Brooks Hotel Edinburgh  

Tucked into Edinburgh’s Victorian district near Tollcross, this independent townhouse hotel sits a short walk from the heart of the city. You’re minutes from Princes Street, the Grassmarket and the Royal Mile, an easy stroll to Edinburgh Castle and just a few steps from the Edinburgh International Conference Centre — ideal for budget-friendly stays and group bookings.

A striking Victorian façade hides a sleek, modern interior with designer furniture and clean, contemporary lines. Rooms are simple yet stylish, with flat-screen TVs, desks and private bathrooms finished in Parisien Metro tiles. Many bathrooms feature Hansgrohe power showers; the property also offers a peaceful courtyard garden and a modern lounge for after-hours drinks.

Standout perks include a quiet courtyard garden, a chill modern lounge, 24-hour front desk service and an elevator. Wake up to calm courtyard mornings and comfortable rooms equipped with complimentary Wi‑Fi, in-room kettles, toiletries and hair dryers.

Good for business travellers: rooms have desks, complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected, and the Edinburgh International Conference Centre is a very short walk away.

Start smart with a cooked-to-order full Scottish breakfast each morning. The modern lounge is a handy spot for a chilled drink after a day exploring the city.
