Top City Art Centre Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was so nice and helpful. Breakfast was very costly, $22.00 per person for an ok buffet"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location was excellent. Very close to Victoria street. Great access to the castle, royal mile and restaurants in Grassmarket. Room was just okay, the floor was so loud you could hear everyone walking by and if your partner went to the restroom. The shower had a small glass half door so water got all over the floor when taking a shower. The pool and sauna was a nice add. The room view I purchased didn’t look like the picture. Had very large windows and the room we had just had one smaller window, you could see the castle just not as pictured in the room we were given. You can’t control the temperature of the room so that was a downside. They provide a small fan but sometimes it got really hot. Didn’t eat at the hotel so no opinions of the options. "

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Staff friendly & helpful Hotel location great Short walk from Market Street exit from Waverley Station. Easy walk to Princess Street and a short walk to Royal Mile (although up hill). A few minor touch ups needed - bathroom door has some dents from room door hitting it and ketgle has to be moved to boik as sockets not near enough. Rm 701"
