Edinburgh Stay Hacks

Planning a trip to Edinburgh? Here are some practical tips to enhance your stay and discover the city's hidden treasures.

Fast Fact: Did you know? Approximately 75% of Edinburgh's hotels are within a 10-minute walk of a main attraction, such as the stylish Motel One Edinburgh-Royal, which sits just steps away from the iconic Royal Mile.

Local Hack: For a treat, book directly with your hotel; many offer complimentary Scottish shortbread cookies upon check-in, giving you a taste of local flavor.
