  • It was easy to find the place, it's near Waverley station. I booked the backpack as a small bag and had to pay a difference on the spot, as the backpack is considered the same as hand luggage. But everything worked out fine, the bags were safely stored.

  • The suitcase was delivered quickly after the procedure through the app. I suggest that the partner locations that store the suitcases have their complete addresses on the app. When I picked up the suitcase, it was quick and in perfect condition.

  • Easy process and our luggage was safely stored! However, the store was closed when we arrived to drop our bags, when it’s supposed to be open 24/7. The store clerk came back a few minutes later and he probably just went to buy a snack but it would have been nice to have a sign on the door that said “back in 5 minutes” instead of the “open” sign with a locked door. It stressed us out a bit because we had to leave for a tour not too long after.

  • Booking was very easy, the guy at the shop was very friendly and they took great care of my luggage. The place is located near the Royal Mile and is open 24 hours; I left mine from 8 am to 10 pm. I highly recommend it.

Get the most out of your time in Royal Mile

Luggage storage near Edinburgh Castle for a hands free visit

Recommended for: tourists, event attendees.

Right, so you're heading up to the Castle and wondering what to do with your bags. Here's the thing: Edinburgh Castle doesn't have cloakroom or left luggage facilities, so any suitcases or backpacks have to stay with you the whole time. Not ideal when you're climbing those cobbled streets and trying to squeeze through the Crown Jewels queue. There are Bounce locations just minutes from the Castle entrance. The Royal Mile spot opens early and has a 4.7 rating with 360+ reviews. It's right along the main drag, so you can drop your stuff and walk straight up to the esplanade. Another option is Edinburgh Old Town, which is open 24/7 and has stored over 5,400 bags. The Castle itself takes at least two hours to see properly. More if you want to catch the One O'Clock Gun. Trust me, you don't want to be lugging a suitcase up those Lang Stairs. Storage starts from £1.95 per bag, and each booking includes £10,000 protection.

Where to store bags around Waverley Station in Edinburgh

Recommended for: commuters, business travelers, tourists.

Waverley Station sits in a valley right below the Old Town. You step off your train and there's the Castle looming above you. Quite a sight. But if you've got a meeting in an hour or want to squeeze in some sightseeing before your next connection, dragging luggage around these hills is no fun. Bounce has 5 storage spots in the Royal Mile area, just a short walk from the station. The South Bridge location is one of the busiest, with over 12,700 bags stored and 1,000+ reviews. It opens early and stays open late, which works well if your train comes in at odd hours. The walk from Waverley up to the Royal Mile takes about five minutes. You'll head up Cockburn Street or through the shopping centre. Once your bags are sorted, you're free to explore St Giles' Cathedral, pop into a meeting, or just grab a coffee without wrestling your suitcase through narrow closes. With 2,200+ reviews across all Royal Mile locations, plenty of folk have sorted their storage this way.

Bag storage options near Edinburgh Fringe venues

Recommended for: event attendees, tourists, digital nomads, locals.

August in Edinburgh is mental. Thousands of shows, street performers everywhere, and crowds packing every close and courtyard. If you're catching shows at the Pleasance, Assembly Rooms, or any of the 300+ Fringe venues scattered around town, you really don't want to be carrying bags. The Cowgate storage location is really convenient for Fringe goers. It's got a 4.8 rating and sits right in the heart of venue territory. The Free Sisters, various comedy clubs, and plenty of pop-up spaces are all within stumbling distance. It opens late, too, which matters when you're hopping between shows until midnight. Over 28,200 bags have been stored through Bounce locations along the Royal Mile. Whether you're a local heading out for an evening of shows or visiting from abroad, having somewhere safe to leave your stuff makes the whole festival experience easier. The app has a 4.9 rating, so booking takes about two minutes. More time for shows, less time worrying about where you put your backpack.
