"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...

Top Museum of Childhood Hotel Reviews

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Bar drinks were inspiring and tasty ! The staff were friendly and the lounge were very relaxed "

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Hilton Edinburgh Carlton was fantastic, offering a perfect base for exploring the city. The hotel is situated in an unbeatable location right on North Bridge, just steps away from the Royal Mile. It is incredibly convenient for travel, being a very short walk from Waverley Station and the St Andrew Square tram stops, which made getting around effortless. The Property While the exterior is currently covered in scaffolding, don't let that deter you. Once you step inside, the lobby is gorgeous and welcoming. The contrast between the construction outside and the elegance inside is striking. The Room We stayed in a room with two double beds, and we were pleasantly surprised by the size—it was huge, especially for a city-center hotel. There was plenty of space to relax without feeling cramped. Final Verdict Between the spacious accommodations and the perfect location for sightseeing and transit, this stay was ideal. We would definitely return!"
