Top John Muir's Birthplace Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location is fantastic, everything was walkable. We had great views of Edinburgh Castle. Lots of places to eat around the area. The room had two queen size beds for four adults. Lots of storage in the room. Bed were comfortable, the bathroom is ok, could have used some upgrades especially the shower."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"My plug converter wasn’t calibrated to 110 so it burned my hair off. Only plug that worked for your hair blow dryer was in the room by TV not in bathroom. And cord didn’t reach far enough to see in the mirror to use it. Breakfast selection was really good. Staff very helpful and accommodating. Room clean and comfortable. Maid service great."

Best Western Kings Manor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great stay, upgrade on arrival to a lovely large ground floor room with patio area. Some stains on mattress topper and pillows not to my preference but didn’t affect the stay. Breakfast was ok"

Destiny Student - Burnet Point

8/10 Good

"Modern fresh property with eager and keen staff"

3 Johns Place Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful place to stay with everything you need, and more. It’s very much a boutique accommodation, and I would not hesitate to give it a five star rating. It’s most definitely our new favourite place to stay when visiting Leith, and only a short tram ride from Edinburgh city centre."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel's location was perfect, close to restaurants, shops, and attractions. The staff at check-in were extremely friendly and helpful, making my experience even more enjoyable . I was impressed with how clean and well-maintained the room was, providing a comfortable and relaxing stay. Staff at the front door were exceptional!!"

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great breakfast, wonderful staff and really good location. My only negative comment is the pull down blinds were quite tattered and safe wasn’t working on check in but they replaced safe door right away and taped up blinds to provide darkness in room. They were very responsive to my room issues and everyone I met was beyond nice and helpful. The Scottish breakfast was wonderful!! I 1000% appreciate that they provided my requested room! Thank you!! I will stay there next year because they are such good people!! And good room!"
