"The toilet was so high up i couldn't do a sh*t. I'm six foot tall, but when I was sat on the toilet my feet were not touching the ground. Overall, the place was pretty bleak, e.g. no mirror in the bedroom to check my outfit, only one pillow so I got neck ache in bed, no towel rail or hooks anywhere in the bathroom so couldn't hang up a towel, no hook in the bedroom to hang up a coat, no toilet roll holder. These things are not expensive to install. The bathroom floor was a bit dirty when...

Top Craigmillar Castle Hotel Reviews

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location to walk to all that Edinburgh has to offer … the staff was friendly & helpful."

The Scott

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful place to stay. Such a beautiful building on the Un. of Edinburgh campus with two wonderful restaurants available. Not far from The Royal Mile, yet far enough away for peace and quiet."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

8/10 Good

"It is a popular spot for organized tour groups; consequently, there can be long queues at breakfast when all three buses depart for their routes in the morning—plan your trip accordingly. Especially in the Saturday morning"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was close proximity to your needs and wants. If you are there for a day and just needed some rest every thing was right there."

Gifford House

10/10 Excellent

"Easy check in and the staff were communicative when we reached out. Great place to stay in Edinburgh and very clean! East to hop on busses around town as well."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"First Class experience from start to finish! The Virgin company, hands down, knows what they are doing when it comes to travel and hospitality, coming from someone who was once an executive of a 5 star luxury brand. Virgin Edinburgh was such a vibe. The whole aesthetic is sexy, sultry and ever so inviting. You are immersed in intrigue at every turn with the eccentric decor and vibrancy of color throughout the hotel. The staff, First Class from the moment we were greeted at the door, to check-in, the bar and each restaurant, to the housekeeping staff, excellence every step of the way. This brand does not miss a beat. We were celebrating two momentous occasions; 30 years married and my 50th Birthday and the thoughtful gestures extended were immensely appreciated by both myself and my husband. The hotel manager, unfortunately I didn’t get his name, even went as far as looking through several cases of whiskey just to find the certain numbered bottle my husband was looking to purchase. That in itself, to the extra mile, was above and beyond. Throughout our stay, there were so many of these little gestures that made my heart pitter patter and solidified my loyalty not only to this hotel in future travels but to the brand itself, Virgin. This company knows what personality makes the brand successful. Perfect location! Near Royal Mile & Victoria St. It’s on the higher price point but you get what you pay for. Book it! You won’t regret it!"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

"Really great experience. Excellent location."

Dorstan House

10/10 Excellent

Kildonan Lodge Hotel

8/10 Good

"We were in the separate guest building and had no real issues! Room was clean and building was clean! We had no breakfast at the location and parking. Was right next to building!interaction with staff was limited to check in only!"
