Top Scotland Hotel Reviews

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Had an amazing stay!"

The Hoxton, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Everything exceptional, apart from needing an iron. None in the room, have to request them now, but they take 15mins to arrive. Except it didn't. Rang reception, an apology, but "i will.message housekeeping again". Still no iron 40 mins later . Turned up too late to use it. In their defence when we got back to the hotel later, they sent a hand written card and a big bar of chocolate for the inconvenience. Nicely sorted. However, why not put irons in rooms any more."

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

8/10 Good

"Hotel was a little worn in places but very clean and comfortable. Staff were very helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Restaurant food was delicious. Easy to get to city centre by bus. Because it was beside the zoo, there were lots of exuberant children so there were times it was noisy in the halls. Not so great for a senior looking for some quiet time."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Very centrally located. Right in the middle of it all. Longest walk was to Holyrood, 18 mins. Edinburgh castle was 12 mins. Right across from the Scott Monument. Waverly Starion is a 2 mins walk and you can get anywhere from there. Hotel was quiet, restaurant was good. Friendly staff. If you love tea, they have a tea menu at the restaurant. Recommend trying just for the experience."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"The first thing you should know is there are 2 Ibis hotels one street away from each other. That caused me confusion throughout my trip when calling Ubers or taxis. The location is excellent, within walking distance to many attractions, restaurants and shops in the old part of the city. It is within walking distance from the train station however if it's raining or you have a lot of luggage, it is a tough walk. I would recommend an Uber or taxi. The front desk staff is on duty 24 hours a day and they were helpful in getting an early check in and calling taxis for me. The lobby is very small but functional. I had a twin room as I was traveling with a friend. The room is small and the bathroom is the size of a phone booth, but there were areas for storage and a full length mirror in the room. The room had a hair dryer but no electrical outlet that I could see in the bathroom. But their was an outlet near the full length mirror so it was manageable. There is a coffee shop with muffins, croissants, pastries right next door which was convenient."
