Getting Around
Edinburgh International Airport is situated 7 miles west of the city center at Turnhouse. An Airlink shuttle bus runs to Waverley Bridge in the town center. By train you’ll arrive at the mainline Waverley Station, right in the heart of the center. The main bus terminal is on St. Andrew Square just a few minutes’ walk north from Waverley Station.

| St. Christophers | Justifiably popular, this loud and lively hostel is a former three-star hotel that’s now a good-value hostel serving cheap drinks in a great central location. |
| Rothesay | A simple Victorian terrace in a peaceful Georgian street in Edinburgh’s West End, 10-minutes from Princes Street. Plenty of old-world charm. |
| Jury's Inn | Providing a welcome contrast with the old, timeworn buildings of Edinburgh’s center, Jury’s Inn is a modern place with its own pub in Edinburgh’s old town, just two minutes on foot from the Royal Mile. |
