The windows opened & we loved having some fresh air. Room was good-sized & bed was comfy. Overpriced, but then the dollar /pound rate sucked when we were there. We are not breakfast eaters so can't comment on the dining room. Great location.

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.

    We avoided spending much time in Edinburgh when we learned there was a huge festival going on. We flew in for a nearby walking trip. Once there we could see that it is a beautiful city with lots of history and excellent public transportation. The tram is easy to use. We took a train from Waverly Station and found that simple to do. We spent some time in a park near Princes Street. A lovely city.

    I felt like I barely touched the surface of Edinburgh in my three days here! The city is easy to walk through, and had an excellent tourism infrastructure. It is beautiful because it has all these old buildings but is surrounded by nature and there are lots of parks! I liked waking up Calton hill, which has an excellent view of the city and lovely purple thistles growing on top. There were a lot of free excellent museums and I didn't even get around to visiting them all, including an art gallery with impressionist paintings (The National Gallery). The Royal Mile is where most tourists go, but it is kind of funny because there are a million souviner shops lining the road! If you want to buy something plaid, or a hairy coo stuffie, there is where to go! Mary's Milk Bar makes really good gelato and there is always a super long line up. One of my favorite places to find a gifts to bring back to your family is a shop on candle maker way that sells lovely things designed by local artists! I bought a tea towel with a cute map of Scotland on it there. I could have spent a few more days there, I should go back. Also, I bought a SIM card at the O2 store in the mall.

    Edinburgh is a great city with lots to do, we took a bus tour to Lochness which was such a beautiful place. We stayed for 4 nights which was just enough time to fit in everything we wanted to do. Craigmillar castle was cool would defo recommend. We did the zoo the vaults the museum, illusion place and tour. Great place I really enjoyed it

    The city is a bustling one, lots of people everywhere in the summer months, and driving can be tricky. But the city has a lot to offer, more than one castle within the city, and while Edinburgh Castle is great, it is commercialized and very very crowded. Craigmillar Castle gives you a more authentic experience and is far less crowded. The Royal Mile was worth seeing, and both the Scotch Whisky Experience, and The Real Mary King's Close are definitely worth checking out, just be prepared for lots of people everywhere.

    Fantastic hotel for the money. Second time we have stayed here. Easy access off the bypass and lots of parking although it had doubled to £8 since our last visit. Don’t be put off by the hotels distance from the city centre. There is a tram spot about 100 meters away which takes about 10 minutes to get into the centre of Edinburgh which is excellent. The swimming pool is the perfect size for for a quick dip or if you have small children. Staff are very polite and friendly. Will definitely stay again.

    Great location in the city centre of Edinburgh, so we could walk everywhere. Big parking garage under the shopping center next door (the hotel is actually above the shopping center as well), which is very convenient when you go here by car. The concierge showed us the shortest and easiest way from the hotel to the car park by walking with us, which we thought was great! Comfortable beds and spacious room, overlooking the roof garden and Calton Hill.

    We stayed in a very nice and spacious duplex room with a kitchen. We chose this location because of its proximity to the concert hall O2 Academy. It's an hour's walk from the city centre, but there are no problems with transport. But we discovered non-touristy Edinburgh, full of great and inexpensive pubs and restaurants. The hotel is pet friendly and has a private car park.
