The other three Travelodge hotels in central Edinburgh are all converted from smaller older style buildings, again these offer great city centre locations but they do lack any on-site parking and on-site restaurant facility meaning you can choose a lighter take-away breakfast-to-go box option and the dining choices will be limited. This will not be a problem for most guests as there is an abundance of fine eateries on the doorstep of each hotel.
Central Edinburgh has two distinct parts, divided by Princes Street, which runs roughly east-west under the shadow of Castle Rock. The Old Town, although only about a mile long and 300 yards wide, represents the total extent of the twin areas of Edinburgh and Canongate for the first 650 years of their existence, and its general appearance and character remain authentically medieval with its tortuous alleys and tightly packed alleyways. This area contains the majority of the city's most famous tourist sights - including the Castle and the Royal Mile.
To the north of Princes Street, the New Town, itself well over 200 years old, stands in total contrast to the Old Town with a symmetrical layout, the streets are broad and straight, and most of the buildings are Neoclassical in design. Originally intended to be residential, today the New Town is the bustling hub of the city's professional, commercial and business life, dominated by shops, banks and offices.
