Top Blackford Hill Hotel Reviews

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Quick easy check-in, lovely clean room. Really appreciated the complimentary cold bottle of water! Grandson loved his lovely big bed!"

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall I cannot fault this place. The reason I have given only 4 stars and not 5 is for the fact the bar after 11pm will not accept card or cash payments for alcohol. All drinks to be added to your room. Plus levels of staff were low especially with the number's in the bar after a gig. Dont get me wrong, the staff who were working were great. Just needed more."

"Clean, comfortable flat for an extended stay. Very helpful front desk staff. Good location for visiting Edinburgh. The property is in a quiet neighborhood but easy walk to restaurants and nearby Tesco market. 5 minute walk to buses and train station, and many popular areas are within a mile so walking is often an option. Would stay here again."
