The Scholar ★★★★
"Lovely clean hotel, super helpful staff. We will be back."
a&o Edinburgh City ★★
"The hostel is in a great location, very close to the city centre and within easy walking distance. The cleanliness was okay overall, I stayed for four nights, and during most of my stay the room wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. The beds were made and the rubbish was removed, but the rest of the room didn’t seem to be cleaned. However, the day before I left, I wrote a short note for the cleaner and left it near the bin explaining my concerns. When I returned, the room was absolutely impeccable. I really appreciated how quickly and seriously they responded to my feedback. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the common area is comfortable. The main downside for me was the noise from the street. There was quite a lot of noise at night, sometimes continuing until late, so this is something to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper. Overall, despite these small issues, I had a good stay and would recommend the hostel, especially to women travelling solo. I felt safe and comfortable during my stay, and I particularly appreciated how responsive the staff were when I raised a concern."
Holiday Inn Express EDINBURGH - CITY WEST by IHG ★★★
"The room and bed were both large, but the breakfast was very average. It's a bit far from the old town, requiring a bus or Uber, so I wouldn't recommend it if you have a tight two-day itinerary."
The Bonham ★★★★★
"The location of the hotel is very good ~ the hotel is clean and comfortable! Afternoon tea is also great~"
Hotel du Vin Edinburgh ★★★★
"Great location and amenities! Staff are so friendly and the deluxe room was fab !"
The Scott ★★★★
"The hotel room wasn't big, but the environment was great, and the restaurant was good too."
Dakota Edinburgh ★★★★
Peacefully located near the iconic Forth Bridges, a short train ride from Edinburgh’s city center. Quiet yet well-connected, ideal for exploring South Queensferry, Hopetoun House, and Edinburgh’s attractions. Relaxed service, fitness center, and on-site dining for leisure stays.
Roomzzz Edinburgh ★★★★
"The room with a view was absolutely fantastic! You could see Calton Hill and the sea in the distance right from the room. The free croissants at the front desk were delicious. Calton Hill is just a five-minute walk away, and the views from there are breathtaking. The hotel is also only a few minutes from Edinburgh Waverley train station, and having direct lift access was so convenient and pleasant. Edinburgh is a wonderful place and definitely worth revisiting. This hotel is also worth another stay!"
Malmaison Edinburgh City ★★★★
"The hotel was a bit old-fashioned, but very clean and tidy, and in a great location. We didn't take any transportation in Edinburgh; we walked the whole time. Hotels in Edinburgh are generally expensive, so considering convenience and comfort, this hotel offered excellent value for money."

Convenient hotel in a Georgian building in New Town, offering smart comfort and unbeatable access to the city center.
The Balmoral Hotel
Perfect Old Town location: just a 3-minute walk to the Royal Mile, 5 minutes to Waverley Station, and 10 minutes to Edinburgh Castle.
Holiday Inn Express EDINBURGH AIRPORT by IHG
"Walking from the car rental return at the airport to the hotel was quite convenient, but the walk itself was really dirty, full of trash. The hotel itself was pretty standard, with a typical American feel. Getting into the city was easy using the airport bus. However, the shuttle bus *to* the airport costs 2.5 pounds per person and makes several stops, so a short distance takes over 10 minutes."
Holiday Inn Express EDINBURGH - ROYAL MILE by IHG
"I don't know why hotels in Edinburgh are so incredibly expensive! But then again, high prices are pretty much the norm in Edinburgh. Overall, this hotel was quite comfortable and its location was excellent. It's within walking distance of the station and all the main attractions. There's a small, quiet church next door, which made for peaceful evenings. The front desk staff were super helpful; they first checked if we could check in early, and when that wasn't possible, they offered complimentary luggage storage so we could go explore before coming back. That was a really nice touch. The breakfast was also quite substantial."
W Edinburgh
"Absolutely loved it! So comfortable, I'd definitely stay here again next time. I enjoyed every single day of my trip to the UK."

Five-star luxury hotel (Marriott) featuring the One Spa, an indoor pool, a rooftop hydropool, a restaurant, a bar, stunning castle views, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton
"Good service and convenient to travel"
Virgin Hotels Edinburgh
"The hotel was located at the most perfect spot right at the start of Victoria Street, Edinburgh. The facilities were top notch and staff were super friendly and professional. Our Scotland trip was a treat from start to finish because of this hotel! Just simply amazing! ❤️"
Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh
"The breakfast was incredibly rich, with a wide variety of drinks, bread, sausages, bacon, cereals, and fruits – definitely filling. The location is a tiny bit out of the way, but we took the local train to the city center every day. It's a convenient 12-minute ride from Haymarket Station to Waverley Station. The room was spacious, though the facilities were a little dated. Overall, it was a good stay."
Holiday Inn EDINBURGH by IHG
"Excellent customer service, room was tidy and the breakfast was great."
DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh Airport
"The check-in was straightforward and we used express checkout to leave. Our room was good. We ate at the restaurant and enjoyed our food, which was fairly priced for this type of hotel at the airport. It was fairly easy for us to walk to the airport straight from the hotel and any reasonably fit person should be able to drag large cases that distance. All was well and we enjoyed our stay."
Village Hotel Edinburgh
"Good one"
Norton House Hotel & Spa
An award-winning spa featuring an indoor pool, a hydrotherapy pool, a sauna, a steam room, a fully equipped gym, and treatment rooms. Perfect for rejuvenation, stress relief, and wellness getaways.
Best Western Kings Manor Hotel

Radisson Blu Hotel Edinburgh City Centre
"Excellent hotel and staff"
Apex Waterloo Place Hotel
"The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic – almost all the attractions are within walking distance. It's right at the foot of Calton Hill, and with daylight saving time, it stays light late, so it's super convenient to watch the sunset, head back to the hotel to rest, and then go out again to see it."
