Bring your dog if
- You're happy with a standard hotel-room stay where the property explicitly welcomes dogs
- You're basing yourself in Edinburgh / the Scotland and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
Worth knowing
- Paw rating is based on 2 reviews - limited sample, treat as directional
- Pet fee: £25 per pet (max 2 pets) - research-verified; confirm at booking
- Shared corridors and common areas mean nervous or vocal dogs may find it harder to settle
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 2 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 1,002 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 7.8/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
Travelodge Edinburgh Central Queen Street works as a budget base in the heart of the New Town for owners who want to bring their dog along without paying city-centre luxury prices. Dogs are welcome as part of Travelodge's standard pet policy, so you can book knowing your dog stays with you rather than hunting for a specialist pet hotel.
The location is the main reason to consider it with a dog. The hotel sits on Queen Street, a short walk from Princes Street Gardens and Calton Hill, both of which give you proper space for morning and evening walks. Waverley station and the main shopping streets are within easy reach on foot, and there are dog-friendly pubs and cafes dotted around the New Town.
Guests travelling with dogs have found the staff welcoming and happy to have a dog join them, which sets the right tone for a stay. The rooms are simple and clean in the usual budget-hotel way, so it suits a practical stay rather than a pampered one.
The honest caveat is green space right outside. The immediate surroundings are city streets, and the nearest gardens can close in the evening, so this is a better fit if you are happy to walk a few minutes to let your dog stretch its legs rather than expecting grass on the doorstep. Owners of dogs that need frequent, quick toilet breaks should factor that in.
Overall it suits budget-minded dog owners who want a central Edinburgh base and don't mind a short walk to green space. Confirm the current pet fee and add your dog to the booking when you reserve.
