Stay In Edinburgh For Only £5 Per Night: The Smart City Hostel Sale

Accommodation in the UK isn’t always the easiest on one’s budget.

But there’s a sale on now that will give even the most budget-bound backpackers an excuse to spend some extended time in Edinburgh, Scotland’s atmospheric capital:

Edinburgh’s Smart City Hostels is giving away 500 beds between now and 31st March 2008 for the unprecedented price of £5 per person per night.

That’s around a third of what you’d normally pay, so if you can find yourself a few nights in a row, you could stay three times as long!

And, if that wasn’t enough of an incentive already – Edinburgh Smart City is a 5-star hostel which means sparklingly clean rooms and all the amenities (when we were there back in August this year, we were so impressed we wrote an impromptu review).

This special rate applies to mid-week nights only, and is open until the 31st of December 2007. We doubt that it applies to the Hogmanay period, but you could always give it a try.
