Stays in Edinburgh

Central Edinburgh is largely divided up into old and new. For every twist, turn and gothic alleyway along the Old Town’s Royal Mile, there’s a neatly organised, stylish shopping street or chic dining experience waiting for you in New Town. Staying in Old Town will put you in the heart of the historic city, near Edinburgh Castle and other popular attractions, while New Town provides more luxury accommodation options for travellers who prioritise comfort over cost. Looking for a completely different atmosphere? Try areas away from the hustle and bustle like Stockbridge or Leith. 

Making sure everyone gets a good night’s sleep is crucial to the success of a family holiday, and you’ll be happy to know that there are plenty of family-friendly accommodation options waiting for you in Edinburgh! Make sure you select the correct number of adults, children and infants travelling with you when searching for Edinburgh stays, or ask your Travel Expert to help you find the perfect family-friendly option for your trip. 

From cost-effective hostel beds to more affordable rooms in city-centre hotels, our Edinburgh stays cater to a wide range of holiday budgets. Filter by price when browsing our Edinburgh hotel deals to find an option that still leaves you with a quid or two to spend on Scottish souvenirs or a wee dram of whiskey! 

Whether you’re planning an extended Scottish holiday or just looking for something a little more homely while you’re away, Edinburgh has accommodation options to suit any itinerary! Browse the stays above to find out what amenities and services are available, or talk to your Travel Expert about long-stay options in and around Edinburgh. 

Some hotels in Edinburgh may offer either on or off-site parking options for an additional fee, although it’s a good idea to confirm this in advance as parking availability in the historic city centre can be limited. Click on a specific deal for more information on parking and hotel amenities, or talk to your Travel Expert about parking options for your trip.

Some of our Edinburgh stays may include flexible booking and cancellation options, but it’s important to read the specific deal’s terms and conditions or talk to your Travel Expert before booking with us to make sure you understand your options. More information on cancellations can also be found in our Help Centre.  

While last-minute deals do exist, it’s generally a good idea to lock in your Edinburgh accommodation sooner rather than later. Hotel availability can become limited the closer you get to your travel dates, especially if you’re visiting in summer or around popular Edinburgh events like Hogmanay on New Year’s Eve or the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August. Book nice and early to enjoy more choice and better prices! 

Flying straight into Edinburgh? Some of our stays may offer airport transfer services, but it’s important to check before you travel in case this needs to be booked separately. Click on a specific deal above for more information on hotel services and offers, or talk to your Travel Expert about arranging airport transfers (or transport to and from Edinburgh Waverley train station) for your trip. 

Sure is! Edinburgh’s compact layout means you’re never far away from popular attractions like Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Arthur’s Seat and Victoria Street. Browse our Edinburgh stays for holiday rentals in the heart of the city. 

You’ll never catch us turning down a hearty Scottish breakfast – did someone say haggis, black pudding and tatties?! Some hotels in Edinburgh include breakfast for their guests, while others may charge an additional fee. To find out if breakfast options are available at a specific hotel, click on the deal above.
