Top Edinburgh Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"The hotel is about a 15-20 minute walk to Edinburgh downtown. The staff were friendly and the room was modern and clean. The restaurant is very over priced with disappointing food. I would recommend not to eat there, there are plenty of breakfast/coffee shops and restaurants in the neighborhood that are a better value."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location in Edinburgh! And the best helpful staff! Definitely would stay here again!"

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"A Wonderful Four-Night Stay – Excellent Staff and Service We stayed at the Holiday Inn Edinburgh for four nights and had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. Our room was clean, spacious and had a great view towards the Edinburgh hills. The location was perfect for us. Several bus stops nearby offer frequent services into Edinburgh city centre, and the airport link bus also stops on the main road in front of the hotel. Despite the convenient location and nearby roads, we didn't find the room noisy at all and slept well throughout our stay. We also made good use of the hotel's facilities. The swimming pool was clean and, although not particularly large, was more than enough to keep us active while travelling. We especially appreciated that the pool stayed open until quite late, which suited us very well compared with some other hotels we have visited. The gym was also good. We had a pub meal at the hotel. The food was straightforward, good-quality pub food, but it was very well prepared and enjoyable. Most importantly, the staff throughout the hotel were very friendly and helpful, and the whole atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming. I would particularly like to praise the hotel team for their help after our stay. Unfortunately, I left my business phone at the hotel, which caused me quite a panic when I realised. A big thank you to the whole team, especially for the excellent help in getting my phone back!"

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect with their being a hop-on, hop-off bus stop directly across the streets, the royal mile within close walking distance, and a major car rental close by as well. Everything was nice overall at the hotel as well and the food/drinks served are of good quality though a bit pricey."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The gym was good. Staff helpful & room was comfortable with nice bedding. Very close to the castle since we were attending the Royal Tattoo & was walking distance."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice. The location was great especially if you're there for Fringe. It's very centrally located. There are only like 6-7 parking spots available which was a bit difficult. They did tell me when I checked in that their guests can park at the other Apex hotel that is a minute walk away, but I didn't know that beforehand."

Britannia Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was wonderful"
