Decent bed, shower bathroom facilities and continential breakfast and staff were helpful. Price was high for the accommodation though.
Brand new to Summer 2024, Safestay Edinburgh Cowgate will be housed in a beautiful and spacious Grade A listed building, located on one of the oldest thoroughfares in the Scottish capital. Cowgate – literally used as the route for driving cattle to market from as early as the 1490s – is now well known for its lively pub, club, bar, restaurant and cafe scene.
Safestay Edinburgh Cowgate is within walking distance of Edinburgh’s most popular attractions and sites including a 2 minute walk to the Royal Mile and 10 minutes to Edinburgh Castle.
