Tigerlily is an award-winning boutique hotel with chic rooms, an elegant bar, nightclub and a restaurant.

Lovely room and good view over the firth of forth. Breakfast service was a bit haphazard and took too long to serve. Evening meals were nothing special and not really up to standard. Reception staff were very helpful.

This small, family-run metro hotel has easy access by bus to Edinburgh city centre, less than 2 miles away. It offers free on-street parking, free WiFi, en-suite rooms and a bar.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The personnel was very friendly and helpful all the time. The breakfast was delicious. The location is good and quiet and you have very quick access to the bus station which takes you easily to the city center. The beds were comfortable and we had most of the necessary items.

University of Edinburgh

This university first opened its doors way back in 1583. Since then it has built up a vast historical archive. Stroll around the storied campus and dip into the diverse displays of its many museums. You’ll come across everything from 16th-century musical instruments to a 130,000-strong rock and fossil collection.
