Cheap Hotels in Edinburgh

"I stayed at the Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket and booked a standard king room with a sofa bed. The room was 27m², which isn't small for a UK hotel. It was well-equipped with a full-length mirror, safe, hairdryer, bathtub, and air conditioning. The room was cleaned daily, which was great. My only minor complaint was that the shower pressure wasn't very strong. I booked the hotel through Trip.com, and because it was a third-party booking, the hotel didn't require any deposit. The room included a daily breakfast for three people, and the breakfast spread was quite generous. Breakfast hours were from 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM, which was perfect for sleeping in. Since Edinburgh isn't a huge city, most major attractions were within walking distance. An Uber to the castle cost around £9. There are Tesco and Sainsbury's supermarkets nearby, as well as many Chinese restaurants. The location is excellent and I highly recommend it."

"Brilliant location especially for the fringe festival, it meant I was able to catch a show after checking out as they had free festival shows downstairs in the bar. My light was broken and unusable, but other than that the dorm on the 4th floor was quiet enough didnt hear any of the noise from the bar downstairs which is great, only issue was from guests not from the hostel itself, guests on the last night came in at 1.30am and started making their beds as only one of them had made their bed during check in, I guess the hostel could advise guests to make their beds at check in instead of waiting until they come back to do it, or explain general expectations of sharing rooms with others to be mindful of other guests as the 3 girls didnt turn the light off or stop talking in the room until 4am and then left the room again at 7.30am"

"The hotel's location is excellent, making it very convenient for getting around. The rooms are well-equipped, and the cleanliness is spot on. Although the hotel breakfast selection isn't extensive, it's sufficient for everyone's needs."

"The hotel is a bit far from the main attractions, but there's a bus right outside that goes directly there. An Uber to the train station costs about 6 pounds. They offer three meals a day, and breakfast is especially good with some Scottish specialties you can order. The service in the restaurant was also great."

"We booked this hotel not knowing that it is literally next to the zoo. So it was a pleasant surprise and we decided to include the Edinburgh Zoo as part of our itinerary when we were there. There’re bus stops infront of the hotel that conveniently transport us to the city centre in 15min; as well as to the airport. The bus systems there are superb and most of the times the buses arrived on schedule. There are no bottled mineral water, toothbrushes, toothpaste, comb or other sanitary products (except for shower gel, shampoo and handwash) provided in the room. However, there is a note pasted in the toilet that one has to ask for these items at the reception counter if one requires any of these. We didnt notice the pasted note in the toilet; thus we did not ask for these during our stay.. We were also surprised that there was no mini fridge or safe which are normally provided in a hotel room. Nonetheless we were happy when there’s an iron and ironing board in our room. We noticed that the housekeeping service usually starts around 9am. We were in the room at around 9.30am when someone from the housekeeping dept tried to open the door. So if you intend to wake up late, we suggest to keep your door locked and latched. Their housekeeping is efficient as we think they need to be on schedule but many times our used cups were not cleaned thoroughly (or replaced) as there were still stains in the cups. 1 day 1 of our half-drink bottled drinks was removed from the table which we presumed the housekeeper could have thrown it away. On the whole, it’s a pleasant stay for our family."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 We had a wonderful stay at Ten Hill Place Hotel and would happily stay here again on our next visit to Edinburgh. The location is excellent—situated in a quiet area while still being within easy walking distance of the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, the University of Edinburgh, and many great restaurants and cafés. It was the perfect base for exploring the city. The room was modern, spacious, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The bed was especially comfortable, and we had a great night’s sleep. Everything was well maintained, and the room had all the amenities we needed. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and professional throughout our stay. Check-in and check-out were quick and efficient, and everyone was happy to help with any questions we had. Overall, Ten Hill Place Hotel offers excellent value for money, combining a fantastic location, comfortable rooms, and outstanding service. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again."

"This hotel is located next to a train station on the outskirts of Edinburgh, with a tram stop nearby for easy access to the city center or the airport. There's also a large supermarket just across the road, which is quite convenient. The room itself was fairly spacious, though I found it odd that there were no power outlets by the bed. It was a bunk bed setup, designed to sleep three, but for a single traveler, the top bunk just served as extra storage. As for cleanliness, it wasn't the most thorough. On the first day, the cleaning staff left the trash bin next to a chair and completely forgot to empty it. Later, I dropped some breadcrumbs on the floor, and even after moving chairs and other obstacles out of the way for two consecutive days, they still didn't bother to sweep. I really couldn't understand why."

"I loved the decor and how clean it was. It had everything you could need – a kitchen, microwave, and fridge, plus a washing machine and dryer! Most hotels in Edinburgh in July are pretty similar, but this place was twice the size of others. I just wanted to get back to the hotel every day."

"The young staff at the front desk were all incredibly warm and friendly. The room's bedding was clean, and the street view from the window was lovely. The location is excellent, close to everything. There's a supermarket downstairs, the hotel has a restaurant, and there are many eateries nearby, which is super convenient. The only downside is that the windows don't open, which seems to be a common issue as other hotels with AC on the street also have sealed windows. A minor improvement could be to switch the plastic lining of the electric kettle to stainless steel. Overall, I'm very satisfied. While it was a bit pricey, considering it was during the Edinburgh August Festival, in the city center, and had an elevator, the value for money at this hotel was actually quite good."

"This hotel is conveniently located near Haymarket Station, making it easy to get to all of Edinburgh's attractions. It was cherry blossom season during my stay, and the entire city was breathtakingly beautiful. The hotel breakfast was very extensive, and they even offered local specialties like Haggis to try. My only minor regret was that after checking in, I noticed the bed type was incorrect from what I'd booked. However, the front desk promptly resolved the issue for me. Overall, I highly recommend it!"
