Good-value hotel behind Waverley station on Jeffrey Street, near the Royal Mile.
Jurys Inn Edinburgh is a mid-range chain hotel at 43 Jeffrey Street, in the Old Town of Edinburgh, Scotland, just behind Waverley station. The location is one of the best for rail travellers: the station is a few minutes away on foot, and the Royal Mile, with St Giles' Cathedral and the High Street, is a short walk uphill. The Scottish Parliament and Holyrood Palace are about 15 minutes away on foot, and Edinburgh Castle roughly 15 to 20 minutes. Jeffrey Street itself is a quiet link street running along the edge of the Old Town, and the hotel is surrounded by pubs, cafes and the Cowgate nightlife area below, so noise can vary depending on the room. The building is a modern, purpose-built hotel without historic architecture, and the interiors are plain and functional. Room types include Standard Doubles, Twin Rooms, Superior Rooms and Family Rooms, with typical nightly rates of about £80 to £230, which is good value for the central position, particularly outside August. A restaurant and bar serve breakfast and evening meals on site, and free Wi-Fi is provided throughout. The service style is straightforward and consistent, with a focus on value rather than luxury, and rooms are sized to sleep up to three or four people in some configurations, which suits families and small groups. The hotel appeals to budget-conscious visitors who want to be within walking distance of the Royal Mile and who rely on trains or buses for onward travel, as well as to business visitors attending events in the city centre. Visitors arriving late or leaving early benefit from the short walk to Waverley station and the airport tram connection at nearby Princes Street.
