Top St James Quarter Hotel Reviews

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Conveniently situated, good breakfast but room gloomy as some lights weren't working. Bed not very comfortable as I didn't realise it was a bed settee and the mattress was thin and lumpy."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was extremely well situated and everything was within walking distance. The full breakfasts were fantastic and staff were always friendly and helpful. Only down side was that because it was right downtown, on some nights it was loud and we were unable to leave the windows open. But the room had a fan which we made good use of. Would highly recommend!"

Market Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"There was not enough information provided to the customer at check in regarding the amenities of the room. Also, one of the attendants at the champagne/breakfast bar was a little rude concerning eating breakfast there. I did not make a reservation there for breakfast the next day because I did not know you had too! If anyone had told me that I needed to make a reservation I would have done so. Maybe someone should talk to the short (maybe French) guy who works there about giving more information about reservations before chastising customers about not making a reservation! Overall, good service and good breakfast selections."
