Description
Rooms are private, lockable singles or twins in shared self-catering apartments with lounge, kitchen, bathroom etc…. Right in the Heart of Edinburgh!!

Each year, Euro Hostels Ltd lease university accommodation while the students are on their summer vacation. For 2006 we have "the numero uno" prime property on offer!

Kincaids Court is situated 5 - 10 minutes walk from Waverley Station, right on Cowgate and within easy reach of Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Mile and Grassmarket. The location is perfect for anyone visiting Edinburgh, whether in town for the festival, sightseeing, touring Scotland or working over the summer.

The accommodation comprises self contained, fully equipped flats for between 4 and 10 people. All are either twin or single bedded, sharing ample bathroom facilities (wc, whb, bath and shower) and have the use of a communal lounge and kitchen with sink, electric stove, oven and fridge freezer. It's an ideal set up whether you are in town with a group or travelling on your own.

Self-service laundry facilities are available and washing powder can be bought at reception. In fact, we sell all sorts of necessities at reception, from electricity adaptors and toothpaste to flags and bus tours of Scotland.

All rooms are equipped with telephones that are linked to reception. We also sell special phone cards for external calling.
Breakfast is not included in the room fee but can easily be arranged at a competitive price.

Make your booking as soon as possible as we are sure that this season will be the best yet. We look forward to welcoming you to Euro Hostel Edinburgh Halls in 2006!

5 These guys lease a different university building each year and I think the info on the front page is about last year. This year it is right on the Cowgate, at College Wynd. If anything, it's too close to the action. We had a great stay with these guys. The rooms are all single or twin privates in self-contained flats. It was perfect for us to base ourselves while doing Edinburgh. Literally a 5-minute walk from the Castle.
