Top Holyrood Hotel Reviews

A rooftop patio with outdoor seating, potted plants, and a stone building in the background.

BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh

Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

John

A restaurant with wooden tables and chairs, stone walls, and hanging plants.

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 historic building with a stone facade, a flag, and a flower bed.

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 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 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...

Kerrie

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

The Scott

Southside

10/10 Excellent

JOHN

A neatly made bed with a folded towel, a lamp, and a window with curtains.

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 modern interior with a marble bar, wooden chairs, and potted plants.

Eden Locke

Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

Malcolm

A modern hotel room with a bed, a desk, a red chair, a sofa, and a wooden floor.

Tynecastle Park Hotel

Gorgie

10/10 Excellent

Our room 220 was lovely we knew it didn’t have windows but the massive screen showing Hearts ground totally amazing. The room spacious my only gripe was the Milton brown shampoo and shower gel pumps didn’t work but I bought my own and one night we didn’t have hand towels but that’s all minor things. We had plenty of condiments and a lovely touch free crisps and jammy dodgers my fav lol. The staff 10/10 outstanding from the lovely ladies on reception to the guys in the sky restaurant. Breakfast...

A view of a historic castle from a window, with a statue in the foreground.

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...
