YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, close to Waverley Station."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"Nice stay - rooms are small but functional. So if you know you’ll be out and about and not spending much time in your room this works well! Breakfast included was nice but note there’s no “hot breakfast”. Think pastries, fruit, boiled egg, yogurt, etc"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"Right on Grassmarket is centrally located. Area wasn’t noisy which I didn’t expect. Room was clean, well appointed and kept up. Staff very helpful. Only complaint is that television selection wasn’t great. Not bad but not great."

W Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente hotel muy bien ubicado. Lo recomiendo"

Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"This hotel is a solid choice. It has a relatively good location and was very comfortable. We did have some malfunctions with the lock on our room and had to change our keys. The grout on the tile in the shower was dirty, but not so dirty that you did not want to use the shower. I don’t think these issues are indicative of the hotel as a whole."

The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience, the hotel is in a perfect to visit the Castle and surrounding areas"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh
