Top Edinburgh Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good
"Scotland is not big on air conditioning and there was a heat wave when we visitied in August. The balcony in our room allowed breezes in to keep the room cool, so I recommend a room with a balcony. The room itself had both a tub and walk in shower and had robes and slippers. Really enjoyed it. Weekends in the Grassmarket are lively if you are into it. The Fringe was going on so it was full all of the time with street performers in the market area and singers or karaoke in the pubs."

"We loved the location on Grassmarket Square with easy walking to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. The desk staff were friendly and helpful. The room was well appointed and the bed and pillows were very comfy. Housekeeping kept everything tidy. Having access to a filtered water machine was greatly appreciated and the in room espresso machine was great. We had a small lounge area outside our room where we could relax and watch the world walk by below."

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

8/10 Good
"Right across from a National Rail station, and the Edinburgh Tram and busses as well, which makes a huge difference for anyone visiting Edinburgh car-free. The 24 hour lobby lounge is a great place to decompress after a busy day out. The breakfast buffet at the pub next door has a full Scottish breakfast (which is like a Full English breakfast, but don’t say that out loud). The hotel was under some minor renovations when I was there, but the room was spacious, with plenty of power plugs (not always a thing in UK hotels) and remarkably quiet at night. The neighbourhood felt safe, clean-enough (for a busy old city full of tourists) and full of options for dining and shopping for daily essentials."

"The first night of our stay was absolutely miserable. When we complained about our horrible room staff immediately turned on us. We spoke with the night manager the next morning and he was the only staff truly sincere about helping us while the other staff continued to be rude. We truly thank him for relaying the problems to the correct people and resolving the situation."
