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.

Went for the festival and so it was more expensive than other times but just a wonderful experience. You can easily get around and combine sight seeing with festival events plus loads of shopping - not just tourist shopping. Love, love, love Edinburgh!Guest review byBell - 10.0

We spent all days in Eninburgh visiting Fringe Festival. That was one of the best experiences. We saw 3 performances a day just walking around the sentre. Eating in a selection of Japanese, Korean and Chinese restaurants which were amazing.Guest review byAlinaUnited Kingdom - 10.0

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.Guest review bySusanUnited States - 10.0

I was born and brought up there so love my annual visit. Plenty to do and see although it is getting pricier every year. Excellent public transport links as you can't really drive in the city centre.Guest review byJamesUnited Kingdom - 8.0

if you want to be in the middle of the buzz then this is the place to be we went to the tattoo saw some of the fringe in the street very entertaining taxis you can get at destiny the accommodation is basic but at an affordable price lots of people saying how much the hotels had been charging and was astronomical prices hence why we looked at Destiny along side many others.Guest review bydeniseUnited Kingdom - 8.0
Edinburgh is a beautiful city to visit.
Edinburgh is a beautiful city to visit. Unfortunately, August isn't the best month unless you're a fan of the Fringe Festival. This year, the heatwave brought out the locals as well. Aside from the crowds, it's a magical and intriguing city. Don't forget to visit the Royal Botanic Garden and Arthur's Seat. This last destination requires proper footwear, knowing that it's a somewhat challenging hike and the paths aren't always well-marked or well-maintained. We didn't visit Edinburgh Castle, it was fully booked for the entire month. So, if you want to see it, be sure to book ahead. Lastly, Edinburgh is expensive, both for hotels and for food (which, unfortunately, isn't always of the highest quality despite the price). It should be noted, however, that the price hike may be related to the Fringe Festival.Guest review bySylItaly

- From $341.26 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.8Excellent - What previous guests thought, 5,082 reviewsFantastic 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.Guest review byGuyUnited Kingdom
- From $502.19 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very Good - What previous guests thought, 729 reviewsGreat 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.Guest review byHeidy GoyensNetherlands
- From $397.45 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very Good - What previous guests thought, 451 reviewsWe 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.Guest review byAliyyaUnited Kingdom
