Top Museum on the Mound Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for our Edinburgh adventure. Great views and very walkable to our areas of interest. Would highly recommend!"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Had an amazing stay! Absolutely amazing and hospitable staff! Amazing breakfast buffet. The first night we had some issues with a lot of noise and they changed our room right away the next morning. Overall amazing experience :) So close to all amenities and all things to see. We loved the location and absolutely loved everything about it."

Fraser Suites Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Perfect location. Just off The Royal Mile in the old town. Check in was easy. We were able to leave our luggage while we went off to park the car. Our luggage was in our room and coats hanging in the wardrobe when we arrived back. Please note that Fraser Suites are not affiliated with any car parks so we couldn’t get our parking discounted as some other hotels do. I had paid more to have a city view room but our outlook was of the wall of the building on the other side of the street. I did raise this with reception but they were unable to move us to a different room because they were fully booked. We could have moved for our last night but I felt that it wasn’t worth the hassle for one night. Overall, we did enjoy our stay in Edinburgh."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is as described, in some cases even better. The location cannot be beat for exploring both Old Town and the Princes St side of Edinburgh. It's quiet inside, comfortable beds and well furnished units. The water pressure in the shower is outstanding and the laundry facilities much appreciated! We loved our stay and hope to return."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were so helpful and accommodating. Pool facilities were lovely and relaxing especially considering how poor the weather was the weekend we visited. Really excellent location for getting around the city as well as Waverley train station. Breakfast was also lovely. I would definitely stay again!"
