Top Colinton Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"ok"

Novotel Edinburgh Park

10/10 Excellent

"I chose well, the hotel has a fantastic staff (and I would like to thank Daniela in reception for going the extra mile for us), the room was very nice and very clean, the location is great because you have everything around you and the tram took us from the airport straight there, I’m from there we could go to the centre of Edinburgh for £2.80 each. The Ubers are also very cheap. The swimming pool, the steam room and the sauna were really good, the food at the hotel was also pretty good. I do recommend this place, without any need doubt."

Dakota Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived late at night after our flight was cancelled due to the storm. Callum and Alan were on reception and couldnt have been nicer! We mentioned my mum was diabetic and they helped to find out where the closest chemist was and offered fruit etc for supper. They made a stressful time much easier. Thank you so much for your kindness, it was so appreciated. Would definitely recommend ☺ xx"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location with an excellent castle view and modern, comfortable rooms. The windows were well soundproofed from outside noise, but there was noticeable noise within the hotel from slamming doors and limited soundproofing between rooms. I did lose power on my last morning, which was frustrating, but the hotel did offer some compensation for the inconvenience. Overall, a solid stay with a few minor drawbacks."
