. Much better than wrestling a roller bag up the Royal Mile?
Where to leave your bags before a concert at Edinburgh Castle
Recommended for: event attendees, locals, tourists (day visitors).
Castle concerts are brilliant. That backdrop, the summer evening light, the atmosphere. What's not brilliant? Trying to enjoy it while holding coats, gifts, or whatever else you've accumulated during the day.
If you're heading to an event at the castle, there's a spot called The Vennel Viewpoint nearby. It's open 24/7 and has stored over 6,100 bags already. That's a lot of happy concert goers. The Vennel itself is that wee alley with the iconic castle photo spot, so you'll be right in the thick of things.
With over 1,000 reviews across all Bounce locations near Edinburgh Castle, you're in safe hands. Each booking includes £10,000 protection. Leave the bags, grab your tickets, and enjoy the show without anything weighing you down.
Suitcase storage options between Waverley Station and Edinburgh Castle
Recommended for: commuters and transport users, business travelers, tourists (day visitors).
Waverley Station sits right in the valley between the Old Town and New Town. From there, Edinburgh Castle is maybe a 10 minute walk up the hill. But that walk gets a lot longer when you're dragging a suitcase over cobblestones.
Smart move? Drop your luggage at a Bounce location before you head up. The Vennel Viewpoint is close to the castle and stays open late. It has a 4.7 rating, which is solid.
There are 3 Bounce storage spots near Edinburgh Castle in total. Whether you're connecting to a flight later or just killing time before your train, it beats hauling everything around. The app has a 4.9 rating, so booking takes about 30 seconds. Then you can actually explore properly.
