The Spotlight on Edinburgh Central Accommodation

Modern, budget-friendly base in the heart of Edinburgh

Edinburgh Central Accommodation offers a stylish yet affordable 5-star experience just half a mile from Princes Street and Edinburgh Waverley Station. With a recently refurbished lounge, licensed café/bar, and easy access to top nightlife spots, it's a fantastic pick for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re within walking distance of iconic venues and Edinburgh’s buzzing nightlife, from Cowgate to George Street. The hotel’s central location means you can stroll back after a late show without needing a taxi. Inside, the vibe is relaxed and welcoming—perfect for winding down after a high-energy night. While check-in starts at 16:00, the late-night café/bar lets you keep the night going just a little longer.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends will love the mix of private rooms and social spaces.
Solo travelers chasing that dream gig can enjoy a safe, central location.
Couples can turn a concert night into a full-on Edinburgh weekend.
Fans seeking quiet recovery will appreciate the warm, low-key atmosphere.
Budget-conscious fans can stretch their stay with access to a shared kitchen.

Food and Drink Options

The on-site licensed café/bar is open late, serving snacks and drinks until the early hours—ideal for post-concert cravings. There’s also a full restaurant offering cooked or continental breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Prefer a midnight snack? The shared kitchen lets you whip something up anytime. Plus, dozens of eateries are just a short walk away.

Nightlife Options

With Cowgate and George Street nightlife less than a mile away, you’ve got countless bars, clubs, and live music venues at your fingertips. Back at the hotel, the refurbished café/bar is a chill spot to sip a local craft beer and swap setlist highlights with fellow fans.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms and the friendly, helpful staff. The location gets high marks for being close to everything but still quiet enough for a restful night. Many mention the value for money, especially with food and drink options available on-site.

Areas for Improvement

Check-in time at 16:00 can feel a bit late if you’re arriving early to explore. Also, non-members of Hostelling Scotland pay a small nightly supplement—worth noting when budgeting, but not a deal-breaker.

The Bottom Line

Edinburgh Central Accommodation is a smart, social, and central choice for music lovers looking to stay close to the city’s buzzing concert and nightlife scene.

Fine stay for one/two nights

Liked: Staying at Edinburgh Central Accommodation is nice for one or two nights. The room was very large but also very basic: just two beds, a bathroom with a separate toilet and a closet. This accommodation is also fine location-wise: you are next to the tramstop to and from the airport, and there is a busstop 3 mins away that goes all the way to the old centrum of Edinburgh (if you're not able or comfortable with walking +- 20 mins uphill). Was also nice that we could store our luggage the day of our departure without any additional fees!
Disliked: The room was moderately clean. Our bedsheets had some weird, dark stains on it. The shower was also very harsh, almost felt like you were standing underneath a pressure washer.

Fair

Liked: The main entrance was very modern
Disliked: As you walk in the reception looked modern and lovely design, but the horror unfolded when we walked to our rooms, there was human Feces in the bathroom totally disgusting, sockets hanging off walls , rubbish on the floor. Felt so uncomfortable being there, bed was so uncomfortable
