The Gifford
"Nestled just over a mile from Edinburgh’s bustling Princes Street, The Gifford offers a tranquil escape in the heart of the city. With direct bus routes right outside the door, reaching the historic Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, or Waverley Station couldn’t be easier.
This charming Victorian townhouse combines traditional character with spacious, modern comfort. Every room is thoughtfully designed to ensure a restful stay, guests can enjoy plush bedding, free Wi-Fi, and immaculate bathrooms. To the rear of the property, many rooms boast breathtaking views of Salisbury Crags and the iconic Arthur’s Seat.
We operate as a self-service hotel with fully digital check-in, giving you the freedom to arrive at your convenience and enjoy a seamless stay from start to finish.
Recognised with a 4-Star Gold Award from VisitScotland, The Gifford stands out for its attention to detail, cleanliness, and guest satisfaction. Free limited on-street parking is available, a rare perk in central Edinburgh and Holyrood Park, local golf courses, and independent cafés are all just a short stroll away.
