Top Edinburgh Hotel Reviews

The Resident Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Modern with good AC. Clean room good in room Amenities"

Dakota Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was quite wonderful - exceeded our expectations. The only glitch was with the taxi we had requested for 3:30 am. I even followed up a couple days beforehand to confirm and rec'd an email confirmation yet come that morning there was no record of the reservation. Fortunately the gentleman on duty was able to get us in a taxi that was coming for another guest (who was amenable to our joining them) so we made our flight. The night manager was extremely helpful and personable."

Staycity Aparthotels, Edinburgh, West End

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, modern, quiet, and well maintained appartments. There are no restaurants on the premises but there are many places to eat in the neighborhood. The west end is less touristy and has a more local feel which we appreciated after visiting old town. The staff was very nice and super responsive. Highly recommend for a comfortable stay."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel was perfect for walking distance to many of the Edinburgh sites. It was easy to get to from the airport by taking the tram. The only thing I would have liked was a bigger room and view that wasn't overlooking the heating units and rooftops of other buildings. The staff was wonderful, the breakfast was delightful, and I would definitely stay here again."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

4/10 Poor

"Overall a disappointing experience. Only nice thing was the convenient location. When we arrived with 3 heavy bags, the lift to carry the bags up was broken. So we were forced to carry them up the stairs. We found that the sheets we slept on gave us itchy skin and receptionist told us the sheets are only replaced once every 4 days."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Property is located at the bottom of castle hill. Very good location but a lot of steps up to get to the Royal Mile where the main attractions are located. Note that the hotel does not have AC in the rooms. However, they provide a fan that does help. My guess is that normally this is not a problem, however, during our visit, the UK was experiencing a heat wave! Enjoyed the pool tremendously! All in all, very satisfied with our stay 😀"
