Tourist attraction in Edinburgh

“Stayed for one night - was good for a small trip. Room was clean to a certain extent. Bathroom was a bit dirty but nothing too bad. Lights in bathroom were very dull and flickering. Bed was very comfortable. Overall a good hotel to stay - location was great, right next to a bus stop. Definitely would recommend. Great value for price.”

“Edlets was the best company I encountered when looking for a place to stay n Edinburgh. Very professional, responsive and knowledgable. Would definitely recommend them.”

“I’m a uni student studying in London, on a two-day solo trip to Edinburgh. I originally booked a 4-bed dorm in a hostel for two nights (£15 a night), but had to cancel the second night—there was someone coughing loudly, another person praying at 5 AM, and the lockers didn’t lock. I ended up booking this hotel last minute the next morning (£45 a night). I was so pleasantly surprised and comfy after checking in! I’d been dreading it because of the bad Google reviews, especially since I got the cheapest basement room with no windows. But it was quiet, spotlessly clean, and the front desk staff were really helpful. First big plus: 24-hour reception. I looked at other places around the same price, but they were all Airbnbs/homestays that needed a confirmed check-in time upfront. As a solo traveler, I had no idea what time I’d roll in, so 24-hour reception was a total lifesaver. Second win: location. It’s right near the Water of Leith Weir, and only 2km from the Castle—an easy 30-minute walk for me. Half the walk’s through leafy residential areas with loads of churches, the other half along busy roads leading to Princes Street. Getting to see two totally different vibes on my way back to the hotel was such a nice touch. All in all, even the cheapest room here is miles better than the hostel. 100% a 5-star rating from me!”

“Extremely friendly staff! Gave us free water as soon as we walked in, didn't even have to ask. The latte with maple spice syrup was INSANE. Like so good. Like I-have-barely-had-such-a-good-coffee in my life good. The Mediterranean wrap was also delicious ^^”

“Highlight of our Edinburgh trip! Tour guide Coco was engaging and knowledgeable, sampled lots of different chocolates and learnt about the history and the making process. Was really fun and also got to make our own chocolate bars to take home! Would recommend for anyone visiting Edinburgh.”

“Very emotional memorial for Polish people in Edinburgh , reminding them beautiful friendship between soldiers and wild bear during the II world war.”

“Rooms are nice, exquisite and very comfortable. I would say this is affordable luxury. All of the staff are very pleasant and polite. They always want to help, no matter what. Not forgetting that breakfast is free and really nice. You can move around the ship for some sight seeing and we also got two free tickets to see the Britannia Yatch (Tickets can be transferred or used at anytime). The location is quiet. It was indeed a floating experience”

Experience the best of Scotland on a Hairy Coo tour from Edinburgh or Inverness.

“My family and I attended the Lonely Broomstick yesterday. It was one of the best experiences we have had this year. Made to feel so welcome and the kids had a great time making their potions. Highly recommend to any Harry Potter fans.”

“Fantastic scrambled tofu on toast. Texture and flavour spot on. Coffee wasn't amazing but perfectly acceptable. Prices were very reasonable. Not much seating inside, but thankfully it was a quiet morning. Highly recommend this place for fellow vegans!”

“I absolutely love this salon. Everyone is so warm and welcoming, and every service I’ve had has been flawless. The staff’s attention to detail is exceptional, and I honestly can’t recommend this place highly enough. The late opening hours are a fantastic bonus, too!”

“Such a great little shop full of unique items and pieces by local artists. Also one of the few that is not full of items paying royalties to she who shall not be named. Shop employees (owners?) were lovely!”

“Took my daughter’s friends here for the baddie academy for her 9th birthday party. They were very accommodating especially as I mixed up the dates . Ellis was really good at explaining everything to the kids and helping them with clues. Really appreciate you making such an effort for my daughter’s birthday she had the best time!”

“Spent a lovely day hiking in the Pentland Hills — stunning views, peaceful trails, and plenty of fresh air. Great for both casual walkers and more adventurous hikers. A real gem just outside Edinburgh! Highly recommend for a relaxing escape into nature”

“What an amazing museum this is. Firstly it's free to enter which is brilliant, of course you can leave a donation to support. There are lockers available to rent for a nominal sum, and great cafes to refuel. The museum has a terrific amount of interactive exhibits, lots of places to learn and play. You could really spend all day here.”

“Ban the cars and add deer. No other natural feature quite defines a UK city like the crags in Holyrood. As a result it has a magnetic effect on all who see it. You can stay low and flat, or trot up to the trig point. The very northern end of the crag affords a most intriguing panorama of the Royal Mile from Holyrood Palace all the way up to Edinburgh Castle.”

“Gorgeous area with an amazing view of the castle in the background. You can walk this whole trail which runs parallel to the main road right by the Scott monument. Definitely could take your time and enjoy this area! Lots of people doing photoshoots as this was a great place to take pictures. At sunset the castle is completely illuminated and teal of the fountain really pops. Would definitely suggest to stop by when in Edinburgh!”

“It was a pleasure to have walked the length of the nature reserve. I went there right after dropping my wee ones at school on a Thursday morning. Most people were nice and exchanged brief hellos. Several people were out with their dogs, I saw a family having a birthday hangout with their kids, a couple of runners and cyclists, and some squirrels. Very large and indeed well reserved.”

“The place was empty on a Monday night, we had a reservation at 6:00. By the time we left it was full. The food was wonderful, the Junglee Lamb and Samosas were amazing. Butter chicken is always a good bet as well. The service was kind, made great suggestions and were attentive. The atmosphere is inviting and the restaurant was bright and clean. Great place to enjoy some delicious Indian fare.”

“Great cocktail bar, amazing atmosphere! I have been an Edinburgh resident for my whole life and this is one of the best experiences I’ve had! Make sure you visit here. Service is phenomenal, I had Pier as a server, electrifying! A must see for Edinburgh”

“I think it was a brilliant experience. While it is like a zoo, the aim of the centre is to give the owls a chance to recover their population and provide a safe haven. The enclosures are well looked after and the owls are so pretty. It's nothing like an owl cafe.”

“We just had our dog Bow’s very first trip to the vet, and it couldn’t have gone better! From the moment we walked in, everyone made her feel comfortable and welcome. The vet was incredibly kind and gentle, making sure Bow had plenty of tasty treats throughout the check-up (which she definitely enjoyed!). They even mentioned they’d put it in her notes that she’s a fan of treats — such a cute personal touch! The vet took the time to explain everything clearly and gave us great information about Bow’s health. We were so happy to hear them comment on how beautiful she is and what great shape she’s in. It’s so reassuring to know she’s in such good hands. All in all, it was such a positive and reassuring experience for both Bow and us — we couldn’t have asked for a better start to her vet visits! Thanks again to Vet, Megan”

“If you are lucky enough to catch the Little Green Van out on a nice day, I highly recommend you give it a try. The coffee is amazing. I got wild and ordered the Affogato (2 scoops of vanilla ice cream with two shots of espresso poured over top) it was HEAVEN IN A CUP. If you’re looking for a delicious coffee and a tasty treat, you can’t go wrong with this drink. Other than that, they had a lovely array of tasty looking treats, savory rolls, and pre-made paninis. The staff was a man and woman, and they couldn’t have been lovelier. This is the perfect stop if you happen to catch it on your morning stroll :)”

“Went to the cafe twice— it was that good. The pancakes were to die for for breakfast. Burger I had was very tasty, and not at all dry. Coffee and tea served were both astounding, and the full breakfast I had on my second visit was very delicious. To top it all, the service was top-notch. They were accommodating and were engaging with us kindly. A must visit if you’re around Royal Mile!”

“Me and my sister popped in for a roll and coffee. Food was so fresh and hot and was absolutely delicious! Lovely staff as well, next time we’re in Edinburgh we’ll definitely be back. Also the new pumpkin spice syrup was lovely ☺️”

“My husband & I received a recommendation from our Airbnb host to eat here. Big compliments to the chef(s)! What a delightful dining experience. It’s a quaint and minimalistic bistro, and it feels quite intimate. We went with 2 courses, starting with the haggis canapé, then the salmon tartlet and lettuce as our starters. For our mains, the chicken and fish. I had a nice glass of Austrian Riesling. I was very pleased and even more so with the price, especially for such quality food. I will absolutely be returning when I’m back in Edinburgh.”

“Lunch fabulous at Café Marlayne (76 Thistle Street) which I can highly recommend! I started with PATE DE POISSON (Arbroath smokie pate, horseradish, creamy cheese) and then PITHIVIERS DE LAPIN (Rabbit, leek and aged cheddar in butter puff pastry with grain mustard sauce) my main. Excellent service, excellent food!”
