Just a 5-minute walk from the historic Royal Mile, and within half a mile of Princes Street, this lively budget hotel is in Edinburgh’s Old Town. It is home to The Three Sisters, a well-known pub that hosts frequent entertainment and events. Dating back to 1621, the Central Hotel retains many original features and is accessed by an old cobbled courtyard. Its rooms each have a flat-screen TV and on-demand movies, along with tea and coffee-making facilities. The breakfast room and the restaurant retain their charming old stone ceilings. A buffet breakfast is served each morning. Guests can relax outside the hotel, where there is a huge outdoor plasma screen and heated seating areas. Within a mile’s walking distance are Holyroodhouse Palace, Festival Theatre and the National Museum. Princes Street Gardens and Edinburgh Castle can be reached in 10 minutes on foot.
