Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

10/10 Excellent

"The Wilde is a great central location and for us, who choose not to have a car; there were so many things to experience from the Royal Mile, Grassmarket area, town of Dean. The hotel was enjoyable place to stay with our room, lounge front area. I appreciate the Wilde is very eco- conscience in all that they do and their amenities. The staff was very friendly and so helpful. We enjoyed hanging out in the common area to relax, have a glass of wine, etc. Food was great. We will be back."

8/10 Good

"Right on Grassmarket is centrally located. Area wasn’t noisy which I didn’t expect. Room was clean, well appointed and kept up. Staff very helpful. Only complaint is that television selection wasn’t great. Not bad but not great."
