They're like to be sold out, or, as you've mentioned, selling packages only. What I'd suggest is calling hostels directly, rather than looking online - as they often have other offers that don't apply to their online availability. You could also skip the hostel thing entirely on this occasion and try to find a guest house somewhere nearby. It will still mean premium rates, but might work out better than a package deal. Some possible sites to get alternative accommodations options: http://www.edinburgh.org/ http://www.itchyedinburgh.co.uk/ Good luck! Hey Melissa
