Top Church of St John the Evangelist Hotel Reviews

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We love to stay in this hotel when we come to Edinburgh. The rooms are so comfortable and well throught through. We also love having a glass of champagne in the bar whilst watching the sun set over the Edinburgh skyline. Make sure you get full value from your stay with the complimentary mini-bar and in-room coffee maker, etc."

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"M"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Really liked the hotel just wish there would have been more description about the room. The photos show a room with big windows hot to the hotel and it was a small window looking right at a wall. Was so bummed out! Also keep in mind there is no AC so you’ll probably want to open your windows which is fine expect it’s near a pub I heard everything from singing and drunk people up until around 4am very loudly and then people fighting. Other than that great location."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Clean and comfortable room. Staff was very friendly and helpful."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location was excellent. Breakfast was nice. Staff friendly. Would stay there again."

The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was accommodating and pleasant and the hotel was nice and well maintained. The beds were comfortable."

Stay Central

8/10 Good

"My husband and I enjoyed staying at Stay Central. It was in a great location, about a 5 minute walk from the Royal Mile. My only complaint is that when I asked for more pillows (there were 4 in the room), they said they ran out and none were available. Given this is a 4 star hotel, I find that a bit off and disappointing. Other than that, the staff were friendly and helpful"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"All was excellent! So clean and charming. Excellent location. Staff is very welcoming, helpful and attentive. Would recommend."
