Top Scottish Storytelling Centre Hotel Reviews

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The property was smack in the middle of Edinburgh. Steps away from new town and just a short walk to Old Town. Staff were very helpful and our room stay was very comfortable."

Stay Central

10/10 Excellent

"The location was great, staff great, and room clean and comfortable. We ended up being given the accessible room, which we didn't need, but it wasn't a problem. The in-room speakers were a fun idea. Kettle and coffee/tea was much appreciated. We stayed on the other side of the property and couldn't hear the bar, but we were next to an alley where once we heard lots of trash being taken out. Overall, though, it was quiet. The only issue we had was that the TV remote had been replaced with a universal remote which made some things inaccessible. Perhaps they didn't want us to use the smart features (I have the same TV at home), but it is also impossible to put Closed Captioning on, even for freeview, with the current remote. Just a small thing, but it made it so I couldn't enjoy the great TV."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Located across the street from the train station and a block away from the Royal Mile"

BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very nice and spacious. The bed was extremely comfy. Included breakfast every day was delicious with a wide variety of choices. Would stay here again."

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."

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good

"They did not have laundry facilities on location like stated on the website. You can use the laundry cleaning option for a fee, but you cant use washers and dryers on location. I booked this hotel for this. There is a laundromat down the road a tick, however."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Excellent place to stay in old town. Very centrally located. Good restaurant and bar and very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend"

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was helpful and friendly. Location was perfect for either public transit or walking the city. The property was clean and offered lots of amenities. I would definitely stay here again."
