Top Greyfriars Kirk Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in a Great location for site seeing & walking around, the breakfast was very good. There are lots of restaurants nearby. Our room was hot- no AC, which I don’t remember seeing this mentioned when I booked online."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"H"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Overall, this was a great property to stay at if you are visiting Edinburgh for the first time. Located within walking distance of public transit and many of the popular sights, making it a convenient choice. Stay didn’t blow me away, but was good enough to meet our needs. Towels and sheets were changed daily, which was nice, but sometimes appears to be dirty (specks of black on towels and sheets). We requested a quieter room, which seemed to help reduce noise."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay and location."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay here. The rooms and amenities were very nice. The staff was friendly and helpful and was always willing to help with any needs. The breakfast was also very good. We ate there each morning and everything from the egg's benedict, the Scottish breakfast, the Belgium waffles were all very good. They also had a nice selection of honey and jams. Make sure you get the breakfast when staying here."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

"Overall a very pleasant stay"
