Mercure Edinburgh City - Princes Street Hotel, hotel in Edinburgh

On Princes Street, opposite the Scott Monument and National Gallery, Mercure Edinburgh City - Princes Street Hotel has an excellent location, a friendly atmosphere and views of Edinburgh Castle.

The location of the Mecure Edinburgh City-Princes Street Hotel was perfect . We were close to everywhere we wanted to go by walking and the train station made it convenient for us to travel out of town on different adventures. Kimberly at the front reception desk was wonderful. She really tried to make our stay a memorable one. The entire staff was kind and more than just nice. The service was very good. The dining staff was attentive and we looked forward to the breakfast each day. We intend to stay at the Mecure Hotel on Princes Street again.

FAQs about hotels in Edinburgh









A Feast for the Senses

A city of heritage, heart and of course Hogmanay, Scotland’s capital is vibrant and edgy. Whether or not you come for one of its many festivals, Edinburgh is quite simply a feast for the senses.

The wealth of Edinburgh sights ranges from Holyrood Palace to the Botanical Gardens, Princes Street to the Royal Mile. Overseeing them all is majestic Edinburgh Castle. Be there at sunset on a clear day to see the city below bathed in a warm, orange glow. Simply stunning.

Wandering the streets, the smell of fish and chips wafts by, with the unique twist of salt ‘n’ sauce – a must-try variation on this favourite dish. Follow it up with a smooth whisky and you’ll start to feel like a local.

For a taste of Scottish culture, a kilt-wearing busker often plays the bagpipes on Waverley Bridge, while traditional folk music can be heard in some Old Town pubs. Complete your stay with a rugby match at Murrayfield or a round at one of the city’s 14 golf clubs, and you’ll have the true Edinburgh experience.

Whether you are looking for hotels near Edinburgh Airport or accommodations in the city center, Booking.com has a great range to choose from.

    Eerything was great - a lot of locations to visit, mixture of hills and sea views with many monuments and castles. Different tours to choose from and day trips as well are really good option. The only not so possitive thing were the prices which were more expensive in Edinburgh compared to other cities we have been to and not to forget - haggis - you will either love it or hate it, but def. everyone should try it at least once.

    The tourist trap areas can be full of luggage and busy but there are pretty laneways and shops to be found and this adds a nice vibe, however finding cafes and pubs around newington and the meadows just off the beaten path was even nicer. Strolls along the river path to slightly lesser known Dean village and the galleries was stunning, and hikes up and around Arthur’s seat and the crags is a nice way to spend an afternoon.

    You have to check in at the pub, which is only around the corner from the hotel. Absolutely loved the staff! They were ever so accommodating, especially with complimentary drinks at arrival. Loved the location with it being a good walk to Edinburgh City Centre - where there was a plethora of independent cafes and bakeries selling all sorts of goodies. When you're done exploring Edinburgh, then the bed doesn't go amiss, along with the en suite facility. To reiterate, a great family owned establishment at a great location.

    The location is perfect when you want to explore the city centre of Edinburgh. The breakfast is a buffet where you can find croissants, muffins, all different types of drinks, eggs, bacon and sausages, to summarize a full breakfast. They do vegetarian options as well. The staff was very helpful. If you drive to the hotel, there is a parking nearby. There was a daily discount offered by the hotel. I definitely recommend staying at the Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Royal Mile Hotel.

    Our favorite hotel of our trip! The staff was so friendly, the room extremely spacious, the beds were comfortable and the bedding warm on some very cold Scottish nights. We also really enjoyed the breakfast each morning. A great location to be near both the tram and train station as well as the Tesco and restaurants near by. A little outside of New Town/Old Town but the tram was a 7 minute commute.
