Deciding on accommodation in Edinburgh .
Need centrally located so not too much walking.
Will be going on one tour excursion and staying for 4 days.in June
Leaving a car at Edinburgh airport and transport into city?
Our Choices Motel One Princess St or Hotel Du Vin Old town
Any suggestions. We are 70 yr olds.
Thx
Both good but very different. Motel One is a German (?) chain noted for very clean crisp design, very much the same at every hotel. Very reliable but not luxury. I like them a lot.
Hotel du Vin is more characterful and a bit more upmarket. I’ve not stayed there but I’ve heard good things.
Both locations are good - the centre of Edinburgh is pretty small.
So really it’s a choice about what kind of vibe you like in a hotel.
I have the Motel One Princess St booked for my upcoming trip. The location is great and it’s been recommended here on the forum numerous times.
It’s easy to take the tram from the airport to the city center. I purchased the adult airport open return ticket ahead of time on my previous trip and will do that again.
