Top The Caves Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s situated in the center close to the castle and lots of shops. It’s easy to get to via bus or tram from the airport."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is as described, in some cases even better. The location cannot be beat for exploring both Old Town and the Princes St side of Edinburgh. It's quiet inside, comfortable beds and well furnished units. The water pressure in the shower is outstanding and the laundry facilities much appreciated! We loved our stay and hope to return."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"There was construction at the hotel, which I was not made aware of prior to booking but for the most part the hotel was excellent. The staff was very polite, kind and professional. I really appreciate the service. The breakfast was excellent. The upgraded room was a nice touch, allowing me to see the castle from my room."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were so helpful and accommodating. Pool facilities were lovely and relaxing especially considering how poor the weather was the weekend we visited. Really excellent location for getting around the city as well as Waverley train station. Breakfast was also lovely. I would definitely stay again!"
