"Edinburgh is very chaotic/touristy on the Royal Mile and this was right in the chaos, however, it felt very safe & the room itself was very spacious, clean & worth the price for it all. I had to contact them once for directions and they answered right away and were super helpful. It sucks there are stairs you have to carry your luggage up and the luggage room was on the first floor, very small/crowded & right next to our apartment room door, but it didn’t seem to get too loud or an issue when...

Safestay Edinburgh Cowgate

8/10 Good

"It was my first hostel experience and I thought it was great. The location is excellent, and the staff are very attentive. The only downsides (nothing that would stop me from returning) were the noise in the hallways and the bathroom, which could have been cleaner. But I highly recommend it."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Room was nice - a little small but when you are only there to sleep it was perfect - bed was comfortable. Location was perfect for touring the city."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

"Nice stay - rooms are small but functional. So if you know you’ll be out and about and not spending much time in your room this works well! Breakfast included was nice but note there’s no “hot breakfast”. Think pastries, fruit, boiled egg, yogurt, etc"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"Right on Grassmarket is centrally located. Area wasn’t noisy which I didn’t expect. Room was clean, well appointed and kept up. Staff very helpful. Only complaint is that television selection wasn’t great. Not bad but not great."
