United Kingdom Edinburgh Globetrotter Inn Edinburgh The Best Hotel Deals

Backpacking in Edinburgh or travelling on a very low budget? Check out the Globetrotter Inn at the south shore of the Firth of Forth, only 15 minutes’ bus ride from the city centre and its attractions. If you’re arriving by train, Globetrotter Inn has a shuttle bus service that can pick you up from Waterloo Place, next to the Waverley Station. If you think that a backpacker’s inn is grubby and dank, think again. The Globetrotter Inn is probably one of the most stylish inns that you can find in Edinburgh. Choose from en-suite bedrooms that can take up to six people or dorm-style for groups of eight. Some rooms have single, twin or double beds, while others have bunks, which are equally comfortable. Each bunk has its own privacy curtain, reading light and a large locker. A well-equipped gym is on-site and a bar with not just live music and pretty good food, but also pool tables, a large screen showing sports programmes, arcade and board games, fruit machines and even a jukebox. There’s also a cool kitchen if you prefer to do your own cooking. And the best part? You don’t have to clean up because the staff will do it for you! If you feel like chilling instead of heading out, why not grab a DVD from the inn’s collection of hundreds and head in to the “cinema” with massive screen, great surround sound and really comfortable loungers?
