2 night stay in Edinburgh

sammylou100

Hi all! My boyfriend was one of the unlucky people trapped in a train for hours a few weeks ago & as a result the train company have provided us with a couple of free train tickets, so we have decided to visit Edinburgh. I have never been to Scotland before so would like a bit of hotel advice please, we will be doing some sightseeing bits, definitely the Castle & hopefully a whisky tasting sesh! I would also like to be near the shops in the city centre. We have quite a small budget of £50 (for the room) per night, I have seen the Best Western Edinburgh City Hotel which I think might be the best option, but could anyone tell me whether this is near enough to the main attractions (and whether its a nice hotel?!) or if not where else might be an option? I do not want to stay in a hostel and would like at least 3*s (don't want much huh?!)
Thank you in advance for any info. :):)

Oops, would help if I told you when I am going! 20th - 21st of Feb.

Apex European near Haymarket Station is going at £98 for two nights - room rate only. Go onto Apex Hotel and then BWIN01 as your promo code or go into the winter sale page.

Hilton were giving 50% reduction for weekends but Ive just gone to book for early June and they have sold out. Worth a try though if you are flexible for dates.

Oh, glad I looked on here, just got a family size room at the new central travelodge for £50 for two nights in mid June

I went with the Best Western in the end which was coming up at just £80 for the 2 nights, annoyingly right after I booked it I got emailed a discount code for 10% off lastminute hotels booking from vouchercodes! Its LMNVL10 in case any of you can make use of it!

Have a look on the travelodge website kath, to see which dates are still available. Mid week is coming up on the cheap rates.

we stayed at the travelodge on belford road which was within easy walking distance of town. have a look at the edinbugh passes for sale online too they saved us a good bit of money on attactions and the castle is also cheaper if you book your ticket for there in advance . there are also lots of nice B and B's there, try beresford crescent and that area. have a lovely time!!

Ive booked the new travelodge in Waterloo Place - it looks very central and has great reviews on trip advisor. And for £25 a room a night .....................:)
