A few minutes from Haymarket Station and around ten from Princes Street, Piries Hotel is a budget Victorian property with en-suite rooms, Freeview TV, Wi-Fi and an outdoor garden.
It sits in the Haymarket area of Edinburgh’s West End, a transport hub with buses, trains, trams and the shuttle link to Edinburgh Airport.
Location & Transport
Haymarket is one of the best-connected corners of the city, which is the main reason to stay here: trains, trams and buses all meet within a couple of minutes’ walk, and the airport tram makes arrivals and departures easy. Murrayfield Stadium and other West End attractions are about a ten-minute walk, so it is a natural base for rugby and concert weekends.
Rooms & Price
The Victorian building gives the en-suite rooms a bit more character than a chain hotel, and there is a garden area to sit out in when the weather allows. Rooms come with Freeview TV and Wi-Fi. It is a straightforward, well-rated budget stay rather than a design hotel.
Who It Suits
Best for travellers who prize transport links, especially anyone heading to Murrayfield for the rugby, catching an early flight, or wanting a quick tram into the centre. It also suits visitors who like a bit of period character over modern minimalism.

- The airport tram from Haymarket makes early flights painless.

- Ask about garden-facing rooms for a quieter outlook.
- It is about a ten-minute walk or one tram stop to Princes Street.
