Lodging business in Edinburgh

“Clean and tidy rooms with tea and coffee making facilities. The room was lacking some storage space apart from a tiny rack with a bit of space above for a few tops. Needs a cupboard or chest of drawers!! Staff friendly and very helpful and it's position in the centre made all of the tourist attractions easily to reach...”

“My partner and I had an excellent stay at this hotel (end of July) The establishment has been refurbished, thanks to the efforts of the owner and staff, and the result is very harmonious and soothing. The bed is extremely comfortable The staff we met were very kind and attentive Special thanks to Romik, who made our stay unique!”

“Cairn was the perfect hotel for our stay! The room was a bit small but had a spacious bathroom and big bed, plus, how long do you really spend in the room anyway? All services worked and the location was a short walk to city center! Helen was a gracious staff member and really helped us out when we needed it. Thanks again!”

“I had read reviews before booking and was slightly concerned as there were a few negative reviews about staff and location . My experience was fantastic from the moment we arrived as we were recieved by a lovely welcoming receptionist who sorted the booking in an instant and was very sweet and informative. The room was clean and very comfortable and I felt the hotel had a warm atmosphere. My son and I chose to have a meal in the restaurant and were given great service by the bar and waiting staff.Food was really good and the Manageress was excellent running around and ensuring customers were happy and attended to there every need.Top marks to the staff and for the excellent service. I would recommend this hotel .As far as location and complaints about the distance from Edinburgh city centre these people obviously got on the no. 1 bus instead of the 26 which only take 15 /20 minutes to take you into the centre of Edinburgh. No complaints from me and would book again.”

“Can store bags at the Royal. The Haymarket is lovely with pleasant staff and resteraunt reasonably priced. The added bonus is that our train wasn't due until 6pm. We could store our bags, but didnt want the 1 hour walk from train station and back to collect them. We asked and they have a policy that bags can be stored in other Leonardo hotels, so we dropped them off at the Royal next to the train station for free and enjoyed our day worry free.”

“I really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is about 20 minutes walking from the center of town and is easy accessible from the street. The building is tidy and we'll maintained, both inside and out. The rooms are clean and fubctional. The car park is conveniently located at the back of the hotel and is accessible from both biuldings. The service is warm and welcoming.”

“This was one of the nicest Hotels that we stayed at on our Insights Vacations tour of UK and Ireland and in a great position. Note the fridge in the room is a cooler not a fridge (works ok if you get a bucket of ice from the bar) Also a note that both my wife and I thought Cass on reception was fantastic and made our stay even better with her helpful advise and pleasant personality”

“Booked family room, 2 adults 1 child. Room was spacious and was in perfect location for holiday. 10 minute walk from train station, as it was close to royal mile we could walk the length of it easily and not worry about walking back to hotel. Plenty of cafes nearby for food / drink. Room was by road which goes quiet in the evening so don't have to worry about being awake at night. Could see Arthur's seat from room which was great, and could look at the beautiful architecture of the buildings.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was my very first stay at a Travelodge, and I can honestly say you’ve gained a new loyal customer! The room was spotlessly clean, fresh, and comfortable. The food and drinks were excellent, with a great variety and quality that really exceeded expectations. Every member of staff was polite, helpful, and welcoming, but I’d like to give a special mention to the supervisor (Michelle and Louise), who was truly exceptional. I have never met anyone so vibrant, cheerful, and genuinely passionate about their job. Their positivity was infectious — always ready with a smile, quick to help, and full of enthusiasm. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, offered brilliant local recommendations, and even shared fascinating insights about Edinburgh and its history. It’s rare to come across someone who clearly takes such pride in their work and genuinely enjoys making guests feel at home. The supervisor is an absolute credit to Travelodge and made our stay unforgettable.”

“Had an amazing overnight stay for our early morning flight room was spacious and we had a family room. Beds were exceptionally comfortable Dinner was tasty and great portion size. Can almost touch edinburgh runway and could see some of the planes taking off. Would definitely stay again!check in and out was easy and fast even when it was a busy time.”

“Place was well maintained and staff were nice helped me with parking as it was weakend there were free parking around the area and felt safe I left my car there for 1 and a half days nothing happend to it room was nice”

“We stayed for 3 nights over the Christmas period. The breakfast was beautiful, the room was clean and had all the amenities needed with a really comfy bed and blackout curtains. Overall, the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful over our stay, always happy to have a chat and welcome guests in with a smile. Thank you Royal Terrace!!”

“For what you pay it's great value. Campus grounds are nice, Reception staff great. The bedroom is basic but the bed is very comfortable. The shared bathroom is clean but basic. Breakfast is fab. If you're on a budget or want something a little different I'd highly recommend it.”

“Perfect getaway place very close to Edinburgh. Nature walks in proximity, big spacious room. Would come back again!”

“If you're looking for the Ritz, go stay at the Ritz and pay for the Ritz. I stay at hotels all the time for work and this Holiday Inn is one of the nicest Holiday Inns I have stayed at. Our room was comfortable and updated. The bathroom is small but expected for being in Europe. It was clean and completely acceptable. The lobby area is updated and welcoming. The fitness room is great with all the equipment needed for a decent workout. The breakfast is wonderful and worth the extra we paid for it. I read reviews that the restaurant food is great and that is accurate. Whoever is running that restaurant and making the food is doing a great job. The food is excellent! The pool and hot tub are ok but better than not having anything. The bus stop is right outside and takes you into town in about 20 minutes.....so convenient. A family day pass is 12£ (2 adults, 3 children). If you want a nice place to stay with good food but you don't want to pay the prices of being downtown, this is the place for you.”

“Fantastic stay! The airport bus (100) which stopped right next to the hotel was soooo appreciated when trying to manage bags and tired children. When we arrived the staff were kind and helpful. Our children especially enjoyed the warm pool and great breakfast. The tasty IPA beer was appreciated by us!”

“I've stayed in many a travelodge around the club and im always happy with the service. This one was no exception, staff were friendly and helpful in every way. Comfortable bed ,clean and fresh room, shower was ok , bathroom was spotless. Tea and coffee was provided, just what you need after a journey. Parking was ok for quite a busy place. Starbucks next door is very handy. I will stay at this travelodge again.”

“Amazing place and location. Right at the center of public transportation.”

“The room was very spacious and plenty big enough for the three of us. It was clean and the beds were super comfy. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and we were made to feel most welcome. The location of this hotel is so central, both for the railway station, the Royal Mile and a multitude of bus stops and nearby tram stop for travelling further afield. There is no cooked breakfast served here but there are so many cafes nearby it's not really necessary.”

“Hold your horses, guys! You are going to read the most extensive review of St. Christopher Inn today. 1. Location: The location is perfect for tours. Everything is walkable. If you are arriving from the Airport, the final bus station is just 400m away from the hostel. 2. Accommodation: Clean Linen with Blankets provided. There is a cage beneath your bed to store luggage. Remember to bring your padlock if you want to secure it. Padlock can also be purchased from the reception. 3. Showers and Toilets: Separate section outside the dorms. Regularly cleaned. Free shower Gel provided at the reception. Towels are not provided but can be rented. 4. Food: Breakfast can be purchased for 6 GBP. Served at Belushi's. Belushi's also offer 25% discount on food if you are staying at the hostel. 5. Kitchen and Luggage: There is a Chill-out cum Waiting room with a small kitchenette. You will find a Kettle, Fridge and Microwave there with some utensils. You can't cook but Ready to eat meals can be heated. Lockers can be rented to store luggage. 6 GBP per day for the large locker. 6. Water: Water dispenser available at the reception. However, Tap water is topnotch also. Things to note: 1. They have two buildings with reception only in one. For anything, you might have to go to the reception across the road. 2. Chill out room is crammed and not a great place to socialize with other guests. 3. Although there was a mention of Events, there was no notice board to display the events. 4. The staff is friendly and they are super helpful if you need anything. Overall a great hostel and definitely recommended to other guests”

“It was a great location, within 10 minute walk of either attractions or the bus but set back so not particularly noisy. It was clean, beds were comfy, plenty of hot water, shower was powerful. Kitchenette was brilliant as we could self cater, we didn't realise there was a washer/dryer in there too (also wash powder there) . We could have done with a few extra pieces of kitchen equipment and softer pillows but they are minor gripes. We will definitely be staying again.”

“I stayed here a few months ago now. It is a really nice place. Room was wonderful, clean with plenty of space. The breakfast was lovely too. The surrounding area is beautiful. The owner is very nice and makes you feel at home. I would recommend and stay here again.”

“A very calm and clean place with friendly staff. The room was bright and tidy, equipped with a hairdryer, iron, and a kettle with coffee and tea. Highly recommended.”

“The plan was simple: find a budget hotel close to Edinburgh Airport — and it worked perfectly. The hotel met our expectations. The room was small but clean and functional, with a shower cabin and toilet. The mattress was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is a bistro on the ground floor where you can have a drink, eat something, or buy takeaway food. Paid parking is available (a few pounds). The hotel is only about 8 minutes by car from the airport, which allowed us to catch our early morning flight without any issues and saved us a late-night trip to the airport. We will definitely use this hotel again if we need a convenient place to stay near the airport.”

“Thank you for all this great service. We went only one night and it was enough to see how kind and welcoming are the employees. Great room and great breakfast ! It was a nice way to begin our journey in Edimburgh”

“For a 3* hotel we found this over & above our expectations. On arrival we were greeted by very pleasant and helpful staff. Underground car parking available at £15 which is ideal. Room was lovely & clean & warm, nice bathroom/shower. Breakfast was really good. Only 15 minute walk to Princes St etc. Well impressed.”
