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.

    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.

    There is plenty to do and a very wide choice of places to eat. I would definitely recommend planing your visit and checking the opening times for the sites as some close at 3:30. The buses are a great way to get around but make sure you note the bus number and company. An all day pass is the best idea

    Great room and bathroom. Kevin showed us great hospitality and even moved his car to let us park in front of the hotel. Breakfast had a wide range of choices and all tasty. Good location in Edinburgh, walkable towards the city centre and in a calm neighborhood. Really friendly and a grand room.

    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!
