Top Melville Monument Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location and super helpful and friendly staff!! Absolutely enjoyed my stay there!"

Fraser Suites Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for three nights in July 2026. We were well received by the front desk, everyone was very friendly. The location was spectacular- right in the center of the royal mile, with truly breathtaking views. The room was spacious, but you could tell the hotel hadn’t been renovated recently and some furniture was a bit worn. All in all, we were happy with our stay here."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice property, modern feeling. The room was a good size, comfortable bed. The hallways were hot and the carpet had a bleach spot. Some of the woodwork needs to be touched up with paint. The bathroom sink drained quite slowly. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The bar area and restaurant were very good. The Sunday roast was excellent and reasonably priced for the quality. The location was convenient to walk everywhere, but there is climb to get to New Town. Overall, I’d stay there again,"
