Top City Art Centre Hotel Reviews

W Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful modern hotel right next to St James quarter and 5 minutes walk to Waverley station. Staff are fantastic"

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

8/10 Good

"Not up to the normal Hilton standards. Mold in the bathroom - ceiling and tub surround. Bed was very uncomfortable. Couch with pull out bed was not even something you could sit on, so paying for the additional space if the executive room wasn’t worth it. Literally toilet paper stuffed into holes in the wall for repairs? Scaffolding walkway right outside our windows and men were walking on them with no warning or prior notice."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"It was a nice clean room with a very nice bathroom. However it was the size of a closet and the lack of a window was not the best but we kind of knew it was just for a short stay so it fit the bill. Everything was very modern and clean so it was a pretty nice stay for our needs. No complaints and the location was very convenient"
