"Great experience"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Location perfect for a first time visit to Edinburgh as so close to many historical sites and lots of restaurants and shops. We stayed at beginning and end of our trip.our 4th floor room more spacious than the room we had on the 3rd floor.Both were clean. We did not eat but did enjoy a drink at the bar one evening with a friendly crowd."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing! They were so helpful in making arrangements for an amazing driver to St Andrew’s (James) for us. Carlos and everyone at the hotel was very helpful in getting us cars, making reservations and recommendations that were all spot on! The location was awesome as well as our room and all the amenities. Loved our stay!"

Hub By Premier Inn Edinburgh Cc Rose Street

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect, most convenient location…walking distance to all the main sites. Very clean, cosy, well designed/laid out micro-sized rooms - I had a double bed that works especially well for solo travellers but also for couples or parent + child. The 24hr coffee/tea station downstairs/lobby level cafe was also a great feature and had a nice, casual, comfortable, welcoming vibe. The luggage storage for a few hours post checkout is super convenient & I much appreciated it! All the staff are very nice & welcoming."
