Note to guests re: the future Edinburgh Visitor Levy
Relevant for any Bookings for 26th July onwards.
Dear future guests, In case you haven't already heard, we wanted to give you a quick heads-up about a new scheme coming into effect in Edinburgh.
The City of Edinburgh Council has introduced a Visitor Levy (sometimes called a "Tourist Tax"). This means that from 24th July 2026 , all paid overnight stays in Edinburgh will be subject to an extra charge of 5% on top of the accommodation cost.
The levy will only apply to the first 5 nights of any stay.
This fee will be payable to the host directly and not through the Theatre Digs site.
The host will then pass on 100% of this to the City of Edinburgh Council.
We are advised that more details will follow and we will update you as we learn more.
You can read all the details on the City of Edinburgh Council’s website.

Had a lovely stay in Michaela’s home. Great sized room, clean and she was very accommodating with the temperature changes of Spring. So close to the theatre and shops.

Michaela is such a lovely host and the room is spacious, warm and very comfortable. She is quick to reply to messages and so accommodating. Thank you for being so welcoming and sharing your lovely flat with me. I stayed here for nearly a month over the xmas period and would be back again in a heartbeat. 4 minute walk to the theatre, and close to all shops.

I had a lovely stay with Micheala. Opposite Calton hill that has spectacular views. 5 mins max from Playhouse stage door. Really close to wonderful coffee shops, delis, pubs, and choice of food eg street market. Perfect for a weeks stay. Thanks again.

Thank you, Christopher. You’d be welcome back of course - and I hope the rest of the tour goes well.
This is a fabulous digs and would highly recommend. Michaela was very welcoming and the room was clean comfortable and cosy. It was warm even when -7 outside in January. Plenty of space and perfect location for the playhouse theatre. I couldn't fault it. It may be worth noting that it is accessed via stairs.
