Top Museum on the Mound Hotel Reviews

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel . Location is unbeatable. Staff very helpful. Direct access to train station via elevator."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"Staff was warm, welcoming and helpful. Rooms are clean and beds comfortable. Air conditioning worked well. No kettle or coffee machine in the room. No mini-fridge or ice machine. No desk or table in the room. No USB-C ports in the room, though there was a USB port and adapters were sold from a vending machine in the lobby. You can get a cup of tea in the lobby for 2 UK pounds. There are some coffee shops nearby including Starbucks by the train station. Shower is quite narrow, though clean and modern. I didn't like the smell of the shampoo provided, but I will say that it was wonderful with my hair. We purchased a bar of soap at Boots because the pump on the shower gel/shampoo/conditioner combo was so annoying. It only gave a little bit of soap at a time. No lotion or face cloths were provided. The towels were more like bath sheets, large and fluffy. So, a mixed bag, really. For me, providing free coffee and tea would have done a lot to make the stay more pleasant."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing! They were so helpful in making arrangements for an amazing driver to St Andrew’s (James) for us. Carlos and everyone at the hotel was very helpful in getting us cars, making reservations and recommendations that were all spot on! The location was awesome as well as our room and all the amenities. Loved our stay!"

Hub By Premier Inn Edinburgh Cc Rose Street

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect, most convenient location…walking distance to all the main sites. Very clean, cosy, well designed/laid out micro-sized rooms - I had a double bed that works especially well for solo travellers but also for couples or parent + child. The 24hr coffee/tea station downstairs/lobby level cafe was also a great feature and had a nice, casual, comfortable, welcoming vibe. The luggage storage for a few hours post checkout is super convenient & I much appreciated it! All the staff are very nice & welcoming."
