5. Stay Hush

Holyrood, 1 km from Greyfriar's Bobby

"Nothing to say about the studio itself, comfortable bed, spacious bathroom, clean, and perfect location on the lower side of the Royal Mile. My only negative is sadly not necessarily about the property itself, but about the other guests there, slaming doors left and right at any time of day or night. The door of the studio is not well soundproofed and I am sure it would have not been that much of an issue if people had more manners. Overall an amazing place to stay, recommending it gladly!"

Top Greyfriar's Bobby Hotel Reviews

YOTEL Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"This property caters to large tour groups so it is very crowded. The breakfast in the morning was basic, no extras for the oatmeal many days and very limited amount of food. The kitchen staff tried to keep up but the large groups made it almost impossible to manage. Coffee was always an issue in the morning. Their antiquated coffee machines were always broken. The queen room had a nice bed and it was pretty quiet. The best part about it was the convenience to much of Edinburgh, you could walk to the major attractions."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Close to a lot of Attractions."

Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff and the room we stayed in was wonderful. Location was perfect! :)"

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

8/10 Good

"Pros: The hotel screams out location, it can’t be a better location for stay to absorb Edinburgh. Staff is very helpful too. Cons: Breakfast variety is not great. Path to room, lifts are really confusing ( but I can’t fully blame them as they are trying to modernise a castle which might be tough) Temp works are on at multiple places which is little eyesore. Overall: good value ( I just stopped saying great for now)"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel in a very good location. Some rooms have amazing views of the castle. We’ve just completed our second stay, have a third booked for January 27 and are planning a summer 27 stay too"

Stay Central

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and great location. Room was so spacious for my family! Loved it!"

Fraser Suites Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The property was amazing and has even more amazing staff. We got there early and were accommodated were warmly. Domnik at the front desk was very helpful."

Safestay Edinburgh Cowgate

8/10 Good

"Perfect for a quick stop over in Edinburgh. Location was great, room was clean and felt safe. The only down fall is that there I a pub across the street that was quite loud late into the night, however, I stayed during the World Cup finals so it was understandable. I would stay again!"
