"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes. We did have a mix-up with our booking, as the room was reserved for three people but didn’t have a sleeping option for the third guest. However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

Market Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"I"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was incredible. Great location close to places we wanted to go."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Great location, quiet, and easy check-in. The staff were polite and professional. The stay was pretty pricey but it's Edinburgh. I would stay again if I were to return."

Stay Central

8/10 Good

"My husband and I enjoyed staying at Stay Central. It was in a great location, about a 5 minute walk from the Royal Mile. My only complaint is that when I asked for more pillows (there were 4 in the room), they said they ran out and none were available. Given this is a 4 star hotel, I find that a bit off and disappointing. Other than that, the staff were friendly and helpful"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

"All was excellent! So clean and charming. Excellent location. Staff is very welcoming, helpful and attentive. Would recommend."

BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent
