Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Great location and staff"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Location is excellent. 1 minute walk up some stairs and you are in the Royal Mile. Hotel was well maintained, but undergoing some construction, presumably to improve the landscaping which would be nice. One of the elevators did not work for the 3 days we were there which caused a wait a couple times. Overall, if the construction was completed and the elevator was working, it would have been very good."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"This is primarily a hostel with shared rooms. We stayed in a private room with ensuite bath on 4th floor- elevator only went to 3rd floor. Staff was most helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the free walking tour, didn’t try any of other activities offered. We had tasty dinner and breakfast in the cafe on the ground floor. Definitely would go back! Check-in desk is next to the bar, had some trouble finding it at first."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and comfortable hotel. The staff was very helpful. We didn't do the breakfast but had a meal in the restaurant and the food was tasty and a good value for a hotel restaurant. The room was clean. The bathroom was a bit small but it was sufficient for what we needed. The location is convenient for sightseeing and shopping with lots of restaurants, coffee shops and stores nearby."
