Salisbury Green Hotel

Salisbury Green Hotel is a Georgian mansion at 26 Dalkeith Road in Edinburgh's Southside, Scotland, set in its own grounds near Holyrood Park. Dalkeith Road is one of the city's main bus corridors, with frequent services running north to the Old Town, South Bridge and Princes Street, so the Royal Mile is roughly 15 to 20 minutes away by bus. Arthur's Seat and the entrance to Holyrood Park are a short walk, and the Royal Commonwealth Pool, the Meadowbank area and the Queen's Drive paths are close by, making the hotel appealing to walkers and families. The mansion retains period features, and its traditional style contrasts with the modern chain hotels elsewhere in the city. Rooms include Standard Doubles, Twin Rooms, Superior Rooms and Family Rooms, with typical nightly rates of about £90 to £220. The hotel has a bar and dining area, a garden, and free on-site parking, which is a useful advantage for visitors travelling by car or touring Scotland by road. Breakfast and evening meals are available on site, and the nearby Newington and Dalkeith Road areas add cafes, pubs and restaurants within walking distance. The service character is that of a traditional, owner-style hotel rather than a corporate operation, suiting couples, families and visitors who prefer a quieter residential area to the crowds of the Old Town. Because the hotel is on the Southside, it is well placed for travellers who want to hike up Arthur's Seat in the morning and take a bus into the centre for sightseeing. Visitors without a car should check bus times for late-evening returns, though taxis are inexpensive over this short distance.
