Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were amazing modern clean with everything we needed location was great"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"We got an early check in which was fantastic for us. Check in staff very friendly and also the egg station chef was friendly. The room was clean and adequate. The Hotel itself was also clean and in a great location for visiting the new town and old town. Only 1 thing Negative to mention that didn't personally effect us as we were up early and ready to go for Breakfast. Currently there is some kind of building work or maintenance going on. They started what sounded like a pavement cutter at around 6:30AM. I'm sure they just did it for a laugh between themselves. Anyhow like I say it didn't effect us as we were ready and getting dressed and packing. Just be aware of this if your booking"

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"The whole facility was very clean and well kept. The kitchenette was useful and a great size. The bathroom was clean, the shower hot and the towels large. The bed was comfortable for a hotel bed. The curtains were black out and did their job well. It was nice to be able to open the window in our room for fresh air. There was always someone at the front desk even when we checked out to catch our flight at 2am. Every employee we encountered was very friendly and helpful."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed in hostels all over the world and I can't fault this one - it's clean, spacious, well-organised, goes above and beyond a standard hostel, as it has a cafe/restaurant and organises social events via. a WhatsApp group. It also has a pod style layout, which ensures beds are sectioned off with curtains and have their own lights and charge points. Highly recommend!"
