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.

    Easy to walk around and good public transport system - bus and tram - to get to outlying areas. Fantastic range of shops from well known High Street chains to several Designer stores. Great selection of restaurants catering to all tastes. Lively bars - Dirty Dick's was a particular favourite.

    There was so much history, galleries, culture, beautiful parks and gardens to see, didn’t have enough time to see this beautiful city in the 4 days I spent there, I have read about Edinburgh in some books and have seen in many shows, so would like to return to explore some more.

    I loved my stay in Edinburgh which is an ancient, majestic and exciting city. I had just three days to explore, but could have stayed for weeks. I especially enjoyed my hike up to the summit of Arthur's Seat.

    We stayed in Leith, which was the old port of Edinburgh and is now the home of the Royal Yacht after it was de-commissioned some years ago and you can get there on the tram from Edinburgh which is a very convenient way of getting about or getting to the Airport. Apart from that there is Edinburgh old town with historic old winding streets and the New Town, which was new 200 years ago, and of course Edinburgh Castle. Lots to see and good shows, good food and good pubs.

    We love the architecture and history.

    We love the architecture and history. There is so much to see and do. We were disappointed to see so much graffiti in the city and the streets were not very clean. We could have had a few more days so we could have toured the castle, the palace, and hike Arthur’s Seat. The countryside is absolutely beautiful. We took 4 tours and enjoyed each one.

    Great city for 3-4 days vacation.

    Great city for 3-4 days vacation. You have a feeling that you time traveled into the past. Many nice things too see and buy. And the food is excellent - I recommend Filling Station. Take a train to Glasgow and Stirling if you have enough time.

    The location is perfect when you want to explore the city centre of Edinburgh. The breakfast is a buffet where you can find croissants, muffins, all different types of drinks, eggs, bacon and sausages, to summarize a full breakfast. They do vegetarian options as well. The staff was very helpful. If you drive to the hotel, there is a parking nearby. There was a daily discount offered by the hotel. I definitely recommend staying at the Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Royal Mile Hotel.

    Stunning hotel with great leisure facilities and swimming pool, set amidst beautiful parkland and a golf course. The staff are extremely helpful and welcoming. Breakfast and dinner were of a very high standard. Access to central Edinburgh was very straightforward, via the park and ride car park a few miles from the hotel. Great value for money, compared to city centre hotels.

    Lovely hotel with great service from attentive and friendly staff. Perfect location for visiting edinburgh. Tram right next to hotel. Surrounding restaurants and bars are wonderful. Quiet relaxed environment. Perfect after the vibrance of the city centre. Have enjoyed many city breaks to Edinburgh. And the Malmaison is now our favourite spot For all the right reasons.

    There are several room options. We choose one with a private bathroom. It's small but has everything to sleep and shower and has free parking outside making it relatively cheap for the city. There's good bus links right outside and it takes about 20-30 mins to most city centre locations. It's best for people looking for a stop off point to go out in Edinburgh

    The location for exploring Edinburgh was excellent with good parking. There was a bus stop directly outside the Hotel which was served by several bus numbers that went straight to the city centre. We were so busy we didn't have time to try the hotel swimming pool!
