What Guests Say About Edinburgh Hotels with AC
Edinburgh Weather Conditions - Why Air-Conditioned Hotels Matter
Edinburgh's climate is notably changeable, with summer temperatures ranging from 15-20°C (59-68°F) and occasional warm spells reaching 22-25°C (72-77°F). The city experiences unpredictable weather patterns with frequent rainfall and fluctuating humidity, making consistent comfort a valuable feature year-round.
Air conditioning offers more than temperature control—it manages the high humidity levels common in Edinburgh's rainy climate, ensures quality sleep for jet-lagged travellers navigating the city's steep hills and cobblestones, and maintains consistent comfort for guests sensitive to temperature variations. Climate control transforms your Edinburgh experience, particularly during the warmer months and unexpected weather changes.
Our selected AC-equipped hotels combine this essential amenity with prime locations near iconic landmarks like the Royal Mile, historic castles, and vibrant cultural districts, ensuring you explore Edinburgh at your best regardless of the weather outside.

It is appropriate to wear T shirts and pants in their summer, which lasts from June to August. During this period, Edinburgh celebrates 4 international festivals; namely International art Festival, Fringe festival, Military Tattoo and Book Festival. Most tourists come during this period and the hotel rates are high. Edinburgh’s autumn is from mid-August to September and it is cooler, so do remember your light jacket. From October to March comes the long winter where the temperature could go down to around -5℃. It is strongly suggested that you bring along winter clothing.

From a hotel of this level and price you expect more for breakfast. At least delicious coffee :) and a cup for toothbrushes in the bathroom would not hurt either.
By the way, about coffee - if you come at 8 am or later, then while you wait for the waiter with coffee you can sit - what prevents the hotel from installing a coffee machine so that I can serve myself is a mystery.
The location is excellent, everything is within walking distance.
The room is large, the height of the ceilings causes a wow effect :) the bed is beyond praise.
There is a gym, a swimming pool, a spa and even a yoga mat and scales in the room - I did not use any of the above :))
They ask for a deposit of 150 pounds upon check-in. You would think that they have crooks living here and I will run away without paying.
In general, considering the price, I would think twice - maybe there is cheaper nearby, but not much worse.
The restaurant across the road Kyole is simply brilliant! I recommend 👍 and a little further, but also a minute's walk away, a good shop of kilts and traditional clothes, not a souvenir shop like on the Royal Mile.
We went to the airport by bus number 100, very convenient, the bus stop is two minutes from the entrance to the hotel, the stop at the airport is right opposite the entrance, the price for two with luggage is 11 pounds, inside there is a place to put bags. We got there in 30 minutes. Everything is convenient and fast.From€338

The location is fantastic! Princes Street is right around the corner if you turn right, and Calton Hill steps are just a short walk to the left. The front desk upgraded our room, which had a huge bed and was very clean. Breakfast is ordered to-go and can take a while, so if you're in a hurry, go early. There's a Chinese restaurant to the right when you exit that's pretty good, but it's often packed with tour groups, so it's best to book in advance.From€225

Lovely hotel in Hollyrood, Edinburgh. Not too far from the centre or masses of places to eat.
Staff were fantastic, especially during a really busy period with high expectations from tourists to the area as well.
I was travelling alone, but made to feel very welcome especially in the restaurant and bar. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Just what you need to help with your stay.
Leisure facilities were good, however, the pool area could do with a wee face lift and the addition of a steam room or jacuzzi would be beneficial for the size of/ use of the hotel. I had a hot stone massage and it was lovely and relaxing.
Shout out to Katie at the spa, Jack and John in the restaurant and the lovely gentleman who che led me in at reception.
Definitely a second stay coming up for me.From€225

The breakfast was incredibly rich, with a wide variety of drinks, bread, sausages, bacon, cereals, and fruits – definitely filling. The location is a tiny bit out of the way, but we took the local train to the city center every day. It's a convenient 12-minute ride from Haymarket Station to Waverley Station. The room was spacious, though the facilities were a little dated. Overall, it was a good stay.From€128

A lovely hotel with a luxurious feel to it. Great service from staff even when we had an issue it was sorted swiftly and professionally. Both the restaurant and the bar, which also served food was excellent and staff everywhere were very attentive and courteous. It would be a good idea to offer the reduced breakfast rate when hotel guests change their mind for their whole stay not just on the day they check in as plans can change as tourists to Edinburgh, especially with the weather being so hit & miss! Especially if they call ahead to book a breakfast. The location of the hotel just steps away from the foot of the Edinburgh Castle is perfect and walking distance to most places. The pool is fantastic but once again, when at the pool, guests may change their mind and want to visit the spa facilities so it may be a good idea to offer an hour option for those wishing to do this. This would benefit both hotel and guests. A great hotel and I would highly recommend.From€397

The hotel is perfectly situated right on the Royal Mile – the location is absolutely superb! It's just an 8-minute walk from the train station. Be aware that there are some steps along the route, which might be a bit of a workout if you're carrying heavy suitcases.
It's a very family-friendly hotel. The bedroom has a large bed, and the living room sofa converts into a double bed, comfortably accommodating two adults and two children. Our room was incredibly clean, newly renovated, and surprisingly quiet. Even though the Royal Mile is bustling with street performers and activities, we couldn't hear any noise from our room at all.
Having amenities like a washing machine and oven in the room was a huge plus. Just a note: toothpaste, toothbrushes, and slippers aren't provided as standard. We brought our own dental kit, so we only needed to ask the front desk for slippers.
Breakfast is served à la carte; you order what you like, and top-ups are available if you're still hungry. Edinburgh Castle is a mere 5-minute walk to the right from the hotel's entrance, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby – incredibly convenient!From€487

The room was incredibly spacious, with a separate living room. I'd definitely want to stay here long-term if I visit Scotland again. The room was very quiet, and the living room sofa converts into a bed. All the appliances were high-end brands like Dyson and Smeg. The only downside was the lack of on-site parking. There's an NCP car park under the bridge a bit further down, costing around £25 per night. The hotel is very close to the castle, about a 5-minute walk, and about 10 minutes from the city center. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, which is very convenient.From€231

Amazing stay experience at the Ten Hill Place Hotel. I was on a trip with my mother. The staff here made our stay, checking in & out and the whole experience very easy and smooth. We did have some issues in our bathroom which was dealt with promptly by their staff. The place is very conveniently located near the center with major attractions just walks away like the royal mile, victoria street, princes street, castle and the scott monument. If you wish to travel by bus there is a bus stop just 2 mins away as well. We found lidl, sainsbury and some affordable food options just near the hotel. Although the hotel also offers their restaurant with amazing food. Our room had scenic mountain & city landscape views. Overall a very beautiful and convenient stay for people travelling or looking to explore Edinburgh. Highly recommend!!From€144

The location of this hotel is just on the border of the city centre, so it feels a lot quieter compared to right on the High Street.
My room was a windowless Queen Room, with plenty of storage space for 2 people. I quite like the design of the room, where 1 side of the room is the washing facilities.
Unfortunately, the night when I stayed, there were many loud door slamming during the night. I've got woken up many times.
I had the breakfast downstairs at around 9:30am, and it closes at 10am. The hot food was very dry, so probably been sitting around for some time. If I stay here again, I would go elsewhere for breakfast.From€185

The hotel is very close to the University of Edinburgh, just a 3-minute walk away. It's a 10-minute walk to Waverley Station if you don't have luggage and can use the main stairs, but if you have heavy bags, it's about a 20-minute walk over the bridge. Rooms are not available until after 3 PM. The room size is small, the bathroom is tiny, and the room cleanliness is average, with dirty floors. The front desk staff were friendly and check-in was quick. Breakfast is served on the third floor, a standard English breakfast with decent quality dishes.From€170

Traveled with my wife and our 10-year-old kid. The location was superb, right in the heart of town—near Scott Monument and directly in front of Victoria Garden.
The hospitality was top-notch, especially in the F&B department. A waitress from Asia (likely Nepal) was exceptionally professional and friendly.
An amazing place to stay with family & friends—highly recommended!From€428

As a location, I think this is a very nice hotel to stay in; however, for a 5-star hotel, I expected a much higher level of service.
We were disappointed by several issues during our stay. First, housekeeping knocked on our door around 8 a.m., waking us up to ask if we needed cleaning. We requested the service, but when we returned to our room around 3 p.m., it had not been cleaned. Even after we went out to dinner and returned later that evening, the room was still not cleaned.
Additionally, while my friend and I were resting in the room, the door had not been closed properly and was slightly open. A hotel staff then opened the door without knocking, which made us feel very uncomfortable.
Another issue occurred when my friend ordered food via Deliveroo. The order was marked as delivered, but we could not find it. We asked the lobby ambassador for assistance, but she was not helpful at all. We eventually found the order ourselves, placed on the concierge desk.
Overall, the service from the staff was very disappointing and felt cold and unwelcoming. While I would recommend the hotel for its location, the level of service was far below what I would expect from a 5-star hotel.From€294

I can only say that I love and hate this hotel. I had a bad stay experience. Can you believe I spent 2,700 yuan to book a room in the basement? !
The pictures of the hotel room are seriously inconsistent with the reality. When booking, I noticed that the pictures of ordinary room types may be underground, so I specially booked a room type one level higher (the corresponding pictures on Ctrip also showed normal windows and floors), but when I arrived at the hotel, I was still arranged in the basement. The hotel manager explained that their rooms were not divided into floors, and after all the rooms upstairs were arranged that day, they arranged a room on the ground floor for us.
Living underground was really unacceptable, so I had to accept the manager's recommendation and upgrade to a top-floor room for an additional 80 pounds.
Environment: As shown in the picture, the view from the upgraded room is really great. The hotel is about a 20-minute walk from important attractions such as Princes Street and the Castle. The location is slightly far, but acceptable.
Facilities: The room facilities are generally good. The hotel environment is very classic and well maintained. There is a parking lot at the back door, which is quite convenient.
Hygiene: It may be that we changed rooms temporarily. After checking in, we found that the bathroom must have been used by someone, and there was also a used razor in the trash can. I wonder if the cleaning staff threw it away...
Therefore, if you want to check in, it is recommended to determine the room type and floor in advance.From€315

The hotel is located not far from the throne of Arthur and is a historic manor. There is its own beautiful lawn and Scottish Highland cattle to take pictures. The decoration in the hotel is beautiful, very careful, and they are all historical relics. The fly in the ointment is that the room is small, but the bed is very comfortable. The hotel's restaurant is also a well-rated English restaurant. You can try it.From€505

The mini-bar was stocked with beer, sodas, cocktails, and various snacks. The bed was super comfortable! Our room had a view of The Balmoral Hotel. Breakfast was amazing: there was a buffet with delicious options and the ability to order from a menu, including a traditional Scottish breakfast, Eggs Benedict with salmon, and more.

Ideal location within budget
I used to study in Edinburgh uni and my student hall is right opposite - that’s why we chose here
The value is pretty good but I won’t give it 10/10 Here are the reasons
1. The towels have fluff coming out all the time
2. Bathroom hand wash sink doesn’t go down properly
3. Shower pressure fairly low
4!! The WiFi!! There’s barely any connection within our room. The 5G got down to 4G on 1-2 bar so even we use our own data is very slow…
The wifi gets way better in the Lobby and in public corridors but who wants to chill in the lobby after a whole day of walking…
My husband got severe dry eye symptoms at the end of the trip (it may not have something to do with the hotel but he wakes up every single night)
The hotel has very good amenities that benefits every member who stays. but within the room i can always figure out something that doesn’t match up the 4star hotel standard things.From€241

We only stayed for one night and I had a great price deal as well. Based on price, everything was great. Matress was comfortable. I didnt mind, but for light sleeper could be important. In our room curtains weren't blackout, but we needed to up early anyway. And pipes in the bathroom.were particularly noisy. Even during the night time. The rest was great.

The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, and I had the chance to see both the pre-renovation and post-renovation rooms. There's a significant difference. The older rooms were just 'okay,' but the renovated ones are absolutely beautiful, on par with five-star hotels in China. The location is fantastic, right next to the large green spaces of the University of Edinburgh, and many attractions are within walking distance. Plus, there are plenty of Chinese restaurants nearby. My only minor disappointment is that the hotel kitchen only has a microwave, no induction hob, so you can't really cook for yourself.From€242
