10/10 Excellent
"First Class experience from start to finish! The Virgin company, hands down, knows what they are doing when it comes to travel and hospitality, coming from someone who was once an executive of a 5 star luxury brand. Virgin Edinburgh was such a vibe. The whole aesthetic is sexy, sultry and ever so inviting. You are immersed in intrigue at every turn with the eccentric decor and vibrancy of color throughout the hotel. The staff, First Class from the moment we were greeted at the door, to check-in, the bar and each restaurant, to the housekeeping staff, excellence every step of the way. This brand does not miss a beat. We were celebrating two momentous occasions; 30 years married and my 50th Birthday and the thoughtful gestures extended were immensely appreciated by both myself and my husband. The hotel manager, unfortunately I didn’t get his name, even went as far as looking through several cases of whiskey just to find the certain numbered bottle my husband was looking to purchase. That in itself, to the extra mile, was above and beyond. Throughout our stay, there were so many of these little gestures that made my heart pitter patter and solidified my loyalty not only to this hotel in future travels but to the brand itself, Virgin. This company knows what personality makes the brand successful. Perfect location! Near Royal Mile & Victoria St. It’s on the higher price point but you get what you pay for. Book it! You won’t regret it!"

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Edinburgh is from January to March, when hotel prices are typically lower. For a comprehensive experience of the city’s historical landmarks and cultural offerings, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During your visit, you can explore impressive sites like Edinburgh Castle, numerous museums, and vibrant festivals, all providing great value for money. You’ll also have the chance to enjoy the local art scene, theatre performances, and friendly interactions with the people, making your trip both enriching and affordable.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To explore last-minute deals to Edinburgh, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute DealsOpens in a new window section on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches.

For those seeking unique experiences, boutique hotels often provide a more personalized touch and can sometimes offer better value.

Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with Edinburgh's outstanding public transit options, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that’s still well connected. For those interested in exploring alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby cities, there is often great value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
