Top Peebles Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location. No air conditioning so room felt stuffy. Hotel had nice breakfast. Location was the key"

Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club

10/10 Excellent

"Great pool"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this hotel, (particularly Amos and Sharon) were exceptional. Unfortunately I had the misfortune of falling quite ill during my stay, during breakfast of all times on the day of my checkout, and these individuals responded to my situation in an extremely professional manner. They catered to my needs at the time with tremendous empathy and concern, and made sure my wife was informed and comfortable with the medical procedures of a foreign country regarding ambulatory transportation, and her accommodations for that night. Even though the hotel was fully booked, they managed to secure a room for her so she didn't have to relocate. Obviously I have nothing but praise for this hotel. If I'm ever in Edinburgh again, this will be my preferred choice. I am back in Canada now and doing much better and wish to express my sincere thanks as well as utmost congratulations to these two outstanding individuals. This hotel is very fortunate to have them in their employ. ."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Was a nice room. Not very big, but its expected. I was worried about the gym as the photos online show a poorly equipped room. However, they have upgraded since then! It is still a small room, where 1-3 people can workout at the same time. But they have dumbbells up to 22KG, a seated bench press up to 100KG, a leg extension machine, a decent rower and 2 other cardio machines. Its a big hot in there and I'm not sure if the window opens, but its much better than I was expecting. Location is good, off to one end of town more but was quite and still easy to walk to main transit stations."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable room in a fantastic location!"

Village Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The whole experience was great, from the very welcoming and helpful staff, facilities, cleanliness and delicious breakfast."

Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Good location. Rooms on the non castle side hear garbage trucks early in the morning. Other than that I would be happy to stay there again."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for exploring old and “new” Edinburgh!! Right on the Royal Mile and less than 15 minutes to any and all the sites—- great pub restaurants immediately nearby at reasonable prices- really recommended!!"
