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.

    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.

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.

    We came from Glasgow by bus stopping in front of the Hotel. Reaching Edinburgh city centre is easy (20 min) with many busses stopping in front of the hotel. Very easy to reach Edinburgh Airport by Bus (15 min) or Taxi for early morning flights Room very nice and comfortable. Pup/Resaurant very good and cheap, with menus includin alcoholic/non alcoholic beverages.
