Village Hotel Edinburgh

A modern 120-room hotel on Crewe Road South in north-west Edinburgh, with a swimming pool, a large gym, an all-day Pub & Grill and an on-site Starbucks. It is outside the centre, so it best suits drivers, business travellers and anyone who wants a pool after a day of sightseeing.

Rooms and food

Rooms are en suite with air conditioning and flat-screen TVs, and wifi is free throughout. The Village Pub & Grill serves food all day, and there is a Starbucks in the lobby for coffee on the way out. Meeting rooms make it a common choice for work trips. The bistro-style Pub & Grill uses local produce and keeps healthier options on the menu alongside the burgers and grills.

Pool and gym

The hotel's leisure club, Village Gym, has an indoor pool, sauna and steam room, plus a well-equipped gym with cardio and strength machines. Guest access to the leisure club may carry an extra charge, so check when you book. The gym is unusually large for a hotel, with more than 20 cardio machines and a free-weights area, which suits guests who want to keep a routine on the road.

Getting around

The hotel has plenty of parking, which is rare in Edinburgh. The castle is roughly 3 km away and Edinburgh Airport about 10 km, so it works as a base if you are heading in and out of the city by car. The Royal Botanic Garden is the closest big sight, under 2 km away, and Dean Village is a pleasant walk south. Murrayfield Stadium and the EICC are both under 3 km away, which helps on match and conference days.
