Top Murrayfield Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s situated in the center close to the castle and lots of shops. It’s easy to get to via bus or tram from the airport."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"There was construction at the hotel, which I was not made aware of prior to booking but for the most part the hotel was excellent. The staff was very polite, kind and professional. I really appreciate the service. The breakfast was excellent. The upgraded room was a nice touch, allowing me to see the castle from my room."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were so helpful and accommodating. Pool facilities were lovely and relaxing especially considering how poor the weather was the weekend we visited. Really excellent location for getting around the city as well as Waverley train station. Breakfast was also lovely. I would definitely stay again!"

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Though the location on Southbridge was excellent for Waverley rail station, the surrounding area was very busy with many vulnerable people about and I felt intimidated. The hotel and lobby were quite secure with a constant presence of reception staff."

Murrayfield Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights toward the end of our trip to Scotland. The hotel is housed in an older building, but the bathrooms have been nicely updated. Overall, we found our room comfortable, although with the colder weather, it was somewhat difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature. One important consideration is that the hotel does not have an elevator, so be prepared to carry your luggage up several flights of stairs, depending on your room's location. I also had breakfast at the hotel's restaurant on one occasion, and unfortunately, the experience was rather disappointing. The service was not particularly friendly or attentive, and I had to ask for coffee several times. The breakfast itself was average at best. On a more positive note, the hotel staff were polite and courteous throughout our stay. One big advantage of this hotel, particularly for those travelling by car, is the availability of complimentary parking, which is convenient."
