Cheap Hotels near Easter Road Stadium Edinburgh
The home of Hibernian F.C, Easter Road is situated in the Leith part of north Edinburgh – whence its nickname, the Leith San Siro –, an area known for housing a lively port and numerous Edinburgh hotels and guest houses. Having opened in 1893, Easter Road has survived manifold developments and redevelopments, ground-sharing talks, a hostile takeover bid from city rivals Hearts and several new stadium proposals to remain Edinburgh’s largest football arena.
In 1950 Easter Road witnessed the record crowd for a football match in Edinburgh, an attendance of 65,860 for the Edinburgh derby, although today’s capacity is far lower, at 20,421. The venue has also hosted Scottish League Cup semi-finals, Scotland under-21 fixtures, rugby matches, and even an Elton John concert in 2005. Score a goal by reserving our cheap accommodation in Edinburgh and visit Easter Road without worrying about ticket prices.
