Most necessary items were provided although it would have been nice to have some surface cleaning spray and more washing up liquid and toilet paper. Very nice bathroom and shower, although it took a while for the water pressure to get high enough and the heating was quite fiddly to get to the right temperature.

"I have stayed at this hostel many times but always before with other people-= so it was especially great to have a room to myself - with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The buffet breakfast was good and coffee was too .The last time i stayed the road outside was being converted for the tram lines-but now that the tram runs almost to the door from Waverley station and the airport it is excellent. The room was clean modern and a lot better than the hotel I stayed in for the rest...

Stay in style at one of the city’s luxury hotels as you explore the famous streets and attractions of the Scottish capital.

Like Edinburgh born author Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous novel Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, the iconic centre of Edinburgh has two distinct sides. The difference here being that both the Old and the New Town are absolutely lovely.

Old and New

Containing magnificent buildings like Edinburgh Castle, St Giles Cathedral and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh’s Old Town has preserved much of its medieval street plan, giving it an antique feel.

Often considered a masterpiece of city planning, construction of Edinburgh’s New Town began at the end of the 18th Century. Cultural highlights include the Scottish National Portrait Gallery on Queen Street and the Royal Botanic Gardens on Arboretum Place.

For an unforgettable luxury city break, book yourself a 5 star accommodation in Edinburgh.
