Top St James Quarter Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The app check-in and the great staff (Alister & Night Manager, Paul) made it so easy & comfortable to stay at this hotel. Helpful & anticipating everything from getting taxis, reservations, directions, & just all my “long day” travel stuff to my room definitely let me know I was on vacation. The hotel itself is in a great location with shops, restaurants, & Edinburgh Castle just a stone throw away. It was nice to be able to just go outside & enjoy a bit of Edinburgh or within walking distance to the center of the city for more."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Great check in with efficient and friendly staff member. Room was a great size with good teas and coffees and lovely shower products. Walls were a bit thin so could hear next door neighbours but wasn’t too bad. The worst bit was check out - 20 mins to just hand in our keys. The young girl on reception was allowing people to constantly push in the queue - eventually told her that many people were stood in the queue (and in a rush) she apologised and continued to deal with people pushing in (at least 4 times). Totally irritating and seemed to be a lack of training in managing this type of behaviour. Sadly it let the hotel down as made us very late and slightly cross when leaving. Shame because the check in was warm and efficient."

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel muito bom, limpo, quarto grande, cama confortável e reclinável, banheiro com bom tamanho. Oferece café e água gratuito e fica a uns 10 minutos da principal avenida que dá acesso a todos os ônibus e pontos turísticos da cidade. Como não estávamos de carro isso fez toda a diferença. Achei o preço bom em comparação com os demais hotéis que pesquisei. Embora em Edimburgo a hospedagem é bem cara mesmo. Hotel permitiu deixar as malas pra podermos andar pela cidade, pois chegamos antes do horário de checkin. Único ponto que achei ruim nesse hotel é que não tem frigobar, apenas um cooler mas que não foi útil pra nada, pois precisa colocar gelo pra ele manter gelado e acaba molhando tudo. Recomendo com certeza essa hospedagem."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Had a king bed but was 2 singles joined together, unfortunately they were at different heights, pillows were also off a poor standard. Door to room was narrow. However, view was excellent, good selection and choice of breakfast was plenty. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again despite the few niggles as did not affect our stay."

Albany Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. Plenty of shops, pubs and sightseeing things close by.The room was very spacious and clean. Lovely toiletries in the bathroom. Bed was very comfortable. Lots of goodies in the room, tea coffee biscuits and bottled water. They were topped up daily. Staff were very friendly and helpful. You could leave your luggage before booking in. And the day I left, I left my luggage at reception and looked around town and returned in the afternoon to leave Edinburgh. Thankyou for a great stay.Would come back again"
