"A five-star hostel just off the Royal Mile, with 622 beds in twin rooms or dorms. Women-only rooms are available."
"Hostels - the word alone is strong enough to awaken the worst feelings in the world." Full review
8.0
"A good example of a competitive new style of hostel accommodation: less relentlessly wholesome than a traditional rambler’s rest but not a party-animal pit." Full review
Budget
"Part hostel, part residence hall, the budget Safestay Edinburgh is a young, casual property with a party atmosphere." Full review
Top Choice
"A big (620 beds), bright, modern hostel that feels more like a hotel... A huge bar and a central location just off the Royal Mile make this a favourite place to stay for the young, party-mad crowd." Full review

"Classic Georgian townhouse concealing a funky, boutique interior... Luxurious."
"It's an enclave for local thirty- and fortysomething professionals who aren't into the tartan-and-whisky charm of their forebears' haunts and want to party in a cool urban scene."
Upscale
"The Tigerlily is housed in an historic Georgian townhouse, but inside, it's thoroughly modern." Full review
"A glitzy boutique hotel, bar and restaurant that epitomizes the new “gorgeous” George St. A classic Georgian townhouse transformed into a flamboyant design extravaganza."
"The bedrooms are designed to the hilt... this remains one of the best-loved hotels in the city, to say nothing of its visually opulent bar, restaurant or nightclub." Full review
"The 33 rooms and suites ooze sex appeal, seductively outfitted in bright Designers Guild fabrics, bespoke four posters." Full review
8.0
"Tigerlily is all about cocktails and shoes and shopping and partying." Full review
"Edinburgh's hippest boutique hotel, with an award-winning restaurant and a prime George Street location - includes breakfast." Full review
"On hip George Street, this boutique hotel has everything a girl could imagine... for a night away from home."
"Want to party? You’ll likely spot the queues at the chi-chi basement cocktail bar before you realise this is also an extravagantly designed hotel kitted out with plenty of night-out frills"
