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.

    Always lots to do in Edinburgh.

    Always lots to do in Edinburgh. We stayed a couple of days and visited Edinburgh Castle, Camera Obscura, National Gallery and the Britannia. Ocean terminal is great for a variety of restaurants. A day pass for the tram removes the usual city centre driving and parking hassle. Edinburgh zoo is great and will easily take up a few hours. Great city for families, couples and solo travellers.

    Edinburgh is a great city if you like culture, cuisine and comedy. There's always a lot going on. They've got a million little cafes, bars and restaurants. It's also very historical and worth a visit if you're into castles and period buildings. It is quite expensive, especially to go out at night but most places are worth the expense.

    Edinburgh is full of life.

    Edinburgh is full of life. Old Town has a fabulously bewitching vibe: underground vaults, cobblestone streets, narrow dark passageways, turrets and spires, and lively cafes and pubs housed in gothic buildings, soaring spires. New Town bustles with a more modern vibe but just as unique and full of Scottish character. It's a very walkable (and in some places hikeable) city, and good public transportation to take you from waterfront to the hills and anywhere in-between. There are many enchanting sights to just outside the city as well. Lastly, The National Museum of Scotland is seriously impressive and well worth a few hours on a rainy day.

    We had a very helpful and warm welcome at reception, the parking is so convenient too, especially for being in Edinburgh city centre. The hotel was very central too and was a 5 min walk from princes street. The room was a castle view room- it was spotless, had a stunning view, and was very spacious. We also were provided with complimentary slippers and robes. The bar was lovely too with good drink options, we didn’t get a chance to eat in the restaurant but we will the next time. We will certainly be back!

    The location is fabulous - it's located on Victoria Street, a colorful street with nice little shops and restaurants and "Old Town" architecture. It is also 2/3 minutes away from the Royal Mile and the Castle. It's really in the heart of old town Edinburgh. The staff were so nice and attentive. We traveled with a baby and they gave her a little unicorn book (that we came to learn is Scotland's national animal). The hotel decor is bold and the room was spacious, comfortable, and again with bold decor.

    This is a lovely quaint hotel. We received a warm welcome on arrival, and recommendations on places to see, and where to eat and drink. The room was clean and cosy, had a nice view of the street, and included all of the expected amenities (tea/coffee, TV, hair dryer, toiletries). The location was a short walk from the city centre and close to a tram stop. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Edinburgh.

The bed is super comfortable (best one we had). The room is well decorated and big enough. And the staff is very friendly and professional. Go the pub next door, you won't be disappointed :) In short: we loved it.
