Accommodation Suggestions

Edinburgh is well-served for accommodation, though note that during the festival season in August it can become considerably more expensive and difficult to book.

In case we do not conduct the booking on your behalf, here are a few suggestions for your consideration. Please note, if you see a 'J' it means the accommodation is in walking distance (ca 20 minutes) from the James Clerk Maxwell Building, if designated with a 'C' it is more central and close to the central campuses. Note, central accommodation is only a short bus ride from JCMB. The ROE is close to JCMB, however, there is a hill to walk up.

Note, these are suggestions based on past experiences, we do not have contracts with any of these hotels and cannot guarantee your satisfaction. However, we try to adjust these lists based on informal feedback from visitors and delegates.
