Our boutique hotel & urban hostel in Edinburgh’s Old Town is set within the former Edinburgh Police Chambers, offering couples a truly unique place to stay — right in the heart of the city, just steps from the Royal Mile and top attractions.
Private Rooms Perfect for Couples’ Getaway
Couples staying with us can choose between two very different, but equally special, private room types. Our Private Cells offer a truly unique experience, allowing you to spend the night in a transformed jail cell, complete with modern comforts and a rich sense of history. For a more romantic and cosy atmosphere, our Signature Rooms are ideal. Located on our top floor, each one is uniquely designed, inspired by fascinating historical characters, and features a luxurious en-suite bathroom.
Start the Day Together Over a Fresh Breakfast
After a comfortable night’s sleep, wander down to John’s Coffee House & Tavern, our welcoming in-house café-bar. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast together with freshly made waffles, pastries, warm breakfast rolls, or traditional Scottish porridge – all perfect for fuelling a day of exploring Edinburgh.
Explore Edinburgh with a Free Walking Tour
At 11:30 am daily, join our free Edinburgh walking tour exclusively for guests. This is a great way for couples to discover the city’s hidden gems, learn about its history, and get insider tips for planning the rest of your romantic weekend in Edinburgh.
A perfect date at The Lost Close
In the evening, we recommend booking a whisky tasting or gin tasting at The Lost Close, our underground events space. This atmospheric venue offers the perfect setting for couples looking to do something unique together. Sip, savour, and learn about Scotland’s most famous drinks while enjoying each other’s company in a truly memorable location.
