The Spotlight on Oatridge hotel

Relaxed Budget Base Near Edinburgh’s Music Action

Located in the quiet town of Uphall, just 5 miles from Edinburgh Airport and around 10 miles from the city’s main entertainment spots, Oatridge hotel offers a cozy and affordable stay. Set in a traditional stone building, this 2-star hotel keeps it simple and comfortable with clean rooms, free WiFi, and an on-site pub. It’s a great low-key launchpad for catching gigs without staying in the thick of city crowds.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the peaceful location after a big night out—it’s far enough from the center to ensure a quiet sleep, but still close enough to reach venues in under 30 minutes by car or taxi. Free parking makes it easy for those renting a car or ridesharing. The flexible 1:00 PM check-in is a bonus for travelers arriving early, and the local pub atmosphere adds a touch of charm before or after the show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable, low-hassle stay
  • Solo travelers attending a bucket-list show
  • Couples making a relaxed weekend of it
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music fans who just need the basics done well

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar offers hearty meals and pints—ideal for a pre-show bite or post-gig wind-down. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the pub stays open late enough for night owls. Breakfast is available, making mornings after a late night a little easier. Local takeaways and cafes are also within walking distance.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things low-key, the on-site bar has a classic pub feel—great for a casual drink. For more action, you’re a short drive from Edinburgh’s vibrant nightlife scene, with live music bars and late-night lounges dotted throughout the city.

What People Say

Guests often highlight the friendly staff, spotless rooms, and excellent value for money. Many mention the quiet location as a plus for restful nights after a loud concert. The pub food gets solid praise, especially for traditional Scottish dishes.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the decor is a little dated, and the 10:30 AM checkout can feel early after a late night out. There’s no elevator, so pack light if you’re upstairs. Still, for the price, most agree it’s a great deal.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a simple, quiet, and affordable stay near Edinburgh’s music venues, Oatridge hotel hits the right notes.

Pleasantly surprised

Liked: Very pleasantly surprised, was a bit worried about it being a pub as some reviews mentioned the noise. We arrived about 10pm and went for nightcap drink in the pub and had chat with some locals. Rooms were very clean and modern and the beds were amazingly comfy. Was able to get a park outside as we were lugging in 4 suitcases. 12 - 15 mins from airport
Disliked: Restaurant was closed

Lack of sleep.

Disliked: Incredibly loud customers from the bar outside the building from 11:30pm - 2am. Hardly any sleep from the commotion. When the customers are in the bar it’s not to bad, but clearly they were allowed to continue outside, there was also police, so assume something happened but it went on for hours. I got about 2 hours sleep.

Passable

Liked: The room was bright and airy with all the facilities I needed.
Disliked: There were two young women on reception for dining room. One of them, who appeared to be the senior of the two, was very friendly and helpful. She carried my case up to the first floor. When I wanted to have an evening meal, the other girl said the dining room was very busy and she didn't think they would be able to accommodate me. She said there were people in the bar (who, presumably, might want to eat) so, basically, no room. I asked if there was anywhere local where I could get an evening meal but she didn't know because, she said, she didn't live in the immediate area. However, when the senior girl returned to her post, she found me a table straight away and, in fact, there were several empty spaces for the rest of serving time. My bed was comfortable but the duvet, for me, was too heavy so that I was either too hot or too cold if I flung it off.I didn't have much success with the shower because it went from boiling hot to cold whatever I set the control to. When it was turning to very hot, I could hear the shower revving up and then, when the revving stopped, the water turned cold again. The interval between unbearably hot and then cold was very short, so it took ages to finish rinsing off. The hotel has a 'beer garden'. I didn't realise this until, eventually, I got up to see where all the noise was coming from. I imagined at first that it was from the street until I saw, from one window, that it was from the garden. The noise continued until about 11.30pm after which it was quiet.
