Teresa

Holyrood Aparthotel

Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

The room was spacious, with all the utilities we could need for both a short and extended stay. There’s the option to eat out for every meal as you’re so close to the Royal Mike, where all the tourists are, or to stay in and cook due to the kitchen being so well stocked with pans and cutlery etc. Due to its location, when the day was too hot or we’d used up too much energy it was very easy to just go back to our room for a couple of hours to recharge before going out again. Everything was...

Jo

A historic building with a central entrance, two symmetrical windows on either side, and a sign above the door.

The Raeburn

Stockbridge

10/10 Excellent

I can't fault the hotel, the staff, the bar, the food or the price. Staff were young but knowledgable. Food was simple but delicious. The bar had inventive twists on drinks (Negronis with port replacing Martini Rosso? A hot chocolate with Remy Martin?) If you're looking for a hotel that is bang in the centre of Edinburgh, look elsewhere. This is in the beautiful area of Stockbridge, 20min walk or 5 min bus ride from Princes St. We'll stay here again. Loved it.

phillip

A hotel room with two beds, a small table, and a window with curtains.

Highfield Guest House

Newington

10/10 Excellent

I spent quite a while looking for the best combination of location, reviews, appearance, price and convenience and must confess to having been a little sceptical of the high scores I found at such a modest cost. But I found that they are totally justified. I received an upgrade on arrival and my hosts could not have been more helpful, giving me information about places worth visiting, local transport and options of where to eat etc. Walking into the house for the first time, it was clear what a...

David

A row of traditional stone buildings with uniform windows and a black iron railing.

Hapimag Resort Edinburgh

West End

10/10 Excellent

This was one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. We stayed in the Townhouse Suite which was larger than our London flat! By far the best value for money we have ever got from a hotel room. Staff were excellent and very helpful. The onsite "honesty shop" was also very well stocked with a range of food and drinks with a lovely lounge area to enjoy them in. We have already booked this hotel again for our next trip to Edinburgh.

Victoria

A modern loft with a high ceiling, wooden flooring, a grey sofa, a yellow armchair, and a dining area with a table and chairs.

Linton Collection - Blackfriars Lofts

Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

What an incredible place to stay. Blackfriars Loft apartments are stunning. Furnished beautifully. Everything you could need was provided. The apartment was spotlessly clean, comfortable and located so close to the Royal Mile. Beautiful bathroom and toiletries. Very handy to have a washing machine and drying rack. Fabulous whiskey and pizza bar directly under the apartment and fabulous place for breakfast next door. We were able to park directly in front of the building to unload luggage which...

A lobby with ornate woodwork, a staircase, and seating areas.

Emma

A corner room with a bay window, a glass table, two green chairs, and a vase with plants.

The Lane Hotel

Morningside

10/10 Excellent

Excellent location in Morningside close to Pubs/Restaurants so no need to worry that food is not served on the premises. The rooms are beautiful and cater for all your needs, definitely a warm and luxurious feel to them. The owners have provided a ‘snack room’ for guests which is a simple but genius move on their part which has biscuits, crisps, fizzy drinks, water and milk (to name a few) which is part of your price. Edinburgh City centre is a straight walk or a 10 minute bus ride, the Publuc...

Donna

A spacious lounge area with multiple seating options, including sofas and chairs, and a bar area with shelves stocked with various items.

Eden Locke

Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

Malcolm

A modern hotel room with a glass-enclosed shower, a neatly made bed with blue bedding, and a bedside table with a lamp.

The Knight Residence Apartments by Mansley

Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

Once inside, the apartment was quiet, comfortable and very well resourced. We had everything we needed for a very comfortable 3 night stay, including a supermarket next door. The welcome pack of cereals, bread, fresh juices, milk and biscuits were an added bonus. Great location, walking distance to all the sights and excellent local independent shops. You must go to Mary's Milk Bar in the Grassmarket and Lovecrumbs across the street

Julia

A building with a red door, numbered 24, and a sign for a gallery and bar gardens.

24 Royal Terrace

Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

We stayed with our 2 boys 6&9 for a city trip in the 24 Royal Terrace. Everything was excellent, great art, very nice staff and they do all time their best to make your life easy. For my older son the best chocolate he ever had 😊. A very nice whiskey collection. All important point for us we get here: location, large room with children, late checkin, clean, top quality, nice boutique hotel ...enough umbrella for all...
