Mercure Edinburgh City - Princes Street Hotel, hotel in Edinburgh

On Princes Street, opposite the Scott Monument and National Gallery, Mercure Edinburgh City - Princes Street Hotel has an excellent location, a friendly atmosphere and views of Edinburgh Castle.

Location was superb. Our room faces the amazing view of Princes street and the castle so we could admire it day and night (which was great considering it rained the whole time we were there). Absolutely central to all in Edinburgh. Few minutes walk to major train stations, restaurants, tourist attractions. Staff was friendly.

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.

    Bad place to eat healthily.

    Bad place to eat healthily. Visibly obese teenagers show that food in education has yet to be introduced. There is no serious bread to be had, only sponge bread that I thought had disappeared in the last century. What is boasted as sour dough bread is a travesty, with sugar added. Sugar is for cakes. Organic vegetarian restaurants are absent. There are only two small organic food stores in this metropole. Public transport gets you almost everywhere, for a modest cap sum. Air quality is poor on account that all buses stil run on diesel. Electric buses for this small city should be mandatory.

    Plenty to do.

    Plenty to do. Alexander McCall Smith’s Scotland Street book locations were the highlight of our stay. Highly recommended is Valvona and Crolla deli and cafe. National Gallery excellent. Scottish Parliament worth a visit. Cote good for food and the Cumberland Bar good too. Wetherspoons good for budget eating and drinking. Walking ok for fit people. Maybe too hilly for some. Princes Street and the Royal mile extremely busy.

    The Voco Edinburgh Haymarket hotel is a short walking distance from the Haymarket Tram and train station. Great location to get to the old Town city center of Edinburgh - within 10-15 min walk assuming you are good at following a map and can find the street names on the buildings. The staff is very friendly. Loved having a managed sit down area for breakfast. Very good selection of breakfast foods - both hot and cold. Loved having all the toiletries in large containers. You don't need to bring your own. Very comfortable room.

The bathroom was a really good size with all the necessary toiletries. The staff was brilliant, very helpful, they kept our luggage both on the day or arrival and departure. The hotel is right in the centre, 1 minute walk to the royal mile. It is a brilliant location if you want to explore Edinburgh city centre. We really enjoyed our stay and we will be going back again.

    very centrally located so that we could walk most places in old town and new town. There is no on site restaurant but that was not an issue for us because there are so many fabulous restaurants and pubs nearby. We also enjoyed exploring the area on foot, so bring comfortable shoes! Edinburgh is a beautiful city to explore and the Princes Street Suites made for a wonderful place to rest at the end of the day.
