Yotel Edinburgh ★★★★
Futuristic 4-star hotel on Queen Street. Smart 'cabins' with adjustable beds, free Wi-Fi, 360° event room, gym & restaurant. Steps from Edinburgh Castle & station—perfect for tech-savvy travellers.
St Christopher's Edinburgh Original ★★★
"First time staying in a hostel with triple bunk beds. The old guy on the bottom bunk never stopped talking, then immediately started snoring after his call. In the middle of the night, he'd wake up to eat after snoring."
Beaverhall Holiday Apartments ★★★
"Great apartment with all you could need for a weekend away. Felt like a little home away from home. Easy walking to Botanic Gardens. Tesco and Lidl close by. Nice ice cream cafe nearby too. We stayed in Flat 1. Perfect for a couple, but did have pull out beds for the kids. The rest of our group stayed in flat 3. It’s a lovely big space with nice kitchen and dining table. Would definitely recommend and will be back!"
Britannia Edinburgh Hotel ★★★
A quiet riverside location; just a 15-minute walk to Princes Street; 10 minutes to Haymarket Station.
Destiny Student - Holyrood (Brae House) ★★★★
"The room was clean and the facilities were fairly complete, though a bit small. It would be perfectly fine as student accommodation. However, as a commercial rental, the price is quite steep; at around 1200 including tax, the value for money isn't great. Because it's dormitory-style with area doors (each area having five or six rooms) and shared kitchen doors, the sound insulation is poor, so it can get quite noisy. There's often a chorus of loud doors opening and closing, as well as hairdryer noise. The train tracks are right across the street, but it wasn't noisy at night, perhaps due to infrequent service."
St Christopher's Edinburgh Old Town ★★
"it is good place for budget travel , but don't expect to much on that. Only a good night sleep there is enough."
Garner Hotel Edinburgh - Haymarket ★★★
"We like this hotel."
Travelodge Edinburgh Haymarket ★★★
"The room was not properly clean when we arrived; there were hairs in the bathtub and dust on the surfaces. The room was not cleaned on any day during our stay. We arrived on a Wednesday and, even after informing them that we needed the trash to be emptied, they didn’t do it until Saturday, and they gave us towels with an unpleasant smell. I asked for toilet paper and the reception staff gave me no explanation; I had to buy it at the supermarket. It’s shameful — this is not an apartment or an aparthotel, and they don’t provide any cleaning tools either. The floor is extremely noisy. Breakfast is far too basic. There is no wardrobe in the room.The mattress on the large bed was very sunken in the middle.It’s a very basic hotel just for sleeping, but with absolutely no room cleaning, which becomes extremely uncomfortable if you stay for several days.I chose the room in advance and paid an extra fee, basing my decision only on the size, the floor and the location. The room was spacious, but it didn’t make up for the complete lack of cleanliness.The renovation of the rooms is very basic; it’s not a real refurbishment, just a superficial ‘makeover’: wallpaper on the walls (slightly peeling in some areas), doors painted white, and not much else.."
Destiny - Burnet Point
"Good value and clean. I would say the walls are awfully thin so expect to be able to hear the goings on of you neighbours."

The Glasshouse, Autograph Collection
"The shower equipment in the room seemed to be designed for disabled people, with no glass and no shower curtain; there was also a red pull ring for alarm. How did Ctrip communicate and translate this?"
Village Hotel Edinburgh
"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. The only minor downside was the price, which was a bit steep, but then again, accommodation in Edinburgh isn't cheap."
Radisson Blu Hotel Edinburgh City Centre
"Perfect stay."
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."
