Alternative Accommodation

Edinburgh is a massive draw for visitors throughout the year and the demand for accommodation is reflected in higher hotel rates. There are, of course, other hotels in central Edinburgh that might be cheaper than those offered through the Congress. You may wish to use the internet to shop around. A good place to start would be the Visit Scotland - Edinburgh & Lothian website, which also has information on hostels, serviced apartments, B&Bs etc. Other lower cost options include:

Premier Inn 
The Premier Inn is located near EICC on Morrison Street.  If you wish to book accommodation at the Premier Inn please visit www.preminn.com

Hostels
A number of hostels are located in central Edinburgh to cater for budget travellers. These have a range of facilities and accommodation types including 'dorm' rooms containing several single beds and also twin, double and family rooms. Many of the separate rooms have en-suite facilities. You can find Edinburgh hostels through either the Visit Scotland website or dedicated websites.

Guest Houses / Bed & Breakfast
Edinburgh has a large number of B&Bs and some may be found within walking distance of the EICC. For more information, please go to www.edinburgh.org/accom/bed-and-breakfast/. B&B rates are likely to be similar to those charged for University accommodation.
