Why we measure from Princes Street / Scott Monument

Princes Street / Scott Monument is Vujoa's fixed reference point for Edinburgh. Using one published anchor makes the walking limit consistent: every hotel is measured against the same destination, rather than a vague or changing idea of the city centre.

This is an intentionally small shortlist, not a complete hotel directory. A property appears only when it clears all four gates at the same time. Scores, review totals and availability can change, so the live Booking.com page remains the final source before you book.
