Britannia Edinburgh Hotel

3-star budget hotel on the Water of Leith with pet-friendly rooms and breakfast included

Location & Scenic Walks

Britannia Edinburgh Hotel sits on the banks of the Water of Leith, giving guests direct access to riverside walks and a small waterfall. The hotel is a 15-minute walk from Princes Street shopping and 3 km from Edinburgh Castle. While the back area currently has shipping containers, the setting provides an unexpected urban nature escape.

Accommodations & Room Features

The Edinburgh Britannia offers 223 en-suite bedrooms, each with a TV and tea/coffee making facilities. Rooms include family configurations and club rooms - some windowless options keep rates low. All rooms come with toiletries and an ironing board, and heating is manually adjustable.

Dining & Hospitality Services

A full English breakfast is included in the rate, served in the dining area that also functions as the on-site restaurant for dinner. Guests receive a complimentary welcome drink at check-in, and the bar stays open for late-evening drinks. Special diet menus are available on request, and a snack bar offers light bites throughout the day.

Pet-Friendly & Family Policies

The Britannia Hotel Edinburgh welcomes pets and provides pet baskets and bowls at no extra cost. Family rooms with multiple beds are available, and children can stay at a reduced rate in the same room. On-site parking costs £5 for 24 hours, and accessible parking spaces are reserved for guests with disabilities.

Safety & Accessibility

A 24-hour front desk with CCTV in common areas and outside the property provides round-the-clock security. The building has a lift, key card access, smoke alarms, and safety deposit boxes.
