Top Melville Monument Hotel Reviews

Albany Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and friendly staff! Our room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was large (triple room). It was a great location-5 minutes from the tram. I would stay here again!"

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Apex always seems good value for money. It is in a very convenient, albeit crowded location, but our room was very comfortable and quiet. Very near all you want to see in Edinburgh. There is a tunnel at bottom floor that gives you an easier access to the train station...much better than fighting the hordes on the main street. Did not use any of their amenities as we were only in the city a short time, but would definitely recommend."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"The room was okay, amenities were good. The hotel is lacking in, no ice container, having. To buy the bottle of water. Another sore point was having to lift our suitcases up approx. 9 stairs to the front desk, then being told there’s another entrance with only 3 stairs. Once checked in, we had quite a few stairs to traverse before we made it to our room. We choose this hotel for the proximity to the Royal Mile. I can honestly say we got our work out everyday!"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed our stay there. Unfortunately the lift was out of order but the staff were really helpful in bringing our cases up and down the stairs! Staff were friendly. Atmosphere was great. Would definitely stay there again and have recommended it to other friends and family. Interesting historical background too."
