Top Edinburgh and Lothian Hotel Reviews

Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club

8/10 Good

"The property was beautiful, and the outside was very well kept. All employees were very helpful. Around our tub was some grunge that looked like mold and I had a hard time getting the shampoo out of the dispenser in the tub."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, so accommodating and the staff were very pleasant and helpful, always cheerful and smiling. They made us feel very at home. They also helped me pull a surprise off for my aunt. In addition to that, the location is perfect. If you’re stressing about what part of town to stay in, this is where you need to stay."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall good stay, very conveniently located to Waverley, Old Town/New Town, and many city sights."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

"Lovely clean room and amazing staff."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Everything from the beginning of our stay was amazing. Archie at the front desk is an asset to your company and deserves a large raise. We are from the United States and never felt more welcome from the minute we stepped in this hotel. I'm pretty sure It had to do with Archie at the front desk his personality and love for his job made our stay one of the best. As for a woman at the front desk was not nice to my husband one of the days we were there. We are here in Scotland for another 4 weeks and hope to meet more people like Archie. His knowledge of where to go what to do and what to see was perfect. I must add the room was clean , big & the view was absolutely amazing as we had a room with a balcony. We would like to Thank Archie for an amazing reception. Claudette & John"

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It was not much of a hassle to get into the old town where all the action is as as well as the Airport. Otherwise a pretty normal hotel. Best part, it was half the price as downtown or old city places."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, breakfast was fabulous, staff was very helpful, location was ideal. Steps from Royal Mile, and short walk to train station/bus stop/tram stop. Highly recommend!"
