Top Melville Monument Hotel Reviews

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at Apex Waterloo Place. The location was perfect for what we were looking for and the staff were friendly and attentive. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"If you are a boutique hotel person, you will love this place! It is directly across the street from the Waverly Train station so no cab/Uber needed. You walk in the door and are directed to the 7th floor (us by the ever helpful Andre-Thank-you!) to check in and are greeted with champagne on your arrival by the super nice and helpful staff. This also allows you to see where the optional included breakfast will be (with all wonderful servers, but a special thank-you to Jakub for his extra time and attention!) and the afternoon/evening small plates and bar are located. There is a nice terrace overlooking the city for evening drinks with a beautiful view (open to the public so you may need reservations on really nice evenings). We stayed in a single handicap room, which could use a mirror near an outlet for hair styling but was otherwise good. We also stayed 4 nights in the larger suite room, which had everything we needed. There are complementary beverages and snacks in the room and nice shower products. The hotel is in easy walking distance to both the old and new town areas and the Princess Street Park. We really enjoyed our stay here and actually cancelled our airport hotel to stay here again before we left. Thank-you to all of you, we really enjoyed our stay-and we are still rooting for Scotland in the cup!!!!!"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Very clean and beautiful hotel in a central location. Our room was beautiful, but just be aware that although we got a junior suite, the bathroom was split into 3 parts w the sink and mirror area in the room! Then, there was a door for the shower, and a door for the toilet. I didn’t like not having 1 bathroom. Everything else was great!"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Had a view of the old town overlooking Edinburgh Castle and the Cook monument. Access to Tram a few yards away and next door to Marks & Spencer. If you have a car there is no lot at the hotel but why offer a great discount code to Q-park, which is a 10 min walk from Hotel. It's not a bad walk; probably typical in any large European city. It is a good value. Get the breakfast it's a very ample buffet."
