Top Church of St John the Evangelist Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Muy buena ubicación. Conceniente patw ir a todos lados caminando. Lo único es que no nos rellenaron el jabón líquido para bañarnos y el teléfono del cuarto no funcionaba. Pero lo demás todo excelente"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Great central location. Friendly and helpful staff."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The property was smack in the middle of Edinburgh. Steps away from new town and just a short walk to Old Town. Staff were very helpful and our room stay was very comfortable."

Stay Central

10/10 Excellent

"The location was great, staff great, and room clean and comfortable. We ended up being given the accessible room, which we didn't need, but it wasn't a problem. The in-room speakers were a fun idea. Kettle and coffee/tea was much appreciated. We stayed on the other side of the property and couldn't hear the bar, but we were next to an alley where once we heard lots of trash being taken out. Overall, though, it was quiet. The only issue we had was that the TV remote had been replaced with a universal remote which made some things inaccessible. Perhaps they didn't want us to use the smart features (I have the same TV at home), but it is also impossible to put Closed Captioning on, even for freeview, with the current remote. Just a small thing, but it made it so I couldn't enjoy the great TV."

"Located across the street from the train station and a block away from the Royal Mile"
