Destiny Scotland Market St Apartments

"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...

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Staff friendly & helpful Hotel location great Short walk from Market Street exit from Waverley Station. Easy walk to Princess Street and a short walk to Royal Mile (although up hill). A few minor touch ups needed - bathroom door has some dents from room door hitting it and ketgle has to be moved to boik as sockets not near enough. Rm 701"

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"One of the lifts was down for maintenance during our stay which made getting up to our room a little inconvenient. The pool was also closed which was something we were looking forward to using. The staff did offer to shuttle us somewhere else to use their pool but we didn’t want the hassle to opted not to. Overall it’s a great clean hotel with a nice breakfast offering and friendly staff. Fantastic location right next to Calton Hill and a short walk to the Waverly station."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"We liked the communal area with games to relax after a day of walking. Breakfast was good but we found plenty of options nearby too. Liked the location, close to the Royal mile and castle. Kids were comfortable on the sofa bed and the kitchen had everything we needed. "

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"Overall this was a great place to stay with an excellent location, amazing breakfast, clean and well maintained rooms. The only downside while we visited was that only 1 of the 3 elevators was working. The location of breakfast meant that we watched a lot of elderly people struggle with waiting for the elevator which was routinely filled with staff taking bedding to the floors above and they had to wait long periods for it to come back since the other elevators were not working. Once they get this resolved it will not be an issue. We were 2 adults and child of 17 years staying there."
