Top New Town Hotel Reviews

Old Waverley Hotel

8/10 Good

"Property was very centrally located, staff were friendly, and restaurant was nice. Floors in the room were a bit dirty."

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!"

voco Edinburgh - Royal Terrace by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We have nothing but good things to say about Voco Edinburgh - Royal Terrace. The hotel is beautiful and the service is fantastic. We were originally staying in a standard room, which was lovely, but our bathroom fan wasn't operational, so the staff upgraded us to what we think was a premium room, which was just beautiful. The hotel in the perfect spot, where it was walkable distance to the city center, but in a slightly quieter area surrounded by great little coffee places and shops. We definitely recommend staying at the Royal Terrace and choosing the premium room when visiting Edinburgh."

ibis Styles Edinburgh Centre St Andrew Square

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I had a great stay at this property on a 4-day visit to Edinburgh. It's centrally located in the New Town, close to Princes Street and a short walk to Old Town and the Royal Mile. It's got a boutique-y vibe which we liked. Everyone we met on the staff was very friendly and helpful, and helped us arrange accommodations when our return flight was cancelled. Our room was very clean and comfortable, and we greatly appreciated how clean and made-up it was when we returned at the end of a long day of exploring beautiful Edinburgh. One of the hotel's great features is its extensive continental breakfast. Everything we tried was good, and they have plenty of seating. We would very highly recommend this hotel, and would absolutely stay there again!"
