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

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

8/10 Good

"This hotel is perfectly placed for those wishing toto take advantage of everything on the Royal Mile. It is ugly outside tho with scaffolding al around. No work is being done however. They could use something more to to on soelevators and the breakfast is expensive. I, however, felt safe and totally happy with my room and the location of the hotel."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very clean and the rooms were exceptional. We didn't need cleaning everyday, but the bed was always made up and we appreciated that after a long day. Breakfast was amazing! I actually enjoyed the buffet more and Debbie loved the eggs benedict!"

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location if visiting Edinburgh zoo - literally on the doorstep! Staff were so helpful & polite. Breakfast delicious - great range of food. All in all an excellent stay, thank you."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and friendly staff. Lots of bars and restaurants in Grassmarket, and it is convenient to the sites. The rooms were very comfortable."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The property is well located to all major locations including restaurants, shopping, Edinburgh castle, Waverley train station, tram and bus lines, etc. Staff are helpful and the restaurant has awesome views of Edinburgh castle and the park across the street. Breakfast was delicious with a Buffett of a wide selection of items. My one wish is that coffee was better. I highly recommend a stay there."
