Edinburgh Old TownGoogle MapsGreat price, location, and drop off/pick up was easy. We left two 30L bags here for a day at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Mathias Schlösser
Edinburgh Old TownGoogle MapsIt was a smooth experience for drop and pick up. but only thing was there are nearly 3 stories of stairs to climb from waverly to the shop. So while navigating, kindly choose option as no stairs, its just 3-4 minutes longer, but way more convenient than climbing steps with luggage.

Cowgate AreaGoogle MapsAmazing service by the team! The hotel staff were so friendly and helpful!! The only downside was the construction and the uphill battle but that is not within anyone's control. When we go back to edinburgh for longer, Im going to book with them for both luggage storage and hotel! Thank you once again team!

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.
