'The best value on the Royal Mile' - Lonely Planet 2004. Need we say more...?Well, here's some more then.... ; )Opened in July 2003, Brodies 2 was designed from the outset to be one of the best hostels in Scotland. The resulting conversion is a blend of modern facilities & quality fittings of a modern budget hotel, but with all the welcome, friendliness and atmosphere you'd expect from a Brodies hostel.Rated at Three Stars and perfectly located on Edinburgh's famous & historic Royal Mile, we have a variety of smaller room styles to suit all types of traveller, including small & large dorms and a variety of double, triple & family rooms.What's more our great beds, small size, no-smoking policy, and ban on stag & hen-night groups means you'll most likely get the best night's sleep of any hostel in town. Whether it's for a weekend or a week-long stay Brodies 2 is the perfect choice for maximum enjoyment of your trip to Edinburgh.

Directions

Join High Street/Royal Mile at the North Bridge junction. Turn left and head downhill - after 40m Brodies 2 is the green & orange doorway just by the telephone boxes at no 93.
