Top Galashiels Hotel Reviews

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Has everything you need."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

8/10 Good

"The hotel is well situated in the center of Old Towne, halfway between Holyrood Castle and Edinburgh Castle. We stayed on the Executive level which had several benefits. A very good buffet breakfast, Hors d'oeuvres and drinks during happy hour(s). It was a great way to relax after a long day of walking around. The staff was very helpful and had a map for everywhere you wanted to go. The room was quite, bed comfortable, and they kept the refrigerator stocked with water and cold drinks. The hotel was not cheap, but worth the price, I would go back again."

Britannia Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice stay and great location."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall we had a good stay. Had a few off days with housekeeping but was always rectified. Front desk was welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was good nice selections. Suppers were good. There was definitely 1 server we had the opportunity to have on multiple occasions( Imran). Very pleasant and great service. The pool area was nice we did use it a few times. The hotel as a whole needs some upgrading and safes in the room and a mini fridge!"
