"Edinburgh is very chaotic/touristy on the Royal Mile and this was right in the chaos, however, it felt very safe & the room itself was very spacious, clean & worth the price for it all. I had to contact them once for directions and they answered right away and were super helpful. It sucks there are stairs you have to carry your luggage up and the luggage room was on the first floor, very small/crowded & right next to our apartment room door, but it didn’t seem to get too loud or an issue when...

Top Castlehill Hotel Reviews

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the location very much. My room was nice . I would reccommend!"

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Wonderful staff , eager and happy to help! Great location for being close to so much. Breakfast was good & the meal I had in the restaurant was very nice."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This room was clean, comfortable and in a perfect location. Literally walk out the door and you are in the most beautiful city. Restaurants right across the street. Easy to walk just about anywhere. I recommend this hotel."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Small room, no hot water in shower."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for 2 nights, reception was on 7th floor, our room was on floor 1 so we did not see reception after check in. The hotel is right across from the train station (Waverly) which is so nice when you are pulling several bags! The room was nice, had a sink separate from the shower/ toilet which I like. Our shower drain was poor and you had to keep turning the water off to let it drain, but using the handheld sprayer worked fine. It is so close to the Royal Mile, shops, restaurants and attractions. Would stay there again, but hopefully with better drainage!"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Modern hotel in a great location. Great amenities, very helpful staff."

The Hoxton, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Loved that these are historical old town homes. Very charming. Easy walk to a main tram line to get into Old Town in just a few minutes. Mini M&S just by the Haymarket station and a larger full M&S just a few minutes away."

Britannia Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Con este precio en Edimburgo todo ha sido bien."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"Overall I was quite happy with our stay at Point A. I’ll start off by saying the staff was wonderful and friendly and helpful. We loved our room and the bed was very comfortable. The location is great. Close to Haymarket and no more than a 15-20 min walk to all that Old & New Town Edinburgh has to offer. My one complaint that prevents me from 5 stars across the board is this. In other hotels I’ve stayed at in the UK, coffee and tea has either been available to hotel guests all day, or there has been a kettle in the room to make tea. After a day of sightseeing I wanted nothing more than to head back to my room and enjoy a cup of tea in front of the telly. Instead, I had to pay for tea in the lobby. Other than that one little thing, I’d stay at this hotel again the next time I’m in Edinburgh."
