Hotels in Edinburgh

Enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Albany hotel. Nothing was to much trouble for them. Would definitely stay here again.

Will stay there again when we visit Edinburgh next time😍✨

Great customer service and location was central

Great customer service and location was central

Room was spacious but on the older side and a bit overpriced. This is just Edinburgh in general. The location was great tho

Had a pleasant night at the hotel, for a night at the Playhouse,which was very close, check in was quick and easy and the hostess was nice a friendly, room was clean and tidy and to a good standard, 2 minor niggles I had. £100 deposit was taken upon arrival which takes 4-5 business days to be put back in your account, parking outside the hotel is priced at £5 per hour if you can find a space

Although we only stayed one night it was comfortable and with easy access to Edinburgh city centre it suited us perfectly, only negative was no breakfast on the premises.

I recently returned from Edinburgh and felt inspired to write a review of this gorgeous little hotel. We booked last minute as we were needing a place to stay that was pretty central and near the University as we were dropping our daughter there.... It certainly exceeded our expectations with a beautiful and elegant ground floor room which was spotless and cleaned beautifully every morning. The...

The size of the family room is decent, and the window view is nice. The location is ok, as it is not far from the city centre. And they provided a fan quickly after request.

Beautiful room, attentive and amenable staff.

Very welcoming, friendly staff, and prices are compatible with the benefits. I recommend it! Don't go to Edinburgh without visiting this hotel, it's a must-see.

Great, classic guest house. Very attentive and friendly host, who gave some lovely dining recommendations as well. Reasonably priced and excellently situated. We were able to walk to the Royal Mile with some nice shopping and a park walk along the way.

Tks for Mr Carmichael and Madam Caroline warmly reception , the home stay hotel are good location, their smile and breakfast really give me full daily energy! Say my regards to you everyone !

In the suburbs, not central for tourists. Owners were kind but often not on the grounds. Rooms was ok, not bad. Def over priced

Great location for the Fringe. The room was a small double with a separate bathroom but we knew this when booking and it met our expectations. The breakfast was lovely and the hosts were warm and welcoming. Would recommend.

EXCELLENT. Our stay was simply wonderful and memorable. Three older teens and their 72-yr. old Nana on a celebration trip from Oklahoma school graduations. EACH grand-teen said that CARMICHAEL B&B was their favorite, most confortable 'stay' (even more than a ******* pub inn near Windsor and 5 others). Michael and Caroline are approachable, helpful and so personable. BREAKFAST IS AWESOME and we sure...

A wonderful stay at a very beautiful and comfortable Bed & Breakfast. Mike was extremely accommodating and helpful. The room was lovely, the bed extremely comfortable and the breakfasts were delicious! The perfect stay for a weekend city break. Easy to get to town by the buses - Mike even showed us what app to get on our phones for the live bus timetables, as well as booked our taxi to the airport...

The b&b is located on a lovely, quiet street away from the hustle & bustle of the city centre. It’s a beautiful b&b and it has the real feel of being at home rather than a hotel, it was comfortable and cosy. The hotel is situated about 20/30 minutes walk from Edinburgh city centre but it’s a nice walk. Mike and Caroline were so welcoming and friendly, making sure we were okay every time we saw them...

Great location but my those stairs! Despite being on the top floor I would stay again as the room was clean, spacious and with a walk in shower. Loved the Nespresso machine too and the beds were comfortable. Also very quiet. No staff but there was a porter on call mid afternoon till later at night apparently. Don't be put off by the entrance.

Lovely clean large room in the perfect location, great area for choice of bars & restaurants and a short walk to all local attractions. A few stairs to climb for top floor, but the whole of Edinburgh is stairs & hills so you soon get used to it. Weatherspoon’s 2 min walk for a good brekky to start your day off. Room has plenty of tea & coffee , even has heaters & coolers . Would deffo return & recommend...

Fantastic location! We had room #1 , 3 beds and a private bathroom. Rooms were tidied every day and towels restocked. Only down side was the noise. The room got pretty warm, but if you opened up the windows, the street noise was too much. The pubs downstairs get pretty rowdy by mid week. Bottles being recycled multiple times a night. Thankfully we all had headphones to sleep with. Coffee & snacks...

Great room in a great location but very noisy. Every coach in Scotland hammers down the street all day and night. Rabble downstairs plays loud thumping beats from 11pm to 1am that kept us awake. Every night. 7.30am beer lorry arrives. Shame as its a great size room.

The room was cozy and private. I arrived an hour early and was told there'd be a £10 charge for early check-in, so I decided to wait. However, the front desk attendant wouldn't even let me wait inside the lobby, insisting I wait outside in the cold, which felt a bit unreasonable. Also, if early check-in wasn't an option for me, why were a white mother and daughter able to check in right after me? Is...

Was good. Nice and clean. Only booked a small room but received a large room with 5 beds. Only downside is room was very cold. Heating was on in the evening but when I woke up it was off and I woke up shivering each morning. But was very cheap. Windows were also very bad and can hear everything outside.

Edinburg House Hotel was a lovely place to stay,I visited Edinburg for the very first time as female solo traveler, Very safe and comfortable Highly recommended

It was a good room for sleeping in as we were roaming for most of the time. Only thing was our washroom room did not close but or else it was fin

A good place to stay but it was so cold at night and the wifi is not working properly sometimes

Such a nice presentation of a historical hotel, felt like living in the castle. Fast check-in and close to the city centre. It’s a nice quite place to stay, me and my friends had an amazing time there.

Lovely hotel, room was very large and had all amenities we needed. Didn't utilise breakfast though. We would definitely stay again

The hotel is only 20/30 minute walk to the centre and the bed itself was really comfy. Unfortunately, the shower couldnt decide between burning hot and freezing cold, the room was basic with no tea and coffee and we had to pay £15 for overnight parking. Left feeling pretty underwhelmed considering the price, but ok for just the 1 night

The room was dirty, cobwebs in easy reachable places to clean. We were told we needed to book breakfast, booked for 8:45 to be given a cold plate of food. We complained and were told it had been prepared at 7:30 "sorry" no offer to even re heat 😆 Safe to say we wouldn't stay here again.

Poor value. Facilities and service-wise, it is 1.5X upgrade to a Hostel. Staff are polite but ineffectual. Room cleaned every 3 days only is really unacceptable in a hotel charging what they charge. It is a £50 a night hotel 3* tourist charging 4* prices (£110 a night for this place is definitely not worth it).

I stayed one night, just slept during the trip. I remember the kindness.

Best position, right in front of the bus stop served by 2 buses for the city center and the airlink bus for the airport, and also close to Haymarket train station. You can find also a Tesco close by and many different places to eat. The hotel is old but clean enough. The only thing I found troublesome was the lacking of AC/heating, as at night I was feeling cold and could only wear an additional shirt...

Both me and my partner stayed the afternoon/evening here with Afternoon tea and the whole experience was Awesome. Manager Ed was kind enough to show us the VIP Suites and what a cool experience overall Hotel was outstanding a little Gem in my Home City of Edinburgh. Unfortunately Hotel was near a local Nightclub and could hear the music until 3:30am otherwise we would have left all 5 stars.

Fab-u-lous can't say anything more. The hotel team are extremely friendly and helpful whether on the desk, restaurants or bars. They all were super happy and friendly. We booked a castle view room , which is great, funky, modern and stylish and above all clean. Free happy hour each day, certainly was an added bonus. Great way to meet other guests during your stay. Location for the old town is second...

We recently stayed at Virgin Hotels Edinburgh and booked a Family Chamber. From the moment we arrived, the experience felt premium. The hotel itself is stunning. The design, atmosphere and attention to detail throughout the building really stand out. It manages to feel luxurious while still being relaxed and welcoming. The Family Chamber was spacious, beautifully designed and perfect for our stay...

We had a fantastic stay! 😊 Check-in was super smooth, and the apartment was spotless with all the amenities we needed. 👍

I had such a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything was incredibly clean and well maintained, which made me feel comfortable right away. The staff were so welcoming and accommodating. They truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The location was so perfect and made getting around so easy. I would absolutely book here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the...

We had our daughter’s wedding at the Virgin Hotel Edinburgh in June 2025, and it truly was the best day from start to finish. From the very first enquiry, Jo was absolutely fantastic, so helpful, professional, and supportive throughout the entire planning process. Nothing was ever too much trouble. On the day itself, Jo, Luke and her whole team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran perfectly...

If you like having breakfast watching curlews and oystercatchers chasing the tide as the sun rises, then this is where you should stay. The sea is right outside the windows, with no promenade in between, in a warm conservatory lit with fairylights against the darkness of a winter morning. If you have the constitution for it, you will find the beach is very popular for early morning swimming, no matter...

Four of us sat in the conservatory with a great view over the sea. We had a lovely lunch, the fresh fish and chips were perfect and good to be able to choose large or smaller fish to allow room for a dessert, can recommend the red velvet cheesecake served with ice cream and cream also the apple pie and custard was good too as were the beers. The staff were attentive and friendly would definitely recommend...

Dropprd in for lunch because we were in the area and what a lovely surprise. The staff couldnot have been nicer, The food was very tasty and the portions were generous. There are super views out over the water. Would have no hesitation in recommending Rockville Hotel.

Room was nice but the mattress was too hard and it’s just too noisy being that close the main roads at Haymarket in an old building

Great location for the rugby and right on bus, train and tram routes. It's basic but clean and decent value for money. Good bars and restaurants nearby.

On the way to Murrayfield do yourself a favour, buy temporary membership and have a drink inside. Wonderful! Bit of history. Tartan carpets included. And the best meat pies in Edinburgh if not Scotland.

Friendly staff, the room was huge. Can see its wearing down. Need update redecorate it. It doesn’t bother me. TV need update, unable to use it.

The room and facilities were basic but good, other than a slow shower drain. Good job gaurds!

Clean room, friendly staff, and an excellent location. This no-frills hotel is perfect for a night or two’s stay.

Awesome stay and a pretty hotel. Exactly as advertised. Nice shower too.

The room was spotless, the bed was insanely comfy, and the staff was very friendly. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a chill yet classy getaway. Highly recommended! 🌟

top floor boards creaked while guests moved about above us did not sleep well. Room was too small linen had holes in it not recommended for a weeks stay

location, service, cleanliness everything was nice and suitable. overall the best

The location of the hotel was great, but that was just about it. Check in/check out time was one of the worst I had encountered. I arrived at the hotel about 2:25pm from a rather long trip but was told Check in started by 3pm, Checkout 10am. The waiting lobby/reception was crowded with lots of persons, noisy etc. The hotel looked like a student hostel. It was just for the night so I managed through...

The staff were polite and helpful and met my request for a ground floor room. The room is what you'd expect for a budget hotel. The bed and the bathroom were clean. Shower was very good. Our room could have stood a lick of paint, but overall we got what we paid for, so no complaints

It was close to Edinburgh Station and the accommodation was spacious and comfortable.

The location is super convenient, especially for a railway traveler.

The location is fantastic, so convenient! You can get there directly from the airport via the Airport Express, or by train. The room was quiet. However, it was quite small. Since there was no phone in the room, I had to go downstairs to the front desk twice to ask for an extra blanket. The staff were polite and said they'd send it right up, but after waiting half an hour the second time, it still hadn...

Excellent location, and the hygiene is pretty good.

The room was too small, and the window was blocked. There was no complimentary water from check-in to check-out. The cleanliness was really, really subpar; the sheets had indelible stains. The only major selling point is the location, which is excellent 👍. Breakfast was also decent.

College visit and it was convenient, comfy and will definitely stay again when coming to visit son

I really enjoyed my four days. Wonderful hotel the team was very friendly and helpful at all times of the day. Great location easy to get to from the Station/airport. Good trams service along Princes Street. Plenty of buses along South Bridge which is a short walk. Enjoyed the spa facilities especially the swimming pool. The lounge near the reception area is a little chilly but a nice spot to relax...

The hotel is a little over a ten-minute walk from the station, which is acceptable. The service was neither good nor bad, and they wouldn't upgrade my room despite my platform order. I was given a room on the highest floor, the 6th, but there wasn't much of a view. The room was quite spacious, and the bedding was clean, but it was really annoying that they didn't provide slippers. When I asked for...

Lovely hotel in Hollyrood, Edinburgh. Not too far from the centre or masses of places to eat. Staff were fantastic, especially during a really busy period with high expectations from tourists to the area as well. I was travelling alone, but made to feel very welcome especially in the restaurant and bar. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Just what you need to help with your stay. Leisure facilities...

Need sleepers in room .. the rest is ok

Mixed experience – not quite 4-star quality for the price I recently stayed at the Edinburgh Marriott Hotel and, unfortunately, had to request a room change upon arrival. The first room didn’t feel like what you’d expect from a 4-star hotel, especially at nearly £200 per night. It was very basic—no carpet, no robe, and no slippers. The room felt empty, more like a budget option than a premium stay...

Extremely nice - close to some lovely cafes and a nice hike nearby. The breakfast was great and the staff were good.

Nice wee overnight with my daughter ! Very comfortable and well laid out ! Good location too !

Good location but little bit far , big room than thinking , nice staff , good amentities

It’s a great experience staying in your hotel. Room is well equipped and very clean, shower was great, slept well in great bed. Staffs are nice, polite and accomodating. Location is nice, with gym, sauna, and starbucks inside. Worth a stay and highly recommended based on my experience. 🥰

We had a great stay and been twice this year already they had swimming pool for kids and sauna steam room for parents too😄 free parking free breakfast and affordable prices we also had a great service from the morning staff during our breakfast. Highly recommend!!!

Very helpful caring staff throughout. Only couple of little things in bedroom - No drinking glasses so had to use cups for drinking out of. Not the same but not as good as out of tumblers. No long mirror in room. This is not a complaint but just observations.

The room was spotlessly clean, and the bed was super comfortable. There's a spacious car park right outside the hotel, making parking incredibly convenient. The hotel is located a 10-minute drive from Edinburgh's historic Old Town. It also features a bar where you can catch a game, enjoy a beer, and grab a meal – a really handy amenity. Breakfast was pretty standard, and the variety wasn't very extensive...

We loved our stay, the location is unbeateable, the staff was very kind and the bed very comfy. Loved it. The building is beautiful and has an amazing lounge with incredible views of the olds town and the Balmoral hotel. Great hotel to visit the old and new town, surrounded by amazing restaurants and just seconds away from the best connections to the ariport (tram and bus) and Waverley Station.

Good location, walking distance to Waverley Train Station and shopping districts.

It's a 7-minute walk from the train station, making it very convenient to get around. Because the business was so good, all four bedding items on the day of my check-in were stained, but someone from the front desk came to change them immediately.

The hotel location is perfect, this is very near central station. All walkable distance from this hotel can be achieved. The hotel is just completed the renovation. Very new.

Great location, just opposite train station. Accessible to major attractions. Nice reception and lounge, value for money breakfast.

very good location at the heat of Edinburgh

Lovely hotel. From the outside it looks like a hotel you wouldn't normally bother with but inside was super bright and modern. Room was a bit on small side like you had to squeeze past the bed sideways to get to bathroom. Bathroom was very compact but we were fine with that. We only needed a bed and were not spending any great length of time in there. Location for us was perfect. Its a 15 min walk...

Slightly cold room but great location and space!

Stayed in the family room located on the 2nd floor. Spacious room with 1 double bed and 1 bunk bed. Comfortable family room.

Amazing place and so vlose to the theatre which was why we qere thwre. Great amenties.

No elevator, which made carrying large luggage a bit challenging. The breakfast was quite basic, and there was no fruit. However, the area was relatively quiet.

It was decent. I arrived a couple of hours early, around 1 PM, and wasn't able to check in yet, but they did offer free luggage storage. Considering how expensive hotels are in Edinburgh, it's actually a pretty good value-for-money option.

Great location, nice room but it was too hot during the night. Would stay again

The staff was very polite. The cleaning wasnt the best. Specially in the bathroom

This living experience far exceeded my expectations. It was very clean and cozy, the facilities were new, and the overall decoration of the house was very elegant. There are many supermarkets and restaurants downstairs, and the transportation is convenient. It's great!

Initially disappointed by the tired decor, broken blind and sofa, photos not truthful and concerned on finding negative reviews saying the same ( I’d only seen positive on booking). It was expensive and given too many stars. However I realised Edinburgh is expensive and over priced like London and actually we ended up having a lovely stay. I prefer character to modern. It was quiet even at the...

Decent clean spacious guest house and large rooms with comfy beds . Close to old town and very quiet location even though on busy road . Good nights sleep as other guests were very quiet . Would definitely stay again . Didn't try the breakfast and not sure it was being served during our stay .

No staff about but sort of worked Useful location but on arrival no one there and had to call to get access. Not very welcoming. High degree of utility. Nice artworks. Didn’t see any staff at all when I left so went on my way leaving the key as indicated in a glass jar

Pleasant. Free parking. Decent breakfast.

I stumbled upon this guest house after much searching. I wanted 6 nights away to cove my birthday to get away from thr fuss at home and this was ideal. The room was very clean, the breakfast was excellent and Jane, the host, was attentive and genuine I would happily stay again.

We had a lovely 3 night stay in ediburgh which was our first ever trip into scotland. The hotel was amazing and a very nice property. The staff are brilliant and helpful and really look after you. The room was nice and big and clean and the on suite was nice too. The breakfast was nice and loads of options to choose from. Also parking was good. The hotel is in a very good spot to the city and with...

Found the guest house to be very dated. Wallpaper was dirty as behind the mirror was clean. The whole place had an odour which whilst not pungent its not inviting. Breakfast was about average. Staff were friendly and helpful. 20 mins walk to city center. Overall just average.

It was very nice experience with ben doran guest house. Clean,quiet and wonderful.

We had booked the Ben Doran Guesthouse for 2 nights around the 6-nations rugby match. We got the “downstairs” bedroom which was large, quiet and with a big comfortable bed. That, together with a good quality included breakfast, made this a very pleasant place to stay at a reasonable price. Very much worth coming back to.

Very courteous staff, clean room, and fantastic location. I definitely recommend staying here!

Amazing place to stay! The staff was incredible and extremely helpful and kind! Extremely convenient with transportation, dining, entertainment close by! I will definitely be staying here again on my next visit! Even though it is right above a bar, it was a very quiet! I have paid much higher rates for hotels that were much less than this. I would recommend to any friend or family.

Clean room and good facilities. Staff were friendly. Good location right next to a pub and grass market

Staff were absolutely lovely and really helpful - lent me a brolly and then later an iron and ironing board! However the TV shows virtual gambling by default which is pretty disgusting. Should definitely cut that out

Travelled with 4 other family members. We shared a room with 2 doubles and 2 bunks so worked out well. Very clean and quiet. Nice breakfast. Very accommodating as we were able to leave our large suitcases there for 2 days while on a tour. Would stay there again.

All good though it made me and my husband feel extremely old! Lovely little spotless room and really good vibe all round.

I like the accommodation but there a single flow that is there is no attached bathroom/toilet, it is common restroom be careful before you reserve

Fine, but overpriced considering the room and amenities. Not soundproofed as advertised which was an issue with a room facing the street, size was smaller than expected (despite not being the 'basic' room), lamp was faulty, and we had issues with heating that needed someone to come and help resolve. Less of a guesthouse than advertised, felt more like a budget motel.

The place was well maintained and exceptional service

Great location with busses outside the guest house direct to the City Centre every 5-10 minutes. On-site parking which is great also but limited. Its quite self-service as there isnt anyone to greet you are just left a key and have to phone them up when you arrive. Take your own towels as there were none left for me in the room which I found strange.

It was beautiful, clean and easy to stay

Very friendly staff, the room was in great condition. It was such a pleasure to stay here.

Very pleased with the room and the manager made everything work

Area was lovely and quiet and walkable from city centre, noticed a few features of the room broken/missing and a little outdated, however it served its purpose for our trip

Great guest house The beds in this guest house were amazing it was clean and very friendly. Cant say anything bad bwell worth a stay

If you’re just looking for a bed. This is a great place. If you want any space or amenities like a bathroom in your room or anything besides a twin bed then look somewhere else. Plus there is NO parking provided for this place despite what is said in the listing.

This hotel is very cost-effective. It is very rare to find a hotel in Edinburgh that is convenient for travel at this price. We were lucky to catch it. I recommend everyone to stay in this hotel. Because the city is only accessible by foot, there are many restaurants nearby, and you can always find an economical dinner. The environment is also good.

A nice simple guesthouse to stay in Edinburgh that is close to good amenities that are walkable and close to bus routes. Friendly owner who went out of his way to allow us an earlier check in as we needed a jet lag nap and our flight had been changed.
