Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"This Hotel was a great surprise. Friendly staff, comfy quiet room, good breakfast and a Great location! I highly recommend!"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect stay in Edinburgh-great location, right by the station and between old town and new town. Lovely welcome by the friendly staff and free glass of champange was an added bonus. Beautiful clean room although we were overlooking the street there was no noise. House keeping was impeccable every day even though we were a bit late leaving our lovely room somedays. We had a bottle of wine in the rooftop restaurant and you couldn't beat the views. Staff were very friendly there as well, even though we were only having a drink. .All in all I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again next time we visit Edinburgh "

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Before checking in the hotel reached out and asked if I had any special requests or if there was anything I wanted them to know, so I mentioned that my wife and I were celebrating our 12th anniversary and not only did they left us a tray with chocolate and berries but the gave us a complimentary upgrade to a castle view room and it was beautiful, the staff was so nice and helpful that when I go back to Edinburgh I will definitely stay here again, and not to mention the location was amazing."
