Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location and a modern, efficient hotel."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really loved this hotel due to its proximity to all the main areas and the views to the castle were incredible. Try to get a 4th or 5th floor room and an odd number for the best views of Edinburgh Castle. Restaurants were on the street below and plenty of choices. Keep in mind there is no a/c but that’s common. Staff was excellent and room was cleaned each day. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"The location is perfect! Everything is 5 mins walking!!! We got a nice room with two double beds and nice view. A special thanks to Edwin!!! He was the star of the show!! My brother is in wheelchair and he assisted us in a very friendly way in everything!! Made our stay memorable!!! Thank you ;) we will definitely recommend this hotel"
