Airport
The airport corridor is a practical base for flyers rather than sightseers. Trams run from the airport and Ingliston Park & Ride every 7 to 10 minutes and reach Princes Street in around half an hour, so the city is still easy to reach. Cheapest stay here is a budget hotel from £69 per night, with 24-hour reception suited to early departures and late arrivals.
Stays Near The Airport By Price
The cheapest stay handy for flights is the budget hotel at the Airport itself, from £69 a night, rated 4 out of 5 across 243 reviews and staffed around the clock. Along the corridor, a larger budget hotel rated 7.6 out of 10 across 9294 reviews starts at £85, and a lift-equipped alternative rated 4 out of 5 across 227 reviews starts at £87. Each listing links to the live booking page, where the rate for your dates is shown before you commit.

Match the stay to your flight time first. A 24-hour reception matters if you land late or leave before dawn, and all three corridor options have one. A lift matters with heavy bags, and only Premier Inn Edinburgh Park lists one; the ibis budget and Premier Inn Airport M9 listings show none. Prices here are low-season, midweek November guides for a double room for two adults, so read them as a floor rather than a quote.
Then think about how often you will head into the centre. The tram and frequent buses connect the airport with the city, so an evening on Princes Street is still easy, but each trip costs time and money (see Fringe Trip Costs). If your days will mostly be spent in the Old Town, a central hostel bed from £10 a night or a Haymarket budget room from £13 may work out cheaper overall than an airport rate plus daily fares. Weigh the total, not just the room price.
Booking Airport Stays
Midweek November nights bring the lowest rates, while August, Hogmanay and Six Nations weekends push prices up sharply. Book early for those peaks, because airport hotels fill with travellers facing morning flights. From-prices here are guides only, so check the live listing before committing. If your flight lands late or leaves at dawn, staying beside the runway beats a rushed cross-city journey.
