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.

    November is not the right time to visit highlands.

    November is not the right time to visit highlands. The weather is cloudy and trees have started shading leaves. But yes you can feel the christmas vibes in the leading streets of edinburgh. Summer is ideal time to visit and soak in the beauty. But the cobbled roads, gothic architecture they surely charms one the moment one steps into the city from Railway station.

    I would recommend the hop on hop off bus tour, it gives you a perfect overview of the sights, and where you might want to spend longer, public transport is fabulous too, it’s quite hilly in places but worth it for the wonderful views, the Christmas market was lovely and the streets and shops were decorated fabulously, there’s plenty of cafes and pubs to enjoy on your travels☺️

    Edinburgh is beautiful, even on a grey day.

    Edinburgh is beautiful, even on a grey day. There are so many places to go, and the public transport is excellent. Get a bus pass (1 day or longer depending on stay) so you can go anywhere, then take your pick. In summer, Leith and Portobello can be a treat; the river walk by the Waters of Leith is delightful; Surgeons Hall museum is gruesome and interesting; go up Calton Hill for the views, down Grassmarket for people-watching, George Street for fancy eating and shops, Rose Street for atmosphere... My favourite eatery was Pomo on Morrison Street (near Haymarket station), but Auld Hundred and the Boozy Cow on Rose Street both provided good pub grub. And there are some excellent gelati around: Mary's Milk Bar and Ciao Roma come to mind. And if you are of small build, can cope with heights and narrow spaces, climb up the Scott Monument!

    Edinburgh is steeped in fascinating history, culture and the arts. Getting around Edinburgh isn't difficult but it's easy to get lost and often Google Maps can lead you astray. It seems to have a tough time understanding the many levels to the city and navigation for the unfamiliar is tricky, or at least we found it to be. If you're looking for history, do a bit of research before booking any tour. Some are just reenactments or fictional demonstrations based on history just for fun and interaction, while others might be more geared to information sharing and research. If you want the latter, as I did, being on a tour with people dressed up like ghouls trying to scare me wasn't appealing at all. I prefer the History of Medicine museum to the Edinburgh dungeon experience for example. Some might like both, but they are very different kinds of experiences.
