Top Hotels in Edinburgh
Explore Edinburgh with stays near iconic landmarks, luxury hotels, and top boutiques for the best shopping and dining
St Christopher's Edinburgh Original ★★★
"The location was very good but I am not satisfied with the services. You have to pay for the lock pads. I booked it through trip.com and got a very high price. I requested to cancel my booking but the hotel didn't agree."
Britannia Edinburgh Hotel ★★★
A quiet riverside location; just a 15-minute walk to Princes Street; 10 minutes to Haymarket Station.
4 Friends House ★★
"First of all, I want to thank the staff. His service attitude is very good. He almost replied to messages in seconds. He also tried his best to meet our needs. The sanitation of the room is also good. Shampoo and shower gel are provided, and there is a bathtub🛁. Everything is satisfactory, except that the location is on the street. When the car drives by, there will be some noise. You may need to wear earplugs to ensure the quality of sleep. But the price is cheap, I am very satisfied"
Murrayfield Hotel ★★★★
"Only stayed for one night but the room had a very chill and modern vibe. There is a bus stop outside that takes you closer into the city as parking inside the city centre is quite expensive. Great for couples."
Garner Hotel Edinburgh - Haymarket ★★★
"Very clean with a cozy atmosphere. The hotel is in a great location, close to attractions, shopping areas, and transportation hubs. "The hotel's location is superb; it's a five-minute walk to the subway station, and there are many dining options nearby, which is incredibly convenient.""
Code Pod – the Court - Edinburgh ★★★★
"It was GREAT. The washrooms and showers were so clean and spacious. Very secure had lockers as well. The location is right behind st Giles in the middle of Royal Mile, very convenient. Staff were friendly and helpful. It was super quiet at night, i stayed in the courtroom,the room was super clean and comfortable. Recommend!!"
St Christopher's Edinburgh Old Town ★★
"I liked the location but the room I was in had loud AC.all of us were bothered on it."
Tynecastle Park Hotel ★★★★
"Ideally located for visiting west side of the city & close to bus stop. Room was bright, very clean & comfortable. Staff were all extremely friendly, courteous & helpful. Will definitely use again next time when visiting family in west of Edinburgh."
Edinburgh House Hotel ★★★
"We had a good stay. The place is a bit old but clean. The room is wide and comfortable but we had quite an issue with the wifi since our room were located underground. Would be better if the room is in upper level. Appreciate the staff who help use to put our bags since we reached earlier than check in time."

The Bonham
"The rooms are nice and neat, the hotel is beautiful, though it was hard to stay without the air condition."
Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood
"Facilities: Very good, though the faucet still separates hot and cold water. Hygiene: Clean and tidy. Environment: Quiet all around. Service: Excellent."
Apex Waterloo Place Hotel
"I was a bit worried after seeing some negative reviews, but it turned out to be excellent. First, the location is only a few minutes from the train station; you just exit the ground floor and walk for three minutes. The front desk staff and cleaning crew were all very friendly. I arrived ten minutes late for check-in, and they even offered me a hot drink from the bar next door. The room was spacious, and there was a large complimentary bottle of water every day. Calton Hill is a three-minute walk if you turn left when you exit the main door, and a five-minute walk to the Scott Monument and the '网红桥' (famous Instagram bridge) if you turn right. A M&S supermarket is also not far. It's definitely worth staying here."
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."
Norton House Hotel & Spa
Award-winning spa with indoor pool, hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room, fully equipped gym & treatment rooms. Perfect for rejuvenation, stress relief & wellness getaways.
Holiday Inn Express EDINBURGH - LEITH WATERFRONT by IHG
"Very disappointing stay. The room was dirty and poorly maintained: dust everywhere, fingerprints and smears on surfaces, stained sheets, a toilet that clearly hadn't been cleaned, dirty curtains, filthy and broken windows. The air conditioning smelled bad, was partly broken, and was switched on by default. The breakfast room was just as dirty. It was difficult to find a clean mug and almost impossible to find a clean chair to sit on. The breakfast itself was below average and not worth it."
InterContinental Hotels EDINBURGH THE GEORGE by IHG
An award-winning 5-star landmark offering opulent accommodation, gourmet dining and bespoke service for discerning travellers.
The Place Hotel
Apex Grassmarket Hotel is a stylish 4-star hotel in Edinburgh’s vibrant Old Town, boasting stunning views of Edinburgh Castle. It offers modern rooms with premium amenities, free Wi-Fi, and a prime location steps from the Grassmarket, the Royal Mile and top attractions.
Ocean Serviced Apartments
"This was a wonderful place for my dear wife Ping and I to stay at during our visit to Edinburgh! The apartment was very spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet. Our host provided clear instructions making it easy to get in the apartment. We found it a relaxing retreat after touring Edinburgh for the day. There is a bus stop a short walking distance from the apartment providing easy transportation to the city center with its many attractions. There is also a large supermarket about a 15-minute walk where we were able to purchase groceries and other items. I highly recommend staying here and would certainly choose it again if and when we return to Edinburgh."
