    About The Old Printworks

    The Old Printworks is a quick ten-minute walk from the University of Edinburgh. As the accommodation is centrally located, you have quick, easy access to the historic Old Town as well as Edinburgh Waverley station and Princes Street. If you want to have a relaxed weekend, you can enjoy The Meadows, Holyrood Park, and the quiet areas of Newington and Bruntsfield.

    You can skip your gym membership as there is a free on-site gym. There is a common room with study desks, a TV, and comfortable couches for you to lounge in after a long day. If you are wanting to bask in the sun, you can hang out in the outdoor social space.

    The Old Printworks has a range of studios and en-suite rooms to choose from. If you prefer to have a bathroom and kitchen to yourself, the studio room will be a perfect choice. Alternatively, if you’re looking to stay with flatmates, the en-suite room is the one for you.
