Top Musselburgh Racecourse Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, very close to transportations, either train or busses, Royal Mile is just 100 feet away up the alley with some steps to climb but easy walk."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay, nice rooms, great dinner!"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, friendly staff and nice accommodations. Breakfast was very good. We enjoyed dinner in the on- site restaurant one evening and food was great."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"If you need parking…it’s very limited. The location of this hotel is great to explore Old Town by foot. Sits right by many pubs/restaurants which can be touristy, but again…great location!"

Premier Inn Edinburgh East

8/10 Good

"Very clean and quiet. Staff helpful. It would have been nice to have a second chair in the room"

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was small but it worked"

Melville Castle

8/10 Good

"A beautiful, historic castle outside Edinburgh. Room was very nice--bed comfortable, bathroom clean and roomy enough. Restaurant in the basement is a "must do." Steaks are cooked over a wood fire. Food was superb. Only negative was that I learned if you don't book directly with Melville Castle then breakfast is not included. I used a Expedia to book, so no breakfast included, which didn't seem right given the room prices. Overall a great experience. My wife and I would like to return sometime."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean pod. Remember to take USB or USC for charging your device"

Best Western Kings Manor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent helpful staff. They assisted with directions, bus lines and more. The breakfast was excellent. Had a lovely meal in the dining area. The cappuccino in the restaurant/bar was excellent. Every staff member was pleasant, friendly and helpful."
