Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay at Apex Grassmarket! Fantastic location in Edinburgh’s Old Town for exploring the city, reasonably priced, really friendly and helpful staff, and a clean, comfortable room. Would definitely stay again!"

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

8/10 Good

"Hotel was a little worn in places but very clean and comfortable. Staff were very helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Restaurant food was delicious. Easy to get to city centre by bus. Because it was beside the zoo, there were lots of exuberant children so there were times it was noisy in the halls. Not so great for a senior looking for some quiet time."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Very centrally located. Right in the middle of it all. Longest walk was to Holyrood, 18 mins. Edinburgh castle was 12 mins. Right across from the Scott Monument. Waverly Starion is a 2 mins walk and you can get anywhere from there. Hotel was quiet, restaurant was good. Friendly staff. If you love tea, they have a tea menu at the restaurant. Recommend trying just for the experience."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"The first thing you should know is there are 2 Ibis hotels one street away from each other. That caused me confusion throughout my trip when calling Ubers or taxis. The location is excellent, within walking distance to many attractions, restaurants and shops in the old part of the city. It is within walking distance from the train station however if it's raining or you have a lot of luggage, it is a tough walk. I would recommend an Uber or taxi. The front desk staff is on duty 24 hours a day and they were helpful in getting an early check in and calling taxis for me. The lobby is very small but functional. I had a twin room as I was traveling with a friend. The room is small and the bathroom is the size of a phone booth, but there were areas for storage and a full length mirror in the room. The room had a hair dryer but no electrical outlet that I could see in the bathroom. But their was an outlet near the full length mirror so it was manageable. There is a coffee shop with muffins, croissants, pastries right next door which was convenient."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is on a flat part of Grassmarket. The Saturday outdoor market is right across the street, as is the hop- hop-off bus and at least 6 pubs and some simple eateries. Victoria street is a 3 min. walk. I loved the location. The hotel is well maintained and you can get lots of towels or tea from the cleaning staff, who are always around. If you want the hotel pub or pool, you’d have to go to the sister Apex hotel. I liked the quietness of this one. Only problem is the corridors and rooms were too hot for my liking(went in autumn)."
