How much does a budget hotel in Musselburgh cost?

To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
When is the most affordable time to visit Musselburgh?
The most affordable time to visit Musselburgh is typically during the shoulder seasons of spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October), or even in the quieter winter months (November-March), outside of the Christmas and New Year period. During these times, you'll find lower prices for accommodation and potentially better deals on travel, as it avoids the peak summer rush and major local events.

For solo travellers, visiting in the off-peak times means fewer crowds at popular spots like Fisherrow Harbour or the Musselburgh Racecourse, allowing for a more relaxed experience. Accommodation, from guesthouses to small hotels, tends to offer more competitive rates. Public transport, such as the frequent bus and train services connecting to Edinburgh, remains consistently affordable throughout the year, making it easy to explore the wider region without a car.

Even though the weather might be cooler, Musselburgh still offers plenty of free or low-cost activities. You can enjoy strolls along the beach, explore the historic high street, or visit the Roman remains at the Lewisvale Park.

The beautiful Musselburgh Beach is superb for a day out, with plenty of space for children to play and for everyone to enjoy the coastal views.
