Top Nelson Monument Hotel Reviews

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice. The location was great especially if you're there for Fringe. It's very centrally located. There are only like 6-7 parking spots available which was a bit difficult. They did tell me when I checked in that their guests can park at the other Apex hotel that is a minute walk away, but I didn't know that beforehand."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

10/10 Excellent

"It was a brand of hotel I'm not used to, but the place was fantastic. Rooms were small, but cozy. Staff was excellent. For an additional 15 pounds I was able to check into my room at noon, which was great since my flight arrived in the morning. Easy walk to the Tram or Airport Bus. Would definitely stay here again. Wish the room had a kettle or microwave. That's the only thing I thought was lacking."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location very good. Property well mateines Very good option"

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great! Clean, nice staff, wonderful location. Comfortable beds. We walked everywhere. can’t wait to come back!"

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Room wasn’t ready but we got 2 drinks for the delay. Really liked the hotel and room etc. Breakfast though was terrible, really bad and not worth the extra money. Sausages inedible beans cold. Such a shame as everything else was good."

voco Edinburgh - Royal Terrace by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"What a great find! We're welcomed upon check-in with a glass of prosecco and then a basket of treats and water when we arrived in our room. Spacious room, very clean, great staff, and we were able to walk most places or catch a bus if needed. We're busy with Fringe Festival so did not use restauran, bar or other amenities that were available simply because we were busy elsewhere. Definitely think this is a great find and would recommend highly!"
