Top Scottish Gems Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms cleaned and breakfast daily"

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

8/10 Good

"This hotel is perfectly placed for those wishing toto take advantage of everything on the Royal Mile. It is ugly outside tho with scaffolding al around. No work is being done however. They could use something more to to on soelevators and the breakfast is expensive. I, however, felt safe and totally happy with my room and the location of the hotel."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very clean and the rooms were exceptional. We didn't need cleaning everyday, but the bed was always made up and we appreciated that after a long day. Breakfast was amazing! I actually enjoyed the buffet more and Debbie loved the eggs benedict!"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"The perfect base after touring all day. Quiet, clean and comfortable. Great location to sights and transportation."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and friendly staff. Lots of bars and restaurants in Grassmarket, and it is convenient to the sites. The rooms were very comfortable."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The property is well located to all major locations including restaurants, shopping, Edinburgh castle, Waverley train station, tram and bus lines, etc. Staff are helpful and the restaurant has awesome views of Edinburgh castle and the park across the street. Breakfast was delicious with a Buffett of a wide selection of items. My one wish is that coffee was better. I highly recommend a stay there."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"While the hotel is conveniently located near the Royal Mile, walking to most things to do (or nearby buses/trams), it was quite inconsistent in how the rooms were equipped. We had 3 rooms (all same size) for extended family vacation. First room had a coffee maker, 4 mugs, hot water kettle and various packaged cookies. Second room only had hot water kettle and 2 mugs, while the third had a single mug and a hot water kettle. The AC units were poorly calibrated, requiring you to set it to strange temp settings in order to work."

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were amazing as well as the breakfast ! Highly recommend staying at this hotel !"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay Breakfast was great Friendly staff"
