Best Edinburgh Hotels

"I was quite satisfied with my stay. Although the hotel entrance is small, the room was surprisingly spacious. It even had some basic kitchen facilities, which was handy for simple cooking. My only minor gripe is that one of the room doors wouldn't stay open on its own and needed to be propped – hopefully, this can be improved. We booked a twin room, and it turned out to be two separate rooms, which was excellent for privacy and quiet sleep. It could actually accommodate four people. The only slight drawback was that parking required using a public car park located below the castle, about a 10-15 minute walk away."

"Extremely nice position with affordable prices. Just few minutes walk to the prince street. Also , it’s really easy to remember where the hostel is located without using the google map, just behind the statue of Adam Smith. The staffs are nice, and all is cleaned. The locker is big enough with a table at the top where you can tidy your baggage (don’t forget your belongings put on there). Moreover, the food served is very nice and the live band also. You also have like 10% off on the menu as a guest! Last but not least, just try to join the wts group of the hostel. There are really nice suggestions like site-viewing, restaurant, etc. from other visitors. It really give you lots of nice idea about where to go at Edinburgh if you didn’t plan anything yet."

"For a Holiday Inn in the UK, the room was quite spacious. The hotel offers free parking and is conveniently located with multiple bus routes to the city center right outside. Getting to the city center is super convenient, especially when buying a family ticket. Being situated next to the zoo, it's also very quiet at night."

"The hotel is located in an excellent location where you can reach the scenery points by walking or riding the city light tram. The city light tram will wake you up early in 6am that you have not to set an alarm clock. It is good for people not bringing alarm clock with them. The room is clean and tidy approximately in 13 square meters. Nothing is provided in the room even a bottle pf water is absent. I tried to ask the receiption for a bottle of water and they told me to drink tap water. Also the facilities of the hotel is good for people who wants to keep fit as there is always a single lift working. Tens of guests are queuing in the lobby when a coach bring tourists to check in. I always walk stairs for keep fit in this hotel. The workers in this hotel are very hard working. They will knock your door at 7-8am for cleaning. Thanks to managements who will gather at the corridor coordinating workers to work before people check in at 1500 hrs. The fire alarm is also hard working and sensitive. The fire alarm knows to teach people the dangerous of fire. I had been living 4 nights in this hotel with 3 nights alerted by this fire alarm. Firemen are called by this fire alarm to the hotel for demostration. Thank you very much."

"We had a wonderful 3-night stay at Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh! The location is ideal, within walking distance to key attractions like Calton Hill, Princes Street, and the Royal Mile, yet tucked away just enough to offer a quiet, restful atmosphere. The room was clean, modern, and well-equipped for a comfortable stay. We especially appreciated the comfortable bed and spacious layout, which made it easy to relax after a day of exploring the city. The staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to assist, from smooth check-in to helpful recommendations on places to visit and eat. The overall service was consistent and welcoming throughout our stay."

"Super convenient, close to Waverley station. Walking distance to everywhere. The hotel has a coffee machine which serve the best hot chocolate and coffee 😍 I love their croissant which they bake freshly every morning 🥰 Most importantly, the room is very spacious and staffs are friendly ❤️"

"We are so satisfied with Aparthotel! It is very clean and has everything we need. Especially when you want to stay in the same place for a few days and don't know where to eat, this hotel is equipped with basic cooking ware, rubbish and recycling bins and a dishwasher! Is is also located in between the train station and city centre. When you feel tired you can always go back for a rest before heading out for dinner."

"**Wonderful Stay – Highly Recommend!** From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, close to everything making it easy to explore the area. The breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options each morning. What stood out the most was the attention to detail and the genuine care from the staff. It truly felt like a home away from home. I would definitely return and recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay!"

"I stayed at A&O Edinburgh Hostel during my trip to Edinburgh and had a solid experience overall. The location is excellent — right in the city center, within walking distance of the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, and plenty of pubs and restaurants. The hostel itself is clean, and relaxing after a day of exploring. The staff were helpful and friendly, but it took a while to check-in. Rooms were basic but comfortable, especially considering the affordable price. Bathrooms were shared but well-maintained. If you’re a budget traveler looking for a central, convenient place to stay in Edinburgh without fuss, A&O is a good choice. Just be prepared for the usual hostel vibe—shared spaces and some noise. Would definitely consider staying here again!"

"The hotel boasts an excellent location, right on Victoria Street, making it incredibly convenient to visit The Elephant House and shop for Harry Potter merchandise. We also enjoyed what we believe were the best fried noodles in Edinburgh at Mussel, the seafood restaurant located directly opposite. The room itself was larger than anticipated, and I particularly appreciated the bathroom having a bathtub – perfect for a relaxing soak after a long day of city walking!"
