Top Writers' Museum Hotel Reviews

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean. The bed was super comfortable with great pillows. Lovely shower. Helpful staff. All good"

Fraser Suites Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Perfect location. Just off The Royal Mile in the old town. Check in was easy. We were able to leave our luggage while we went off to park the car. Our luggage was in our room and coats hanging in the wardrobe when we arrived back. Please note that Fraser Suites are not affiliated with any car parks so we couldn’t get our parking discounted as some other hotels do. I had paid more to have a city view room but our outlook was of the wall of the building on the other side of the street. I did raise this with reception but they were unable to move us to a different room because they were fully booked. We could have moved for our last night but I felt that it wasn’t worth the hassle for one night. Overall, we did enjoy our stay in Edinburgh."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is as described, in some cases even better. The location cannot be beat for exploring both Old Town and the Princes St side of Edinburgh. It's quiet inside, comfortable beds and well furnished units. The water pressure in the shower is outstanding and the laundry facilities much appreciated! We loved our stay and hope to return."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"There was construction at the hotel, which I was not made aware of prior to booking but for the most part the hotel was excellent. The staff was very polite, kind and professional. I really appreciate the service. The breakfast was excellent. The upgraded room was a nice touch, allowing me to see the castle from my room."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were so helpful and accommodating. Pool facilities were lovely and relaxing especially considering how poor the weather was the weekend we visited. Really excellent location for getting around the city as well as Waverley train station. Breakfast was also lovely. I would definitely stay again!"

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Though the location on Southbridge was excellent for Waverley rail station, the surrounding area was very busy with many vulnerable people about and I felt intimidated. The hotel and lobby were quite secure with a constant presence of reception staff."
