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.

    Edinburgh is just AMAZING!

    Edinburgh is just AMAZING! One of the most beautiful cities I have ever been. It is just great! I cannot even name everything ... old town, new town, castle, museums, parks, beach, pubs, ... I loved everything, except Leith. That is ugly and boring. Save your time and do something else. I can recommend Cramond beach and the River Almond Walkway, especially if you need a break from the city and like nature. Lauristan castle is also nearby. You can explore Edinburgh walking or by bus. The bus network is good and very easy to use.

    On my visit in May 2024, by car, traffic congestion seemed to have increased since my previous visits. Extra journey time may need to factored in for reaching your destination in or around the city. Once there, walking instead of driving made things easier in some respects, and it remains a beautiful place to be.

    Newly renovated, nicely furnished, friendly guest house. Ian and David were welcoming, available, and helpful, with excellent tips and pointers on Edinburgh in general and the local area in particular. Breakfast was very good ("Lorne sausage" is an acquired taste, but it was not compulsory). The fresh bread at breakfast (baked in-house by Ian) is a lovely touch! Location is decent for access to the Old Town, with a very pleasant 15-20 minute walk to the Royal Mile. The regular buses cut that time in half.

    This is a very safe and beautiful location across from a major park in Edinburgh. One of the big advantages you get with his hotel is the knowledge of the host. He has outstanding recommendations and will help you in anyway possible. I was particularly pleased that he switched my room after checking in. This is one of the better value hotels I have been joyed and my trip to Ireland and Scotland. The rooms are a bit small but Everything else is truly delightful.

    Pretty much perfect location as it’s in the middle of new town and old town , and right infront of the rail station. It also has a shortcut path to take you directly from the hotel to the Royal mile in about 20 seconds lol. It was perfect, you really can’t get a better location. Also they had so many amenities like an espresso machine and the fluffiest sheets ever. I was extremely happy and comfortable here. If I return to Edinburgh I will only stay here.

For those who prefer taxis we noted a steady stream arriving/departing with other guests.
