Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a lovely property. The rooms were spacious and clean and the beds were very comfortable. Would definitely book here again"

Holyrood Aparthotel

8/10 Good

"Nice big apartment and good location for the main hub of The Royal Mile. There was also a washer/dryer which came in handy. Very quiet as set back off the main road. Only problem for us was that the power kept tripping randomly and we had to go down for reception to go and reset it. It became a bit of a pain after a couple of days. Not sure if this happens in every room but it was an inconvenience to us. Overall, well priced for what you got and location."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Bring a washcloth, the hotel doesn’t provide them. Otherwise, everything about this hotel is perfect. The location simply cannot be beat, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the hotel breakfast is incredible. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone going to Edinburgh!"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"We stay in Edinburgh alot because our daughter goes to uni over there, but this was the first time at Virgin - picked primarily because of it being close to a marathon she was running. The location is wonderful, walking distance to everything and all main attractions. Only complaint is it is on a one of those streets you must see and that comes with alot of tourists, which made it a bit noisy at night. The staff was fabulous. We asked for a late check out because of the marathon and they were very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again."
