Edinburgh lodging for 4

We are also a family of 4 travelling to Scotland this July. We got a small family room at Castleview B&B. They also have bigger family rooms. Check website if they have availability during your dates. You are getting a late start on finding accomodations during peak tourist season. We have had ours reserved since October.

We were looking for similar accommodations last June,and booked a family room (a queen and 2 single beds) at the St. Valery Guest House in the Haymarket section. It's close to the tram stop and a quick ride to the center of town. It turns out our sons didn't go with us, but the room was spacious enough if they had. Nothing spectacular, but it fit the bill.

I can recommend the Inverleith Hotel, located around the corner from the Lothian Bus stop by the Royal Botanic Garden. Not sure if they give a discount for 2 rooms, but worth asking. There are a couple of affordable restaurants within walking distance (also a coin laundry), and it's well away from the hustle & bustle of the Royal Mile.

These are great leads. Thank you so much!

We stayed at A-Haven townhouse hotel. It’s really a B&B and I believe it just added a couple more rooms. It’s not right downtown, but because a bus stop is on the corner, downtown is easy to get to.

We will be in Edinburgh in June, and found a nice Airbnb. We are 2 couples, and found several choices that were in great locations and much cheaper than nearby hotels.

we stayed in a 2 bed apartment with our kids on fish market close. Just a block from the royal mile, had a kitchen and laundry included found it on booking.com but the company was called easylet Edinburgh.
