Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG

8/10 Good

"Location was perfect for the zoo next door. The shower didn’t work so had to have a bath."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed at the Alex for 4 days on a recent trip to Edinburgh. We’re from Canada and it was our first visit to Scotland so we were very excited to stay right in the thick of things. The hotel was in the perfect location, we could see the castle and were only a couple of minutes away from Victoria Street. The Apex pool and sauna were a fun little edition as well! I highly recommend."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

6/10 Okay

"As of May ‘26, the hotel seems to have a fair bit of construction ongoing. Room was exceptionally overly hot on an already warm day and due to scaffolding up the outside of the building, the openable windows have been permanently closed with plexi glass. This meant that there was no way to get any fresh air in the room and it became very stuffy. I assume the AC is part of the renovation as this was not operational and the controls had been covered over with a board. There was only 1 of 3 lift working during the visit which meant waiting a long time during busy periods. All the above is a shame as the location is great, the staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel was comfy, clean and had a lot of amenities."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

8/10 Good

"Lovely room and very friendly staff. Bar was completely lacking in atmosphere with the only music from an Alexa on the bar?! Having taken a pre-auth for £0.01 (odd) I then had a demand to visit reception to pay my £111 tab the night before checkout. Not very impressive."
