Edinburgh Airport Hotels

I'm looking for a reasonably priced room with a view, any suggestions.

There is only 1 hotel at the airport in Edinburgh and that's the Hilton, which is small.

(Not sure if it's still the case) but all of the best viewing locations are only accessible by car - I don't think there's any viewing at the actual airport anymore.

There are good locations at either end of the runway, and there is a crash gate opposite the terminal building which is good too.

You'd be better off looking for a room around Leith (which is where they will turn for finals if landing towards the west)...

Cheers!

Travelodge has recently opened a new hotel along the Glasgow Road 2.8 miles drive from the terminal entrance.

Travelodge has an excellent overview of the runway if you get a room on that side obviously.
