Hotels in Princes Street, Edinburgh

Located in the centre of Edinburgh, just a few minutes’ walk from the Royal Mile and 650 yards of The Real Mary King's Close, Market Street forms part of Edinburgh’s historic skyline. First, the location was perfect for our stays. We used the trains several times and loved that our walk to the station was less than 3 minutes. Second, the rooms (we had 2 different rooms) were quiet and dark (which we have at home and love); third, the rooftop bar/breakfast area was extraordinary! Fourth, the thoughtfulness in the design of the rooms did not go unnoticed - reading lights bedside, charging areas next to bedside, the solid wood door that slides to block daylight, the complimentary refreshments in the drawer, the hair dryer and straightening iron, robes and slippers. Lastly, it's a testament to the bedding and linens - my husband and I slept great, and that never happens at a hotel. We loved our stay!

Located on Princes Street, The Balmoral has a 4 AA Rosette restaurant, a pool and a gym. Waverley Station and Edinburgh's main shopping area are within 5 minutes' walk. Staff, location and housekeeping in particular, the best team 👍

The glamorous Rutland Hotel has stylish rooms, a luxurious late-lounge, and a unique restaurant with a glass wine cellar. 2/19 Apartment was beautiful, very spacious with high ceilings, huge rooms and tastefully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and the ensuite was also very spacious with a great rainshower. The apartment was centrally located at the West End close to public transport, a couple of minutes walk to Princes Street and walking distance to The Grassmarket, the Royal Mile and the Castle. We took advantage of the 20% off breakfast at the Huxley which was lovely. I loved this apartment!

Featuring a fitness centre, a terrace as well as a bar, Gleneagles Townhouse is set in the centre of Edinburgh, 400 metres from Edinburgh Waverley station. Everything was great, especially the staff was so lovely. They clearly cared a lot about us and even anticipated our needs. I definitely recommend there.

The Witchery by the Castle offers a range of opulent suites in Edinburgh, each one unique with its own special features. I surprised my husband for our 16years anniversary and it was all that I expected. We had an incredible time and everything was perfect. The breakfast in room was delicious, dinner was great too. The staff was also very friendly. We can’t wait to come back :)

Conveniently set in the centre of Edinburgh, YOTEL Edinburgh provides air-conditioned rooms, a fitness centre, free WiFi and a restaurant. This 4-star hotel offers a bar. Breakfast was perfect.

In the heart of Edinburgh, a 5-minute walk from Waverley Rail Station, 28 York Place Hotel offers a lounge bar, free WiFi and bedrooms with views. Great location - walking distance from Waverly Train station. When we booked, I was worried that we'd be too far from the Old Town section of Edinburgh - but this was perfectly located in New Town - tons of excellent restaurants yet easy walk to Old Town neighborhood. There was a comedy club across the street which was fun, plus an outdoor shopping center/mall with a movie theater just across the street. The beds were very comfortable, and we even had a bath tub. Our window, which looked out towards the north, even opened - which was welcome! All of the staff were knowledgeable and helpful, but special shout-out to Jaime who helped us find everything we needed, including a COVID testing site the day before we traveled back to US. The majority of hotels in Scotland do not have elevators - so we were prepared for our two flights to walk up - but Jaime carried our luggage for us and so really didn't matter. Really nice little hotel - out of tourist area but close to everything. Note - as others recommended, make sure you leave the train station on "Princes St" as its a very large train station and easy walk to hotel from the correct exit.
