Additionally, sleeping 5 meant sharing spaces as there is only a large great room / kitchen and the master bedroom with master bath. If you need a laundry you’ll have to reserve somewhere else. The location was the best attribute of this property. It is close to everything."

Top Church of St John the Evangelist Hotel Reviews

Novotel Edinburgh Centre

8/10 Good

"The room is clean and location is good."

Market Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"⭐⭐⭐⭐ I stayed at Market Street Hotel for two nights and overall had a good experience. The location is excellent — very convenient and within easy walking distance of many of Edinburgh’s main attractions, restaurants, and transportation. The room was comfortable, although it wasn’t particularly large, so I wouldn’t expect a very spacious room. One thing I found inconvenient was the luggage space. For two people, there was only one luggage rack where you could open a suitcase, so it was difficult to have two suitcases open at the same time. Another unusual issue was the height of the toilet. It was noticeably higher than a standard toilet, and for someone of average height, your feet may not comfortably reach the floor when sitting down. This was quite uncomfortable and honestly not something I’ve experienced at other hotels. Overall, the location is excellent, and this hotel is a good option if being centrally located is a priority."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, breakfast was fabulous, staff was very helpful, location was ideal. Steps from Royal Mile, and short walk to train station/bus stop/tram stop. Highly recommend!"

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very friendly and helpful and hotel was up to date and clean. We had a lovely stay."

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

8/10 Good

"Over all good except carpet was dirty in the hallway in our room area"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was lovely, the location was excellent. We had a view of the castle out of our window! We used the pool and it was clean and a nice temperature. The only issue we had was the heat. The hotel was incredibly hot, the windows were not easy to open and didnt open more than a couple of cms. I believe this is a wider issue around the UK not just at this hotel but thats why I rated 4/5"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"This is a very (relatively) affordable place to stay. I did a social dinner that was fun. Sleeping in the big rooms in a pod was OK once I had the earplugs in, but since one must be quiet there is a vibe of "don't talk to me!" throughout the facility. Outside of the sleeping room, it is a youth hostel and has the energy and music that goes with that. The staff were great."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was a wee bit small but the view was beyond compare! Excellent location: Tram from the airport and Waverley Station right across the street for the LNER ride to London"

Stay Central

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, comfortable rooms. The bar next door was loud on Saturday night. Would recommend"
