FAQs about hotels in Edinburgh









A Feast for the Senses

A city of heritage, heart and of course Hogmanay, Scotland’s capital is vibrant and edgy. Whether or not you come for one of its many festivals, Edinburgh is quite simply a feast for the senses.

The wealth of Edinburgh sights ranges from Holyrood Palace to the Botanical Gardens, Princes Street to the Royal Mile. Overseeing them all is majestic Edinburgh Castle. Be there at sunset on a clear day to see the city below bathed in a warm, orange glow. Simply stunning.

Wandering the streets, the smell of fish and chips wafts by, with the unique twist of salt ‘n’ sauce – a must-try variation on this favourite dish. Follow it up with a smooth whisky and you’ll start to feel like a local.

For a taste of Scottish culture, a kilt-wearing busker often plays the bagpipes on Waverley Bridge, while traditional folk music can be heard in some Old Town pubs. Complete your stay with a rugby match at Murrayfield or a round at one of the city’s 14 golf clubs, and you’ll have the true Edinburgh experience.

Whether you are looking for hotels near Edinburgh Airport or accommodations in the city center, Booking.com has a great range to choose from.

    One of my favourite cities in the world.

    One of my favourite cities in the world. I went there as a child regularly, buy hadn't been for a quarter of a century. The historic centre is still wonderful, and walkable. And it's now tbh much nicer than when I was a kid, much cleaner. And has things like trams. It's perfect by train, because the station is slap-bang in the nice bit and is not overwhelmed by volume of miserable passengers like in e.g. Paris or London. And all the really good bits like the castle, Arthurs Seat, Princes St and Scott monument, are all walkable.

    We took a taxi from our hotel to the start of the Golden Mile then walked into the Castle quadrant, There were a great number of visitors at the Castle mostly foreign tourists, we enjoyed being there, however there was a lot of scaffolding and gantries being built and a number of maintenance vehicles parked which rather spoilt the views. Edinburgh is a wonderful city, the atmosphere is brilliant and the Scottish people very friendly

    The location was great, only a few mins drive into the city centre with buses every few mins, including one to and from the airport (only takes 10 mins). The staff were so helpful and friendly and the accommodation was stunning. Everything was so clean and comfortable. When we had a problem, they sorted it straight away and ensured we had the best stay possible. I’ve been to Edinburgh several times in the past and this was the best property I’ve stayed at, hands down! This includes a number of chain hotels.

    The location is fabulous - it's located on Victoria Street, a colorful street with nice little shops and restaurants and "Old Town" architecture. It is also 2/3 minutes away from the Royal Mile and the Castle. It's really in the heart of old town Edinburgh. The staff were so nice and attentive. We traveled with a baby and they gave her a little unicorn book (that we came to learn is Scotland's national animal). The hotel decor is bold and the room was spacious, comfortable, and again with bold decor.
