Alternatives
Other hotels we have written up that may suit a different brief.
Point A Edinburgh Haymarket
- Best for
- Airport-tram and Haymarket arrivals, solo travellers, couples, short breaks and festival visits centred on the West End.
- Trade-off
- Rooms are explicitly described as compact and some bookable options may not have a window
A compact budget hotel near Haymarket with useful lounge space, airport-tram access and a direct-booking breakfast proposition.
Booking tipConfirm the exact double or twin category and whether it has a window; compare direct-member breakfast with the final flexible or non-refundable total elsewhere.
Motel One Edinburgh-Royal
- Best for
- Rail arrivals, first visits, solo travellers, couples and short stays built around central sightseeing.
- Trade-off
- Standard rooms are deliberately compact at 14 to 16 square metres
A compact budget-design hotel beside Waverley that gives short-break visitors an unusually central base without paying for a full-service luxury set-up.
Booking tipChoose the room name deliberately: The One For One is 14 square metres, The One is 16, Family One is 20, and the view category is the only one that promises a historic-centre outlook.
ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge
- Best for
- Old Town sightseeing, Waverley arrivals, travellers needing a staffed chain hotel and guests seeking a published accessible-room category.
- Trade-off
- The Old Town setting is lively and can be busy during festivals
A large economy hotel in the Old Town for travellers who want a restaurant, bar and accessible-room inventory alongside a central location.
Booking tipCompare standard and Premium rooms on the same terms, then add breakfast, nearby parking, pet charges and the visitor levy before judging the total.
