Top Scottish Storytelling Centre Hotel Reviews

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Great, central location. Friendly staff, modern room."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location in Edinburgh! And the best helpful staff! Definitely would stay here again!"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect hotel that was in the center of it all! Down the hill from the Royal Mile with plenty of shops surrounding. A very short walk to new town and right next to the park. No need for a car. Breakfast was reasonable, but the same every day. It was a very good breakfast, so no complaining there. We had an overnight stay and then came back for 4 days. The second room we had (room with a view) was enormous with a fantastic view of the beautiful Cockburn street and new town. Staff was helpful at all times. Highly recommend. The bar was a nice place to wind down every night and was very pretty and comfortable."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect with their being a hop-on, hop-off bus stop directly across the streets, the royal mile within close walking distance, and a major car rental close by as well. Everything was nice overall at the hotel as well and the food/drinks served are of good quality though a bit pricey."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The gym was good. Staff helpful & room was comfortable with nice bedding. Very close to the castle since we were attending the Royal Tattoo & was walking distance."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was great! They were very hospitable and helpful. They made your stay wonderful. They also may many events having at the CODE. The C.O.D.E is convenient to everything..museums, shopping, Mary Kings Close, the Lost Close and many restaurants and pubs. The location is next to St Giles cathedral on the Royal Mile...I would diffently stay there again."

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."

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!"
