Top National Museum of Scotland Hotel Reviews

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel. Modern, clean, great breakfasts. Very efficient."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"We came to explore Edinburgh and the location of the hotel is perfect. Next to the train station, a block to catch the tram, a couple of blocks to the hop-on-hop-off. Restaurants, museums, pubs, shops and the Royal Mile all within walking distance of the hotel. The rooms are very nice with a minimalist flare. Very quiet! Bring extra hangers as the closet space is limited. There are no dressers so, plan to live out of your suitcase. The breakfast buffet cost extra but, has plenty to offer (except gluten free options are minimal)."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Had a lovely balcony room overlooking Grassmarket square with views of the castle. Hotel was clean and staff was helpful and kind, We arrived early and were able to get our rooms early. Rooms were very nice. Being next to grassmarket was a little louder than expected but manageable. Restaurant food was delicious and service was great."
