Room was very dated with the headboard peeling. Paint was peeling off the bathroom door and water wet the entire floor after every shower. Staff wasn’t very attentive. The location was very convenient, which is a plus.

We had s great view to Edinburgh Castle. The room was clean, basic. It was quite noisy, traffic, and people shouting, there is a pub across from the hotel. The tea and coffee station is well equipped with biscuits, hot chocolate, coffee, milk and 3 waters in the mini fridge. Good check out times ...

Enjoy gay-friendly hotels in Edinburgh


What kinds of gay-friendly hotels are there in Edinburgh?


When you're looking for gay-friendly hotels in Edinburgh, you'll find a wide variety of options to choose from. These welcoming hotels come in all shapes and sizes and offer a diverse array of amenities and special features you can enjoy. Whether you're looking for something romantic, like hotels with spa facilities, or are more interested in rooms better fit for a solo traveller or a group of friends, you'll find it here. What these hotels all have in common, though, is strict anti-discrimination policies and insight into some of the most popular LGBTQ-friendly activities available in town.


What are the best gay-friendly hotels in Edinburgh like?


The best gay-friendly hotel in Edinburgh depends on what you're looking for in accommodation. Fortunately, you can easily find what you need, thanks to the multitude of available search filters. You can filter based on amenities you may be interested in, like hot tubs or pet-friendly policies, or you can sort by star rating. You can even filter by guest reviews to show only hotels that have received predominantly high marks from previous guests. Don't forget to mark the filter for LGBTQ-friendly hotels to only show anti-discriminatory hotels in your results.


How can I find deals on Edinburgh gay-friendly hotels?


You'll find plenty of deals on gay-friendly hotels in Edinburgh. If you want to increase your chances of finding a deal, try booking your stay in the off-season when prices are usually cheaper. Additionally, think about what amenities you may be willing to go without to drive the price down even further. Of course, booking a short distance away from prominent attractions can be an easy way to save while still being close to public transport routes that can get you to the action easily. Just keep in mind that these are general trends rather than solid rules, as prices fluctuate all the time and can be difficult to predict.


Why should I book a gay-friendly hotel in Edinburgh with Expedia?


Booking with Expedia makes your holiday planning easier than ever before.
