Alternatives
Other hotels we have written up that may suit a different brief.
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.
easyHotel Edinburgh
- Best for
- Solo travellers, light-packing couples, concert or festival overnights and visitors prioritising a central address over room space.
- Trade-off
- Rooms are exceptionally small at roughly 6.5 to 8.5 square metres and all windows are sealed
A highly central, deliberately minimal budget hotel for travellers willing to exchange floor space and inclusive extras for a Princes Street address.
Booking tipRead the room name literally: small doubles are about 6.5 square metres and can be windowless; the standard window room is about 8.5 square metres. Add luggage and extra-cleaning costs before comparing.
ibis budget Edinburgh Park
- Best for
- Airport arrivals, Edinburgh Park business trips, drivers, short stopovers and families needing a published double-and-bunk triple room.
- Trade-off
- The hotel is well outside central Edinburgh and requires tram, bus, rail or taxi travel for sightseeing
A no-frills hotel near Gyle Centre tram stop that can work for airport nights, drivers and price-led stays where daily travel into central Edinburgh is acceptable.
Booking tipPrice the complete trip rather than the room alone: add tram journeys, breakfast, first-come paid parking and the time cost of returning from central Edinburgh each day.
