Top Calton Hill Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Excellent location in Edinburgh and well priced. Walkable to the Royal Mile. Moments to Waverley Train Station and the Tram. It’s central to Old and New town. Tip…to avoid walking up the “close” walk further down Jeffrey and hang a right and your right at the royal mile. To avoid sloped walk from old town to new go through Waverley. Lots of nice shops too."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel has a slogan that they say YES to everything, and that was true! Everything I asked for, they accommodated me. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful - from reception to concierge to wait staff at the restaurants to housekeeping staff. I loved every minute of my stay. The hotel is beautiful, and conveniently located at the top of the hill on the Royal Mile. Everything you need is within walking distance. The room was immaculate with modern touches. The bedding was super cozy. The rooftop patio had amazing views. The food in the restaurants was gourmet quality and delicious. They do have valet parking, which I highly recommend because otherwise you will be walking a ways to the parking lot. Highly recommended hotel, and I hope to visit again."

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good

"Very nice.. The rooms were lacking in storage for longer term stays.. The bathrooms no place to put toiletries.. Bad lighting.. For anyone who wears makeup, it was an atrocious place to put makeup on.. It was not a good place for it.. The breakfast was decent, but it was a cluster mess because of how it was set up..(small u-shape) for all food, people running into each other.. Not good traffic flow.. It was a nice place great location!"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff. Overly offered to help with our bags. We appreciated thr welcome drinks for booking through Expedia"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The location was excellent, the food was good, the social aspect was unexpectedly fun. We are older than the typical guests, so my only negative is that we were in bed sooner than most and the elevator ding and doors clunking shut late into the evening took away from general sleep quality. But, if you want good value and superb location and a chance to mingle with travellers from all over the world, this is a good place to start."

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was quiet, clean, and had lovely shampoo, conditioner, bath & body wash, and skin cream in the room. It was convenient to walk to Waverley station, the tram and bus stops, New Town, and Old Town. The staff was so helpful and kind to keep our luggage before check in and following check out. I would stay here again."

Forth House by Supercity Aparthotels

8/10 Good

"Location was great to see all the attractions in Edinburgh on a very quiet street. The kitchen and washing machine were very convenient. The only negative was the springs in the mattress could be felt. The hotel was able to switch/ flip the mattress."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time in Edinburgh and our first European trip. The hotel is wonderful! Everyone was very pleasant upon our arrival. The cozy room was in fact cozy. The room was well stocked with everything you would need. Hairdryer with attachments, clothing steamer Nespresso machine tea kettle. The air conditioning worked great. The room was quiet and dark at night. The bed was very comfortable. If coming from the United States remember that in Europe hotel rooms are not as large as we are used to. This is the perfect size. You’re in the middle of it all. Everything is within walking distance. The tram stop is right up the road on Princes street. Maybe a 8 minute walk. Waverly station is across the street. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Edinburgh."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for exploring old and “new” Edinburgh!! Right on the Royal Mile and less than 15 minutes to any and all the sites—- great pub restaurants immediately nearby at reasonable prices- really recommended!!"
