Top Writers' Museum Hotel Reviews

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."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay and the property worked pretty well. Staff was very friendly."

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."
