Top Edinburgh Hotel Reviews

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk staff very helpful!"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Leonardo was perfect, the staff was so helpful, it's in a great location to get anywhere in the city, and the place felt quite quiet for being so centrally located. So glad we added the breakfast every day, the selection was great and it saved us having to find new places to eat every morning during our week long stay."

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."

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."

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay for the most part, only iffy experience was during breakfast and one lady got a little attitude when I asked to get breakfast for the day and she just kept telling me to go to the reception desk even though I had purchased at the little stand the day before. The food for breakfast was very yummy! The only thing I wish they had was a bigger concession stand with more drink options instead of a vending machine with only about 5 sodas and Gatorade and the water that tastes very minerally."
