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.

    I love Edinburgh, such an open city.

    I love Edinburgh, such an open city. A combination of old and new with lovely views everywhere. The transport is amazing, it's so easy to get around. Deacon's House is a lovely cafe in old town, and the National Museum is worth a visit. Lovely building. Hanover 71 is another lovely cafe and there's a chain of Scandinavian bakeries worth a visit. The market at Stockbridge on Sundays is lovely on a sunny day. Check out all the Gormleys too.

    One of my favourite cities in the world.

    One of my favourite cities in the world. I went there as a child regularly, buy hadn't been for a quarter of a century. The historic centre is still wonderful, and walkable. And it's now tbh much nicer than when I was a kid, much cleaner. And has things like trams. It's perfect by train, because the station is slap-bang in the nice bit and is not overwhelmed by volume of miserable passengers like in e.g. Paris or London. And all the really good bits like the castle, Arthurs Seat, Princes St and Scott monument, are all walkable.

    We took a taxi from our hotel to the start of the Golden Mile then walked into the Castle quadrant, There were a great number of visitors at the Castle mostly foreign tourists, we enjoyed being there, however there was a lot of scaffolding and gantries being built and a number of maintenance vehicles parked which rather spoilt the views. Edinburgh is a wonderful city, the atmosphere is brilliant and the Scottish people very friendly

    The view was the best I have ever had from an hotel room, Delicious hot full Scottish breakfast with plenty of toast, brown and white bread. The Manager was polite, obliging,and helpful. Cracked the occasional funny. Thoroughly enjoyable stay. Highly recommended. If there was a downer it was the cost of taxis into Edinburgh approx £18,00 but then parking is virtually impossible. We were lucky to have arrived midway between the Rockville and City Centre to meet a friend and a car just vacated a spot as we pulled up

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.

Our room was elegant and looked out over the park below Edinburgh Castle. Nice to have a mini kitchen. The staff is friendly and helpful. Guido, Alison, and Anna all helped make our stay memorable.
