Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

2/10 Terrible

"We had to wait for an elevator to go down 2 floors, then walk along a hallway and take another elevator up 1 floor, then drag our bags up 4 steps to a room that smelled like mold. Only take a room in the front of the hotel."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was helpful and friendly. Fast Check in. I had checked in before arrivaled. This trip was for my birthday. We had 2 free drinks at the bar of hotel and a surprise birthday dessert in the room. Bedroom had a good size and had a cosy bed. We had a good sleep. Has smart TV supported mirroring for my phone to watching video show on TV. Air conditioning was good .Breakfast is nice. It was buffet breakfast . The buffet food maybe not many foods choice. But they also had menu options including for breakfast . We were really enjoyed it. The price was £17.50 ( buffet and menu options)if you booking the breakfast . Walk in will be £19. It a good price for a breakfast at hotel. Good food is not cheap in there area of Edinburgh . We also really enjoyed the swim pool, sauna and steam room. Very relaxing before we going out. Location was good. Easy to walking to anywhere in 5-30 minutes. For shopping, restaurant and Sightseeing locations. Is a wonderful hotel. Only 1 happened made me disappointed . I found Lipstick print on the cup when I tried to made a cup of coffee. I hope they will improve the room keeping of the future .Anyway ,I like this hotel. We will visit again of the future."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It is a wonderful place to stay, in a wonderful location! You are right across the street from many pubs and restaurants, a very short walk to many, many tourist spots. I have no complaints about the hotel other than the breakfast is a little pricey. But there were so many places nearby to eat we only ate there once anyway. Every floor had a filtered water dispenser and you had a carafe in your room that you could just go fill whenever you needed."

Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"We stayed a night at the Haymarket location. The location is very close to the tram station so the connection to airport and the main tourist attraction is great . Lots of restaurants in and around the hotel. The staff was helpful and helped store our luggage before and after our stay, which was super helpful! The rooms were clean and great choices of tea/coffee and also espresso! Would definitely recommend it for the price, location and amenities compared to the very expensive hotels near the castle."
