Top Military Tattoo Theatre Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfection from the minute I walked in the door. Excellent location, great staff, beautiful view of the castle and good food. What more could you ask for!"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is on a flat part of Grassmarket. The Saturday outdoor market is right across the street, as is the hop- hop-off bus and at least 6 pubs and some simple eateries. Victoria street is a 3 min. walk. I loved the location. The hotel is well maintained and you can get lots of towels or tea from the cleaning staff, who are always around. If you want the hotel pub or pool, you’d have to go to the sister Apex hotel. I liked the quietness of this one. Only problem is the corridors and rooms were too hot for my liking(went in autumn)."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Location was awesome. In the middle of things. Walking distance to the castle, stops of tours, restaurants, shopping. Room’s temperature was weird. The air conditioner would turn off by itself. It would have been nice to have a refrigerator in the room or some ice machines in the floor. Archie was helpful giving me tips on tours and restaurants. I was also able to do a couple of hours of early check in which was great. I would definitely return here when I return to Scotland."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Apex Waterloo is conveniently located to many of Edinburgh’s attractions. It’s an easy walk to Weaverly Station. Close to Princes Street Gardens. If you forgot anything there’s a mall right behind the hotel and the shops on Princes Street is an easy walk. Easy access to the Royal Mile. It’s my second time to base my Edinburgh trip from this hotel. I’ll use it for future trips too."

Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Ideal hotel for any concerts at Usher Hall. Breakfast was very nice as was the evening nibbles and wine included in our room price. Staff at both these eating times were lovely and went out of their way to look after us. The disappointment was in the room. My husband found a pair of paper pants in one pocket of his robe and the empty packet for them in the other- this made as feel that the robe had not been washed. In addition to this there was one packet of shortbread for the two of us and the hanky box only has a few hankies. We did report the robe as felt this really was unacceptable. We were given an apology. Would we return? Not very sure we would given the robe scenario and response."
