Top Real Mary King's Close Hotel Reviews

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"This was an excellent, modern apartment hotel with an absolutely fantastic location. We really appreciated the kitchenette after traveling for a few weeks - it was so nice to be able to stock up on breakfast and snacks to have around. Beds were comfy, shower a good size, and our room was very quiet so we got a great rest. It was close to the bus line and simple to walk where we needed to go. If you want to be in the action without having to listen to the action, it is a perfect retreat."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Concierge was amazing! Definitely the highlight of our stay. The room was comfy and clean. Great location, especially since it’s near the bus stop. Would definitely recommend this place."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! Everything was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was wonderful—always friendly, welcoming, and eager to help with anything we needed. The location was fantastic, with so many attractions, shops, and restaurants nearby, making it easy to explore and enjoy our trip. The hotel was worth every penny and truly made our visit even more memorable. Our only regret is that we didn’t have enough time to experience everything the area has to offer! We enjoyed ourselves so much that we’re already planning a return trip in the next few years. We highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again!"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, really stylish especially for the price. The wee double room was basic in amenities but thoughtfully decorated and had what you need, spotless too! It was definitely wee but perfect for one person and more than suitable for two if you’re happy to be cosy! They accommodated bag storage and late check out without a fuss and were friendly and helpful."
