The Spotlight on KM Central

Central, Comfortable & Steps from the Action

Modern and smartly appointed, KM Central is a relaxed hotel right in the cultural heart of Edinburgh's historic Old Town. Just a short walk from major transport hubs like Waverley Station and iconic venues including Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile, this hotel blends convenience with comfort. Rooms come equipped with premium mattresses, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary tea and coffee—ideal for recharging after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

KM Central puts you within walking distance of some of Edinburgh’s most popular theatres and live music venues, so you can skip the late-night taxi drama. The central location means you're never far from the post-show buzz—or your bed. Plus, with a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there’s enough flexibility to sleep in after a late gig. Despite being close to the action, guests often note how peaceful and quiet the hotel feels once inside.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for walkable nightlife and shared experiences
  • Solo travelers catching a dream gig and needing a safe, central base
  • Couples turning a concert into a weekend escape
  • Fans who prefer quiet downtime after a high-energy show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value without compromise

Food and Drink Options

  • A full Scottish breakfast is served—perfect after a late night out
  • Walkable access to cafes, pubs, and restaurants in Old Town and Newington
  • Plenty of late-night dining options nearby

Nightlife Options

  • Minutes from Edinburgh’s top theatres, pubs, and live music spots
  • Bars and lounges in the Old Town offer everything from whisky tastings to indie gigs
  • The hotel’s location makes it easy to bar-hop or find late-night bites

What People Say

Guests rave about the excellent location, consistently noting how easy it is to reach major attractions and venues on foot. The friendly staff, spotlessly clean rooms, and comfy beds also get frequent praise. Many reviews highlight the hotel’s value for money and how it’s a quiet retreat just steps from bustling streets.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site bar or full restaurant service beyond breakfast, its proximity to local options more than makes up for it. Some guests have mentioned that the rooms are compact—but most agree they’re well-designed and very clean.

The Bottom Line

KM Central is a smart, central, and affordable choice for concert-goers who want to be close to the music without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

Superb

Liked: Very good location (quiet, but walking distance from the main attractions); cozy, clean rooms; friendly, helpful staff (they gave us a room with a nice city view on the 4th floor); good soundproofing of the rooms; mini-bar products available at the 24/7 reception (also, a few complimentary sweets in the room).
Disliked: The window curtain in our room was broken and the light woke us very early in the morning (~6 AM). Also, no elevator - though, this is clearly mentioned in the hotel’s description.

Edinburgh stay

Liked: overall great location and very modern room.
Disliked: The rooms had no ventilation. With a fan got from front desk it was still very hot with no air in the room. If the window was open the outside noise was too loud as headboard was beside the window. But overall great location and very modern room.
