The MacDonald Holyrood Hotel
Getting to the Holyrood Hotel
The Holyrood Hotel is located at the foot of the Royal Mile. This means that access from the hotel to Edinburgh City Centre is made by walking uphill which can be problematic for some tourists. See MacDonald Holyrood Hotel reservations for instant availability and bookings.
Fortunately there is a bus going up and down the Royal Mile, the 35. In the near future, the Edinburgh City Council will introduce an express shuttle service from Waverley Train Station for Members of Parliament and tourists going to visit the Parliament.

Take the shuttle express from the airport to Waverley Bridge. Walk in the direction of the Balmoral Hotel -- the building with the impressive clock tower -- than make a right onto North Bridge until reaching the Royal Mile. Walk down on the Royal Mile until reaching the first bus stop and take the 35 bus.
