The en-suite shower rooms include a WC, a wash basin, a shower, body wash, and shampoo. Fresh towels are provided. Room cleaning is available for £10.

Things To Do

Edinburgh Castle is a 10-minute walk from easyHotel Edinburgh. Other attractions nearby include the Royal Mile, Edinburgh's Old Town, and Holyrood Palace, each 15 minutes away. The hotel is near festivals such as The Edinburgh Fringe and Military Tattoo in August, and Hogmanay in December. Pack your comfy trainers, a walk to Arthur's seat will take you 1 hour.

Transportation

The hotel is 15 km from Edinburgh Airport. The bus departs from the airport every 10 minutes during the day (04:30 - 01:00) and every 30 minutes during the night (01:00 - 04:30) Monday to Sunday. Trams run from York Place from 5:29 am until 11:08 pm. The first tram leaves from the airport at 6:15 am and the last one leaves at 10:45 pm. Trams operate every 8 - 10 minutes from Monday to Saturday and every 12 - 15 minutes on Sunday. Waverley station is a 10-minute walk from the Hotel.

“Easyhotel Edinburgh's location is undeniably a draw, placing you within a reasonable walk of the city's attractions and numerous dining options, particularly appealing if you're traveling solo. However, be prepared for extremely compact rooms; space is at a premium, and prior guests have pointed out issues with cleanliness and maintenance, including mold. If your priority is simply a budget-friendly base in a central spot and you're willing to overlook these drawbacks, it could suffice.”
