Located on Princes Street, The Balmoral has a 4 AA Rosette restaurant, a pool and a gym. Waverley Station and Edinburgh's main shopping area are within 5 minutes' walk.

This hotel is the best we have ever stayed in. the staff was super nice and helpful, the rooms are beautiful and spacious, it is a magnificent building inside and out and the immaculate spaces make you feel like it’s a dream come true. we also had afternoon tea here which is a must! food was of the best quality one can imagine as well as the service and the live music played by a harp player on a small balcony above the sitting room. The friendliness and professionalism of each and every staff member was very helpful. The room was cleaned and serviced twice a day, bed was so comfy you never want to leave it . We were thankfully given a room with a marvelous view to the old town but make sure to ask for it in advance. Definitely stay at this hotel as it is truly an experience to remember!

Boasting stylish rooms with plasma-screen TVs and wall-sized magnetic maps, this refurbished hotel is 800 metres from Edinburgh Waverley Rail Station and 300 metres from the Royal Mile.

The staff were absolutely lovely and they couldn't help us enough, we arrived very early before check in and they let us keep our cases in the hotel safe until check in time. The same when we were leaving, our flight wasn't until late in the evening and they kept our cases safe for us after we had checked out. The rooms are very comfortable, there's brilliant storage space for your clothes and they have a safe too.

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.

    The city is a great size for seeing everything on foot.

    The city is a great size for seeing everything on foot. Christmas markets were a great attraction, so many brilliant independent coffee shops and restaurants to visit. Visited solo, and the city felt very safe, always lots people around.

    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!
