My wife and I are coming through to Edinburgh in a few weeks. We have a room booked in the Malmaison in Leith.
What Bus goes there from Princess St? Or what would a private cab cost roughly from Princess Street say from Balmoral Hotel area.

If you mean Princes Street, a 16 or a 22.Quote:

A taxi will be about a tenner from the Waverley.
There are several buses though and the Embrace guys will keep you right.
I don't mean to sound sarcastic, but just put it into Google maps. It'll tell you exactly which buses you can get and at what times. It will also give you prices for Uber, etc. :aok:
It's not sarcastic but I liked on this occasion to hear from people who know.Quote:

Uber could be anything from a fiver to 40 quid depending on demand.Quote:

Malmaison to Balmoral is between £6 and £9 by Uber if the prices haven’t surged. Will take you 10 mins or so.
Download the Lothian region bus ap. It will give you all routes and times.
If you download the “mytaxi” app there’s an option to estimate a fare. Let me know if you do and I’ll message you a link that gets you £15 off your first fare.Quote:
