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.

    Edinburgh has a lot to offer, from Harry Potter & other series fans to History & Culture of Scotland good Museums. It's becoming to get a little bit too much crowded, mainly around Royal Mile, Castle and other like tours. There are big museums like National Museum of Scotland or Edinburgh Castle and also smaller ones like Writer's Museum or Georgian House. You can walk around the usual shopping, near Princess Street, Train Station and Bus Station but you can wonder around New Town, Dean Village, Stockbridge or Meadows areas with smaller shops and book stores. There are some traditional, not food chain pubs and good restaurants around city centre and Leith.

    Edinburgh is a very vibrant place to be with many wonderful attractions to visit including the many museum and galleries, t he Botanic gardens, the Water of Leith, Calton Hill, Holyrood and Edinburgh Castle. I think you spend a whole week there and still not visit everything that thre is to offer. There are many coffee shops and restaurants including the Mor Bakehouse, Cafe Andaluz , the Vittoria, and Balck Ivy to name a few. Have to include the Meadows and Princes Street Gardens - both perfect for relaxing on a lovely sunny day. Wahtever the weather, there is always something to do in Edinburgh.

    Love Edinburgh, however our visit was because o had to renew my Dutch passport at VFG , Dutch embassy, which took half a day. But was able to visit the National museum, if you like this sort of attractions. It's a massive museum which takes easily 3 hours to walk around in. Lots of shops, restaurants, cocktail bars and typical Scottish attractions. Edinburgh is well worth a visit We ate at Sofias restaurant, Lebanese Street food, it was delicious. Hot and fresh. China Red, okay, but declined in quality since last year. Bombay cafe, very nice Iranian curry .

    The Voco Edinburgh Haymarket hotel is a short walking distance from the Haymarket Tram and train station. Great location to get to the old Town city center of Edinburgh - within 10-15 min walk assuming you are good at following a map and can find the street names on the buildings. The staff is very friendly. Loved having a managed sit down area for breakfast. Very good selection of breakfast foods - both hot and cold. Loved having all the toiletries in large containers. You don't need to bring your own. Very comfortable room.

    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.

    Comfortable hotel in city centre and very close to the main railway station. We had a great view from the window of the old town and Edinburgh castle. We were disappointed to read some of the negative reviews and nearly cancelled, now very glad we didn’t as they were totally unfounded. Would happily stay at the Mercure again and hope to very soon. Staff were very friendly. Super weekend Thanks.

    The location in New Town by St. Andrews Square was amazing!!! We were right by a bunch of great restaurants and a Sainaburys Local. All the hop -on -hop off buses start there so that was very convenient. It was also a fairly quick walk to old town / Edinburgh Castle. The vibe of the room and the windows were great! We pretty much had everything we needed.

Also right around the corner from the stairs to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. Clear, comfy and a great way to get a good nights sleep before the long flights over the pond.
