£40 at Mercure Edinburgh City Princes Street on Sunday 21/8..

The following weekend, Mercure Livingston (around 15 miles from Edinburgh) is £40 on Friday, Sunday and Monday

​edinburhh has the worlds biggest and best arts festival with 3300 shows of which over 300 are free not to mention the street entertainment. do what I do and stay in Glasgow. trains and coaches between cities are both every 15mins and tickets can be £1 when booked in advance and still quite cheap on the day. the ibis in Glasgow is good. ibis budget OK in a slightly odd place but very cheap taxi from city centre. brand new ibis styles right by queen st station where all trains to Edinburgh depart and return

I tried to book a twin room room for 2 adults in Cardiff but couldn't. I can book 1 adult and 1 child but when I went to book a second room I can get one for 2 adults. I don't see the logic with the booking system. I just want a room for 2 adults and 1 two-year old.

Just booked Bristol £40, Thanks Id forgotten about this offer

Not all Glasgow to Edinburgh trains leave from Queen St. There are 45 trains a day from Glasgow Central to Edinburgh.

When you log and search your membership no. should come up in a box under your search criteria, under that there is a section that says business travellers and there is a box that says access code - i entered it here. This is based on what i was advised last week on here prior to booking, hope it helps

​Thank you, very much for your help...

I'm just 15 mins on the train away but they are terrible at putting on late trains to cater for late night festival goers. Last one train out towards me (same line as Glasgow) is around midnight which means missing out on the great late night stand up. Taxis can be eye-watering during the Fringe, even short distances, and had hoped to get a wee deal so we could stay and enjoy the later shows.



I'd hoped for the Saturday so was only checking that but will see if we can change plans - they're great prices during the festival!

shame Falkirk isn't on there, as it's half way between glasgow and edinburgh and at least not a new town like Livingston is.
Think it took about 22 mins from Falkirk to Edinburgh on the train, i used this route a lot when i lived in Edinburgh.
Best of both worlds, friendly weegies [like myself], and near the festival.
Falkirk is pretty decent too and popular with tourists, especially the Falkirk wheel and the huge Kelpies.

I managed to get this working via the Ibis website using the code Monday yesterday. Any ideas how to get it to work today as OP suggests? I've tried the obvious idea of using the code Tuesday.

Hmm it now seems to work for some, but not the two hotels I was considering yesterday...
