Top South Queensferry Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, great view from the room. Breakfast was excellent, staff were helpful, plenty of onsite parking for a fee"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay Breakfast was great Friendly staff"

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the food and staff were great. The only complaint was the bathroom. For an executive room, the bathroom was small and cramped, the sink didn’t drain well and the door looked like it just had the bottom sawn off it! The bed was fine, it was hard but I don’t mind a firm bed, the pillows were hard and uncomfortable so woke up with a sore neck! Great location for the Zoo and other local amenities."

Village Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Great pool and health facilities"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, staff was very nice."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great view"
