City Hotel Edinburgh

Great location, 5-10 minutes from the Conference Center and 15-20 minutes from the Royal Mile. Great value for the price!

The Dome Bar and Grill is a very attractive spot for a drink or dinner. It was in new town on George Street.

Good!

My room was a little bit on the small side, but other than that it was very cozy, the bed was comfortable, and it was a nice quiet and relaxing stay. The hotel staff were all friendly and efficient. The location is slightly off the royal mile, and that was pretty nice because I was close enough to everything but also not in a noisy area. I would definitely stay there again!

A good option for the old town

Reception staff friendly, comfortable and spacious room and a reasonable price, only a short walk from the old town centre. Breakfast was nothing special, but there are loads of good cafes within 10 mins walk. I would definitely return.
