The Scotsman Hotel, hotel in Edinburgh

Overlooking Edinburgh Castle and Waverley Station, the 4-star Scotsman Hotel was originally built in 1905. This majestic, listed building was once The Scotsman newspaper.

The staff was exceptional from the start. We were celebrating our honeymoon and they went above and beyond to make it such a memorable stay. Every staff member we met was friendly, helpful and went out of their way to do anything they could during our stay. The hotel is gorgeous and perfectly located to all that we wanted to be close to. The bed was so comfortable, the room was large and had everything we needed and then some. When we return to Scotland we will without a doubt be staying at The Scotsman again.

I did not have breakfast at the hotel. They did accommodate me with an early check-in though. I was very grateful for that considering I flew from USA on a long layover and connecting flight.

Hampton By Hilton Edinburgh West End, hotel in Edinburgh

Located within a 5-minute walk of EICC and a 12-minute walk of Edinburgh Castle, Hampton By Hilton Edinburgh West End in Edinburgh features a fitness center and rooms with free WiFi.

I like this place because the first time I came to check-in in this property BEFORE the staff were really friendly and exceptional. And you can really feel that there’s no discrimination nor racism (BUT THAT WAS BEFORE NOT IN MY RECENT VISIT). Also, the room is really clean and no extra smell BEFORE. These are the reason why I went back with my family for a holiday.

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.

    Beautiful!

    Beautiful! Full of character, history and lots of fun activities for all ages. Huge selection of restaurants and bars. Locals are extremely friendly and help with direction. Uber is a great and quick way to get around the city as taxis can be a bit pricy if its just for one person. However taxi drivers are really friendly and will tell you lots of funny stories, give great recommendations and help as much as they can.

    Our trip had been promised to ourselves for a while, and as independent travellers Edinburgh didn't disappoint. The pubs, and restaurants we visited all made us feel welcome. The visitor attractions are well presented and all seem there just for you, nothing is too much trouble. Despite it being a city it's doesn't overwhelm you.

    Everything you want is easy to get to via tram or train or walk. If you're creative or a writer, it's inspirational. Bustling all the time; felt safe. There are great bookstores, and go eat at The Witchery ($$$$). The coast is visible. There are castles. There are theaters. Pubs galore!

    Bella Italia - Straight across the road on the Royal Mile...

    Bella Italia - Straight across the road on the Royal Mile great PIzza and very friendly staff. Cafe Nero -up the Royal Mile to the left. Great coffee, lovely pastries and cakes, lovely friendly staff. Visitors centre across the road has very happy, helpful staff. Down Cockburn Street, from the Royal Mile, a small cafe with blue and white chairs outside does the most amazing vegetarian breakfast and more... and the coffee is great too. Next door ( or next door but one.... can't remember, sorry) is a small cafe that has the most amazing cakes in the window. They are delicious. My friends and I would recommend the carrot cake, the millionaire's shortbread and the apple and almond cake. Yummy!! The National Gallery is magical. The monuments, the buildings and the architecture is truly wonderful. Don't just look around you....... look up too!!

    We stayed as a family for a mini break and are glad we chose this hotel. It's busy one with different facilities but even though our room was front facing on level 1, there were no disturbances at all. The rooms were clean and the decor is modern. In particular we loved the pool! So much so that we went 3 times in as many days. Great location as it was only 15 mins in an Uber to the city centre. We will definitely return if we are staying in Edinburgh again.

    Clean hotel, everyone was friendly and welcoming. The bed was big and comfortable and the room was a decent size. A breakfast is available for £13 per person and it is definitely worth it to pay for it. The hotel is located outside of Edinburgh but just a few minutes walk away is a bus stop with buses running every other minute into the city centre.
