Property Description

WOW!!!...it's all too easy...STAY AT EDINBURGH?S MOST FANTASTIC LOCATION ? RIGHT BESIDE THE CASTLE!!!
Step outside and the world famous fortress looms above! Our hostel offers tremendous views for miles in all directions, with palatial rooms, the best facilities and especially a WONDERFULL VIBE?..And being at the very heart of the city we are just a stroll too from the bus, train and airport bus. And though we are in a relatively quiet street - so you can get a good night's sleep - the city's wonderful late late night-life is just around the corner - IDEAL!

As well as the best in location and facilities in our sunny south facing hostel that sits high above the city we seek to offer something virtually unique for your holiday?. rather than going the way of being a modern sterile or crass hostile, we have stuffed our already architecturally grand edifice full of art, character and antiquity. We think you will love it.

We also have a delightful patio-garden, outdoor smoking area, special big screen movie lounge with Scottish and mainstream movies........ FREE wireless internet , FREE walking tour of the Old Town, self-catering kitchen and plenty more to make your stay the best - too much to list here.

Stay with us and experience some true quality in Edinburgh at this totally enviable hostel.
