Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great loca"

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

10/10 Excellent

"We choose Wilde Aparthotels in Grassmarket at the base of Edinburg Castle for a short visit in August, the peak of Festival Season. The location was ideal, virtually all of the city was walkable from the front door. We arrived 3 hours before check-in. The staff was warm and accommodating. They stowed our luggage, then contacted us as soon as our room was ready. We selected the 1 bedroom apartment, with a king bedroom and a pull out couch in the living room. It was absolutely spotless. The three of us were very comfortable. The master mattress was firm, but comfortable. The pull out couch featured two separate single beds, which was very nice (particularly for older siblings who don't want to sleep in the same bed). The room was very well appointed, the kitchen had a toaster & electric kettle, microwave, small hob, pots & pans, and storage, even a dishwasher. There was cream in the refrigerator for tea/coffee & a selection of teas, coffee were provided. There were guest laundry facilities, a fitness center, and a small pantry for snacks & beverages. The bathroom was efficient with a stand up shower (rain head & spray hose), vanity with storage. Plenty of towels. Housekeeping was every 4 days, or could be added for a fee. Staff was available onsite 24-hours. Our room was on the first floor (2nd floor if you're American) facing the castle. If you travel in August, request a higher floor. The only issue was street noise (people, not traffic), late at night after Fringe Fest."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"Perfect location for Castle, with steep steps or steep uphill walk to get to it. Car park big advantage but get there early as got full by 3pm on day I went. You can use the other Apex hotel car park a very short distance down on the street. Very helpful and friendly staff on reception and at breakfast. Twin room a good size but not massive, bathroom has separate shower and bath which is so much better than shower in bath. All cleaned to high standard. Usual kettle tea and coffee with milk in fridge Breakfast discount available on the day and 2 free drinks vouchers given which was appreciated. One of the best buffet breakfasts I have had and could order from a breakfast menu as well so you should never go hungry. Excellent value for money in a busy city hotel"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Hotel was conveniently situated on Princes Street and an oasis of calm that n high season August festival time. On the front desk Anson was friendly, helpful, and professional."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"El staff fue muy receptivo y amable, a pesar que llegamos muy tarde en la noche y estaban cerrando el bar, nos atendieron con mucha amabilidad y nos trajeron algo para comer. Estamos agradecidas por eso. Tambien la persona que nos recibió fue muy eficiente y hablaba español, con lo cual fue más fácil entendernos."

"Staffs are nice"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel in a great location. The breakfast buffet is not included in the price unless you specifically arrange it. This was unclear as the buffet is in a public space with no signage or staff person standing guard. As one of many hotels I booked for this trip, I was unclear if breakfast was included or there was an extra charge, and whether I had paid it if so. Someone will come over after you’ve sat down to ask your room number, but it would be better to have clear signage or someone checking as you walk in to avoid awkwardness. Additionally, it would have been great if the person checking us in had confirmed our breakfast payment or lack thereof."
