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.

    I loved everything about Edinburgh. First, the people were warm, welcoming and kind. The Scottish accent is so beautiful I felt like people were singing. Both the ancient and modern architecture were stunning. The food was great, and the whole experience was exhilarating.

    Always lots to do in Edinburgh. We stayed a couple of days and visited Edinburgh Castle, Camera Obscura, National Gallery and the Britannia. Ocean terminal is great for a variety of restaurants. A day pass for the tram removes the usual city centre driving and parking hassle. Edinburgh zoo is great and will easily take up a few hours. Great city for families, couples and solo travellers.

    Edinburgh is a great city if you like culture, cuisine and comedy. There's always a lot going on. They've got a million little cafes, bars and restaurants. It's also very historical and worth a visit if you're into castles and period buildings. It is quite expensive, especially to go out at night but most places are worth the expense.

    We had a very helpful and warm welcome at reception, the parking is so convenient too, especially for being in Edinburgh city centre. The hotel was very central too and was a 5 min walk from princes street. The room was a castle view room- it was spotless, had a stunning view, and was very spacious. We also were provided with complimentary slippers and robes. The bar was lovely too with good drink options, we didn’t get a chance to eat in the restaurant but we will the next time. We will certainly be back!

    THE LOCATION IS IN THE MIDDLE OF OLD TOWN, JUST OFF THE ROYAL MILE. RESTAURANTS ARE STEPS AWAY. 24 HOUR STAFF WERE VERY HELPFUL. THE HOTEL HAS A BAR AND YOU CAN ORDER SNACKS LIKE PIZZA. BREAKFAST WAS AMAZING, PROBABLY THE BEST HOTEL BREAKFAST I'VE EVER HAD. THE STAFF HELD MY SUITCASE FOR 5 DAYS WHILE I WENT ON A SIDE TRIP, WHICH WAS SUCH A CONVENIENCE. THE ROOM WAS SMALL BUT NICE. IT WAS A HOT FEW DAYS AND THERE IS AN AIR COOLER BUT NOT AIR CONDITIONER. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY STAY HERE AGAIN.

    The hotel is very centrally located - in the heart of Edinburgh. It was an easy walk to the castle, royal mile, train station, new town, etc. Grass market is a great location surrounded by popular restaurants and pubs. The staff is very welcoming and ensured that our stay is comfortable and safe. They take many measures to ensure cleanliness and hygiene which is very crucial in this new era. Overall - we loved our stay and would highly recommend it.

    Great location between George and rose street in new town. Very close to the tram to get from and to the airport. The walk to old town, the royal mile and Edinburgh Castle was just a short and easy to do. But most of all the staff was very responsive, great to work with and very helpful during our stay.

The room was clean and cosy, had a nice view of the street, and included all of the expected amenities (tea/coffee, TV, hair dryer, toiletries).
