Budget hotel in Edinburgh's New Town, with double rooms from £99 a night.

Overview

Travelodge Edinburgh Central Waterloo Place occupies a stone building at 17 Waterloo Pl, in the New Town area of Edinburgh. The address sits a short walk from Waverley station, roughly a few minutes on foot by straight-line estimate. It is a budget hotel in the chain mould: simple rooms, custom-designed beds, and the basics covered rather than extras included.

The property lists a 24 hour front desk, vending machines, and rooms with private bathrooms, either a shower or a bathtub depending on the room. Guests arriving by car can use parking for an extra charge, and pets are allowed for a fee. Wi-Fi and breakfast both carry extra charges too, so the room rate alone will not cover them. The position near Calton Hill, mentioned in the property's own description, puts one of the city's hilltop viewpoints within easy reach.

Who It Suits

This stay suits travellers who want a chain hotel room with a private bathroom and a bed they can rely on, without paying for included extras they may not use. The 24 hour front desk helps anyone arriving late or leaving early for a train from nearby Waverley. Pet owners can bring an animal for a charge. It may not suit anyone expecting Wi-Fi and breakfast in the room rate, since both are charged separately here.
