Budget hotel at 125A Princes Street in Edinburgh's New Town.

Overview

easyHotel Edinburgh sits right on Princes Street in the New Town, with the castle and Princes Gardens in view from the building. The address is 125A Princes Street, EH2 4AD, which puts guests close to the Royal Mile and the EICC on foot. Edinburgh Castle is 1312 feet away and the Royal Mile about 2297 feet, so most of the main sightseeing is within easy walking distance.

This is a budget hotel, not a hostel, so there are no dorm beds. Rooms come in two configurations, a Small Double Room and a Small Double Room without Window, each sleeping two people with a private bathroom. The bathrooms are compact shower cabins that include a toilet, towels, toilet paper and shower gel. Every room has air-conditioning, heating, under-bed luggage storage and free wifi, and the front desk is staffed around the clock.

Who It Suits

Couples or pairs travelling light will get the most from easyHotel Edinburgh, since both room types are doubles sleeping two with private bathrooms. Solo travellers who want a private room rather than a dorm, and anyone arriving late, benefit from the 24-hour front desk and a check-in window that runs to midnight. Visitors who value location over room size, given the compact dimensions implied by the room names, are also a natural fit. It may not suit pet owners, because pets are not allowed, and it will not work for families needing more than two beds.

Pets are not allowed.
