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.

    Eerything was great - a lot of locations to visit, mixture of hills and sea views with many monuments and castles. Different tours to choose from and day trips as well are really good option. The only not so possitive thing were the prices which were more expensive in Edinburgh compared to other cities we have been to and not to forget - haggis - you will either love it or hate it, but def. everyone should try it at least once.

    The tourist trap areas can be full of luggage and busy but there are pretty laneways and shops to be found and this adds a nice vibe, however finding cafes and pubs around newington and the meadows just off the beaten path was even nicer. Strolls along the river path to slightly lesser known Dean village and the galleries was stunning, and hikes up and around Arthur’s seat and the crags is a nice way to spend an afternoon.

    Edinburgh has a lot to offer, from Harry Potter & other series fans to History & Culture of Scotland good Museums. It's becoming to get a little bit too much crowded, mainly around Royal Mile, Castle and other like tours. There are big museums like National Museum of Scotland or Edinburgh Castle and also smaller ones like Writer's Museum or Georgian House. You can walk around the usual shopping, near Princess Street, Train Station and Bus Station but you can wonder around New Town, Dean Village, Stockbridge or Meadows areas with smaller shops and book stores. There are some traditional, not food chain pubs and good restaurants around city centre and Leith.

    Edinburgh is a very vibrant place to be with many wonderful attractions to visit including the many museum and galleries, t he Botanic gardens, the Water of Leith, Calton Hill, Holyrood and Edinburgh Castle. I think you spend a whole week there and still not visit everything that thre is to offer. There are many coffee shops and restaurants including the Mor Bakehouse, Cafe Andaluz , the Vittoria, and Balck Ivy to name a few. Have to include the Meadows and Princes Street Gardens - both perfect for relaxing on a lovely sunny day. Wahtever the weather, there is always something to do in Edinburgh.

    Love Edinburgh, however our visit was because o had to renew my Dutch passport at VFG , Dutch embassy, which took half a day. But was able to visit the National museum, if you like this sort of attractions. It's a massive museum which takes easily 3 hours to walk around in. Lots of shops, restaurants, cocktail bars and typical Scottish attractions. Edinburgh is well worth a visit We ate at Sofias restaurant, Lebanese Street food, it was delicious. Hot and fresh. China Red, okay, but declined in quality since last year. Bombay cafe, very nice Iranian curry .

    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.

    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.

We were able to walk to the Castle, Greyfriar’s Kirkyard (and Bobby), our bus pickup for a day trip to Loch Ness, the Edinburgh Dungeon, shopping, Victoria Street, etc.!

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.
