"Very clean apartment with great amenities and in the perfect location (walking distance to everything). Loved that there was a fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer on the second floor, the room was very clean, and the staff answered my call on the first ring when I had trouble with the keypad. The place is a super close walk to the Airlink 100 airport bus stop but is a little difficult to find at first since there are no overhead signs. Great stay overall and highly recommend for a few days in...

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, housekeeping is great. location is wonderful. Concierge is fantastic. The only hotel I'll stay in when I'm in Edinburgh. "

W Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with pristine rooms. Abundant luxury in-room amenities (robes, slippers, coffee, tea, and lots more). Great location close to bus station, train station, and multiple restaurants. The staff were friendly, professional, and efficient. Seamless login to wifi. Was able to stream from my device to TV with no technical issues. Never had to wait more than 5 seconds for an elevator. I love that it was actually possible to open the window too! (just a few inches, but enough to get fresh air). Thanks for a terrific stay!"

Motel One Edinburgh - Royal

6/10 Okay

"I didnt use the bar or breakfast facilities. My only issue was the fact the rooms are so spread out. The first room offered you had to use two different lifts to change floors to access it and walk through a rabbit warren of corridors. I have a sore knee so found the distance too far. I was moved to a closer room but this was still quite far away but did only need 1 lift to access it. When I asked why there is nothing on the website or when booking to explain as to why you need to access a different building I was told the room is only allocated the day before so it may not have been so. Still time to warn customers as I would not have stayed if I had known this."
