Good accomodation friendly and efficient staff weather ok. The attractions were good saw the castle, museum, water of leith and princes gardens.

3 nights and 4 days in Edinburgh fab.

Can thoroughly recommend the travelodge central - lives up to it's name and the best travelodge i've stayed in so far. Disappointed by stac polly restaurant across the road - expensive and tiny portions. The waitress was delightful though, and the food beautifully cooked, although i was not too keen on my rare to the point of blue duck starter being cold. And they charged for the bread when we asked for some - unbelievable! spent nearly 2 hours on the royal yacht britannia - excellent, and so easy to get to by bus on the royal mile, just around the corner from the hotel. Make sure you buy some hot scotch pies from gregg's at ocean terminal when you arrive - to die for! so pleasantly surprised by the camera obscura next to the castle - great hands-on experience - and not just for kids! a lovely 4-day break - just wish the hotel bar didn't stay open so late so we could have got up earlier in the morning - teehee! :-).

We stayed at the travelodge, which had a perfect location on st marys street, just off the royal mile, but the room was somewhat noisy with city traffic, however the room was very spacious and the breakfast was good value. All the attractions, except the britannia were within walking distance and considering august is very busy with the fringe and tattoo, queues were minimal. Car parking at the travelodge was £10 for 24 hours which was cheaper than most city centre car parks. The britannia is well worth visiting however the directions are not as visible as you would think. Overall edinburgh is a great place to visit and we will be going back soon.

My fiance and I went to Edinburgh for a second time in june after getting engaged there in november. We would recommend getting a fairly early train so that you could fully enjoy the time we had. We booked our tickets for the attractions online so as to save some money (approx. Half the cost). The dungeons were absolutely fantastic, the actors were engaging and all of the staff were excellent. Highly recommend the city sightseeing bus tour, ticket lasts 24 hours and you can hop on and off as you please. The castle was fabulous, very interesting and there are some stunning views. The museum of childhood is a free museum, and its great to do some reminiscing. The real mary kings close is a very good attraction, really insightful and educational. Would recommend good sturdy shoes for any visit to edinburgh. Stayed in the edinburgh central travelodge, and it is really central, just off the royal mile. We thoroughly loved our stay, just as we enjoyed our last visit in november.
