Top Museum of Childhood Hotel Reviews

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Great breakfast and super friendly staff"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Everything about the hotel was great except the breakfast. For a 5 star hotel it should be much better. Not many choices , hard sausage, and awful potatoes. The best thing is the fresh eggs and omlettes the chef will make you fresh. Then I didn’t have a room number to charge my 20 percent discount to so I never received that."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely incredible stay. While I won’t go into specifics, the staff here went completely above and beyond in a way that left me overwhelmed with gratitude. Their kindness and exceptional service turned a standard hotel stay into an unforgettable experience. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The team here are truly special."
