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.

    Amazing history,art,architecture and shopping!

    Amazing history,art,architecture and shopping! Magnificent walks up to the Mound or just walking the city. Better shopping than Oxford Street in London! Hop on a tram to see the Royal Yacht Britannia and Leith and of course have coffee and cake. Public transport is great, cheap and lots of it.

    Edinburgh is a lovely city if you like beautiful architecture, history, and art. The castle provides an interesting background to the history of the city and marvellous views, as does a climb up Calton Hill. Holyrood Palace is another gem worth a visit. There is a very good art collection at the National Gallery (which is free of charge), including the main Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists, Italian Renaissance masterpieces and Scottish art. If you stay at the centre, you can walk to the most important sites on foot. The food is good, but on the expensive side, as is the accommodation. The centre is easy to reach by tram; the transport system provides good connections. Dean Village is a must - a fairy-tale-like place in the heart of the city.

    We did 3 nights but 2 nights would be perfect to see everything - Edinburgh is small and very accessible to everything by foot. Would definitely recommend to visit - so beautiful and wonderful history!

    Edinburgh is a mix of medieval and modern, and so much fun.

    Edinburgh is a mix of medieval and modern, and so much fun. It's a walkable, bustling city with lots to do and see--from historical venues and tours to shopping to eating and drinking. It was mostly sunny and cool during our September visit but don't visit the UK (or Ireland) without a waterproof raincoat with a hood because showers arise, suddenly and often. We found the Scots and everyone in the area to be very kind and sociable. We took a touring coach to visit Doune, Blackness, and Midhope castles and villages outside Edinburgh in Stirling and Culross; I recommend you do that to see the beautiful countryside.

    So much to do and most of it in walking distance.

    So much to do and most of it in walking distance. Bus and tram services were great. Lovely restaurants We ate in the Bistro Coco , Fishers in the city and the Amber restaurant at the whisky experience. The food in all three of these was fantastic.

    Edinburgh was wonderful. Very easy to walk around with a view or something interesting to see around every corner…a special lunch at The Witchery just a few steps away from Edinburgh Castle. Lots of places to shop and browse

    Great location in the city centre of Edinburgh, so we could walk everywhere. Big parking garage under the shopping center next door (the hotel is actually above the shopping center as well), which is very convenient when you go here by car. The concierge showed us the shortest and easiest way from the hotel to the car park by walking with us, which we thought was great! Comfortable beds and spacious room, overlooking the roof garden and Calton Hill.

    Ten Hill Place was a convenient and comfortable location from which to explore Old Town Edinburgh. It is close to Waverly Station, the Royal Mile and our favorite for this trip, the National Museum of Scotland. The hotel staff were pleasant and helpful, and the hotel restaurant provided excellent breakfasts.
