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.

    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

    Beautiful city to explore on foot, unusual mix of architecture & natural wonders for good weather, castle/palace/galleries too. Spoilt for choice to eat & drink, loads to see further out with easy bus/tram system

    So much to do and see, surrounded by history and bustling with activity. We loved the restaurants and bars on Rose Street, especially Meze Meze (Mediteranean food, extra friendly staff). We stayed in Haymarket at Grosvenor Gardens, which was very close to the tram directly to and from the airport.) Edinburgh has great public transit all around, use it to get outside of the main tourist areas to take in the rest of this beautiful Scottish city.

    Edinburgh is a beautiful city with marvelous buildings, houses, Parks etc. It has been extremely well maintained. They cherish the past, and go to long lengths to keep it original and in good condition. I expect the attractions are worth a look, but if you go, you MUST book before hand. If you go, you must also prepare yourself for Tourist, Tourists and more Tourists, they (We) were everywhere, hundreds of thousands of us, everywhere. I walked up hill to see the castle, and when I arrived puffed out, all I could see was People, People and more People. And a sign which read 'SOLD OUT TODAY' This was about Lunch Time. Mind you, there was plenty else to see, and well worth the walk uphill to the castle, so I was a little disappointed, but what else I saw was great. Apart from the Crowds (which is great for the economy and the business owners), the only thing that annoyed me, but it is understandable when you find out why, Is that there are beautiful very old parks which look lovely-from the street-. Only residents can use some of them (there are Locked Gates at certain points with Keys Locks which the residents have keys of course) and to find out why, you'll have to go to Edinburgh to find out (or Google it if you want to cheat).

    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.

    Good - What previous guests thought, 367 reviews
    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!
