Top Edinburgh Dungeon Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Leonardo was perfect, the staff was so helpful, it's in a great location to get anywhere in the city, and the place felt quite quiet for being so centrally located. So glad we added the breakfast every day, the selection was great and it saved us having to find new places to eat every morning during our week long stay."

Stay Central

10/10 Excellent

"Room was nice. The bar attached was noisy, however, earplugs were provided. Staff were exceptional as was the breakfast. Really good location. If you come by train and have luggage I would recommend taking a taxi. Enjoyed our brief stay."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We love to stay in this hotel when we come to Edinburgh. The rooms are so comfortable and well throught through. We also love having a glass of champagne in the bar whilst watching the sun set over the Edinburgh skyline. Make sure you get full value from your stay with the complimentary mini-bar and in-room coffee maker, etc."

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"M"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Really liked the hotel just wish there would have been more description about the room. The photos show a room with big windows hot to the hotel and it was a small window looking right at a wall. Was so bummed out! Also keep in mind there is no AC so you’ll probably want to open your windows which is fine expect it’s near a pub I heard everything from singing and drunk people up until around 4am very loudly and then people fighting. Other than that great location."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location was excellent. Breakfast was nice. Staff friendly. Would stay there again."

10/10 Excellent

"All was excellent! So clean and charming. Excellent location. Staff is very welcoming, helpful and attentive. Would recommend."
