Top Hotels Near Usher Hall in Edinburgh from AU$136

"Edinburgh hotel prices are notoriously expensive and poor value in my opinion after 50 years of staying there - but this was an exception. February meant a comfy stay for 54 quid for my wife & I. The price and location were the clinchers - the AirPort Express bus stop is right outside the hotel entrance and so is the tram stop. Haymarket rail station is right across the street. So is Ryries - one of the Scottish capital’s historic pubs - others are on the hotel’s doorstep, including its own Platform 5 bar n restaurant. Princes St is just along the road and the Royal Mile & castle are not far either. Stairs up to reception are a hassle with heavy luggage but our receptionist was good at her job & welcoming. Her offer of a room upgrade was a surprise - so instead of a windowless room we got a view of the car park - hardly the majestic castle but better than a blank wall. Our room was small for two with carryon luggage - so cramped with bigger suitcases no doubt, although there is storage under the bed. The double bed mattress was remarkably good and we had a sound night’s sleep which is top result for any hotel. As others have mentioned, the lack of a kettle to make a cuppa is a glaring omission - I’d rather have that than the complimentary hairdryer. Late checkout was complimentary with my IHG points. Skipped breakfast in the hotel cos an Italian cafe almost next door does super omelette rolls and all sorts of other goodies. A highly enjoyable stay in every way. "

"Beautiful hotel & amazing staff"

"Exquisite. I would live here if I could! The room was enormous and spotless with gorgeous views; even though I didn’t face the castle, the view was stunning. The room had soaring ceiling and windows, comfortable bed and pillows, great water pressure and heated towel rack. The staff was a delight; one concierge gave me a detailed explanation of the best route to hike Arthur’s Seat with a map to take with me, then wanted to hear all about it upon my return. I love this hotel and hope to stay again!"
