Broughton

"Do not hesitate! This gorgeous 200-year-old 3rd floor flat is exactly as advertised. So much better than any hotel. Our family of 7 thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Great location near Calton Hill. Many restaurants within walking distance. The only caveat - there is no lift (elevator), so all guests must be able to climb 70 steps. Martin was an attentive and helpful host. So glad we chose this as our Edinburgh home base."

Top Edinburgh and Lothian Hotel Reviews

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great place for someone who didn’t plan on hanging out in the room. It was clean, cozy, and had everything I needed for a comfortable night’s sleep."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location."

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

8/10 Good

"Added breakfast and it was well worth 12.50 There’s a lot of deferred maintenance in the building. Pool and changing areas were dirty and had mold on the ceiling. Hoses were going through the changing room. We went to the pool and hot tub in the evening and it was really very crowded, my tip is to go when all of the families are at the zoo. I had the place to myself. Area is ok not a lot going on if you’re not going to the zoo. It was ok but I don’t think I would go back and stay just for the property"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel in the heart of Edinburgh! 🏰✨ The hotel is exceptionally clean, with comfortable accommodations and excellent, friendly service. The shower is amazing—definitely one of the highlights! 🚿 The location couldn’t be better, right on the Royal Mile and within walking distance of so many of Edinburgh’s main attractions, restaurants, and shops. Super central and convenient for exploring the city. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
