Hotels in Edinburgh Reviews

Sheraton Grand Hotel

“The room was very large and trendy, with a breath taking view of Edinburgh Castle. The on-site parking was a huge bonus and the concierge explained all the rooms’ features including the variable mood lighting in the bathroom. A wonderful short break and would recommend to friends.”

Stephen, London

“The facilities of the room were marvellous and the restaurant within the hotel was truly splendid.”

Margaret, Aberdeen

“The room was luxurious, including the most comfortable bed I’ve ever had the pleasure of sleeping in. The spa facilities were extensive and by the end of the trip I’ve never felt so relaxed.”

Robert & Anne Williams, Carlisle

 Caledonian Hilton Hotel

“The classical interior is beautiful and the location of the hotel is very central. I wish we could have extended our stay for longer as it was worth every penny.”

Michael, Tipperary

“The hotel is very traditional and opulent, an absolute marvel. We were fortunate enough to be upgraded to a deluxe room with a Castle view, which was a real treat.”

Carl, Berlin

“Everything was good, the breakfast especially. We had a welcome from the breakfast chef Garry every morning which was a good and welcoming start to the day. The bar also has a selection of over 250 whiskeys, enough said.”

Peter, Leeds

The Balmoral Hotel

“Has to be the best hotel that I’ve stayed in and the Michelin-starred restaurant is simply divine. The hotel is located right in the centre of Edinburgh and surrounded by many wonderful sights, including a wonderful view of the Old Town.”

Hotels Edinburgh City Centre

If you are visiting the city then I would recommend that you stay in a hotel in Edinburgh City Centre. There are many options available depending on your budget or requirements for your trip including:

5 Star Hotels in Edinburgh

If money is no object then I would highly recommend the Sheraton Grand Hotel located at 1 Festival Square. It has a fabulous spa and outdoor swimming pool. It’s wonderfully placed to enjoy scenic views of the city including the Castle.

Another hotel is the Balmoral. It is luxury in every sense of the word, steeped in Scottish history and culture, and definitely worth staying at if you get an opportunity.

Business Hotels in Edinburgh

Well known brands such as Hilton, Malmasion and Radisson are always good places to start for executive hotels in Edinburgh. The Hilton Caledonian is a personal favourite of mine and always high on my list of hotels when I’m staying in the city.

Other local brands to look out for would be the Apex and MacDonald brands which tend to be slightly cheaper but still give you the same level of quality.

Quality and affordable Hotels in Edinburgh

The Thistle and Carlton are very good and reasonably priced hotels in Edinburgh. They are both 4 star hotels and offer luxuries often beyond the reasonable pricing.

Cheap hotels in Edinburgh

Jurys Inn and the Premier Inn are cheap hotels in Edinburgh. Also look at Travel Inn and other budget brands. These hotels are fairly well placed within Edinburgh and if travelling on a budget you won’t have to be miles outside the city like you would with London.

Other options

Edinburgh has 100’s of B&Bs located all over the city, ranging from basic to luxury. There are also some very good self catering options within Edinburgh such as the Fraser Suites and other modern apartments.
