Top Scottish Gems Hotel Reviews

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The property is clean and has a lovely new restaurant and bar area. We were only staying one night - would have loved to stay longer! Great location about one block from Edinburgh Waverly Station."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, walking distance to most places we wanted to go including the Royal Mile, Princes Street, Stockbridge, Holyrood House, National museum of Scotland, national galleries, Scot Monument, the list goes on. Hotel was excellent for breakfast and we had an evening meal on one of the nights which was also excellent. Bar has a nice ambience and staff very attentive. The room itself was so clean and bed extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"This place is awesome! We stayed in the family room for four and it was comfortable, clean and spacious. Free pre-check in and post-check out luggage storage onsite. Great location right in the middle of the Royal Mile action, yet providing a quiet night’s rest. In room A/C a definite plus."

YOTEL Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"My room was clean and tidy, not the largest of hotel rooms but perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. Breakfast was not great. Food was mostly cold with only one choice of egg which was scrambled eggs , bacon cold, sausage overcooked and not very warm. A microwave cooker may have solved the problem. The bar was good as were the staff. Card payment only, I prefer paying for a drink with cash"
