Best Hotels Near Edinburgh Airport

Edinburgh Airport at a glance

Single-terminal layout. Tram service runs into central Edinburgh in 30 minutes for a flat fare; the Airlink 100 bus is faster (25 min) and covers more drop-off points.

If you'd rather stay in town the night before and tram out in the morning, the Old Town and Haymarket make sensible bases — both within 10 minutes of a tram stop.
