Top Melville Monument Hotel Reviews

Market Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"Check in is on 7th floor. Only one entery. No place to stop to unload car, no luggage cart or staff at entery for directions. Overall 5 stars. An exuberant good morning from housekeeping team members in hall way is a great start to the day. Hotel pre booked ride to airport and he was waiting 15 mins early! Was last stop on 3 country 14 night trip. Felt well taken care of."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our hotel room was comfortable, very clean and spaciously well appointed. The staff at reception was courteous and anxious to help as needed, appreciated when arriving after flight issues at 11 pm. Netish was especially helpful when locating a driver to take us to York at the end of our stay. We found the staff in all areas of the hotel to be welcoming and friendly. One elevator was out of service for replacement, causing delays for guests and staff, but that was the only difficulty during our stay. I would not hesitate to recommend the Apex hotel and plan to stay there again when visiting Edinburgh."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great hotel that has all the necessary amenities to make a trip pleasant. We stayed 7 nights and it was the best decision we made to book here. Blackout curtains in the room were such a nice feature and the bathrooms and showers were top notch. The location is perfect and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We look forward to our next stay with Apex 💯"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The stand out was the service. Friendly staff and excellent service. Room service was speedy and if you had breakfast included there was no extra charge. We had an issue with our TV and someone was there within 2 mins. The amenities in the bathroom smelt gorgeous. Loved the variety in the mini bar. Good size mugs for a cuppa. Only down side was the water pressure in the shower."
