The 6 Best Hotels in Edinburgh (Updated 2025)

"Just three minutes from the popular Royal Mile, this three-star property is housed in a historic 17th-century building that’s been completely modernized; the interior is covered with funky, arty décor and lots of distinctive artwork. I like that the rooms are bright, clean, and spacious with super comfy beds; rooms include a flat-screen TV, desk, tea/coffee maker, and a rain shower with great pressure. There’s also a hearty complimentary breakfast with many options, including meat, eggs, fresh fruit, and vegetarian fare." - Matthew Kepnes
