With views towards Edinburgh Castle and Princes Street Gardens, easyHotel Edinburgh sits in the New Town, close to the West End.
Rooms are deliberately compact, each with a private shower cabin and the essentials, plus air conditioning and Wi-Fi.
Location & Transport
The New Town location keeps you within a few minutes’ walk of Princes Street, the gardens and the West End, with the tram and bus links for the airport close by. It is central enough that you can leave the car behind and explore the main sights on foot.
Rooms & Price
This is the no-frills, lowest-price end of the market: rooms are small and pared back, but you get a private shower, air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and some enjoy views over the Castle and gardens. Extras are charged as add-ons, which is how the headline nightly rate stays so low.
Who It Suits
Ideal for budget-focused couples and solo travellers who plan to be out sightseeing all day and just need a clean, central place to sleep for as little as possible. If you want space, a restaurant or a lounge to linger in, look higher up this list.
Practical Tips
- Book only the extras you need; the low rate is based on a stripped-back room.
- Request a Castle or gardens-facing room when you reserve.
- Rooms are small, so travel light for a comfortable stay.
- You are minutes from Princes Street on foot, so skip the car.
- Rates rise fast during the Fringe, so book early for August.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is easyHotel Edinburgh really cheap?

Do easyHotel Edinburgh rooms have Castle views?
Some do. The hotel’s New Town position means certain rooms look out towards Edinburgh Castle and Princes Street Gardens, so it is worth requesting a view room when you book.
