Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely spot on grassmarket ideal location for Old town."

InterContinental Edinburgh The George by IHG

8/10 Good

"From the greeting at the entrance to the staff at reception everyone was friendly and proved a pleasant experience of being greeted with a smile. The hotel room was clean and well appointed with a lovely view. The hotel is located in a perfect location for seeing the city. Restaurants and shopping are on the door steps. I walked to the Royal Botanics and the old town. I will stay at the Intercontinental again in my next visit to Edinburgh."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"We were greeted with such warmth. And a Prosecco! Miraculously our room was ready very early. We arrived from an overnight flight, so this was perfect. The hotel is perfectly situated for easy access to the Royal Mile. We agreed, based on our overall experience, that this was our best stay in all of Scotland."

Old Waverley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in here for 3 nights, we arrived at 11 and expected to drop our bags off at the hotel and come back when our room was ready, but our was ready and could check in and go straight to our room, which was great and so unexpected. The hotel is very central to everything, with views to the front, we had a view to the side which unfortunately had building works going on, and will be for some time, but it didn't detract from our stay. Breakfast was good, everything you would need to start your day of exploring. Staff were very attentive, we popped into the lounge where they serve afternoon tea, that looked amazing but we only wanted tea/coffee and a scone before we caught our train home and they supplied it, the best scones I've tasted in a long while. Our room was refreshed every day, clean towels, bins emptied, bed made, the only thing I would say about the bathroom is that I had difficulty getting in and out the bath for a shower as I am short and the bath was high, be extra careful if your short or not as mobile as others. This hotel is not suitable for the disabled as it has steps and stairs to navigate before you reach the reception after that there is a lift. We had a great stay in this hotel, full of character and charm right in the middle of Edinburgh city, you couldn't wish for anything more, I hope one day we will return."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

6/10 Okay

"Very well located hotel, walkable to pretty much all parts of Edinburgh and all the buses for public transport were right out front. FYI- no Ubers are allowed on Princes St. The hotel itself is falling apart. The elevator access was a complete pain with the card readers and the room was TINY. We had two pieces of checked baggage and two carry-ons meaning there was no space in the room for us to even stand. The shower drainage and ventilation of the bathroom was awful so the room was always stuffy feeling. I had breakfast at their on-site restaurant and it was pretty underwhelming compared to the other hotels we stayed at during this trip. Would stay here again in a pinch, but will likely try another property if I visit Edinburgh again. The staff is all lovely though! Shout out to Craig who was very friendly and helpful."
