Village Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Pretty good location but not right in the centre of the city. Hotel room was good. Size and cleanliness both good. Used the gym and the restaurant. Good on both. Not sure if there are other places to eat nearby but we had full busy days and had eaten at a couple of restaurants in town so just for convenience the one at the hotel was really welcome after a long (enjoyably so) day out. Not the cheapest place but good value. Breakfast was the only thing I thought was a bit of a disappointment. Just not as much choice and what was there was in short supply. But a basic cereal and yogurt plus toast was sufficient."

This period is ideal for exploring key landmarks, historical sites, museums, tours, festivals, shopping destinations, art galleries, theatres, monuments, and enjoying the company of friendly locals, ensuring great value for money while delving into the city's rich cultural heritage.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: For your trip to Edinburgh, you may discover savings by browsing the DealsOpens in a new window section on Hotels.com, where discounted rates on hotels near your travel dates could be available. Check the Last-Minute Deals area to potentially secure a spontaneous getaway with special offers. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature on the app is a useful comparison tool to help travellers assess hotel prices and amenities efficiently, ensuring you stay informed on flash sales and price updates.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary according to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so being flexible with your dates could help you save on your Edinburgh hotel stay. For those seeking unique accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may sometimes offer better value.
