Top Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre Hotel Reviews

Market Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"The property location is a very short walk from Waverly station and very close walk to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. I loved the room but our view was a brick wall that was very disappointing. However the bed and pillows were the most comfortable of 4 different hotels we stayed at. The room is clean and comfortable and offers various drinks and snacks from the mini bar/fridge at no extra charge. They do have an excellent breakfast for the price and the lounge is located 7 floors up with excellent view of the city. We also enjoyed the welcome champagne upon arrival. The hotel staff were all very pleasant, well mannered. I would recommend this hotel and stay there again."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Virgin Hotel Edinburgh is the place to stay while visiting this city! It's location on Victoria Street is central to everything and in tbe heart of the town. The customer service in the hotel is outstanding, truly white glove. All the staff go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Though we only stayed one night the Apex Waterloo was a delight. We arrived in the early afternoon, way before check-in but we were upgraded to a two story accommodation that was available immediately (for which we were grateful after a long flight)! We were surprised to find air conditioning. Most hotels in Scotland do not have it and the summer days can get quite warm. The hotel location is perfect for sightseeing, shopping, and dining. We enjoyed cocktails in the lounge after our day of sightseeing and breakfast was wonderful. The hotel stored our luggage while we toured the castle and unfortunately, we did not have time to enjoy the pool or spa but we will definitely return! Thank you!"

Cairn Hotel

8/10 Good

"Stayed with wife and 2 children (20 and 23) in the family room in July. This apartment is across the street from the hotel. Pros: the room was huge with a 2 story ceiling, Beds and pillows were good. King bed and a bunk bed. Very clean. On a quiet street one block off a main street. Staff was very nice and helpful. Cons: the bathroom. It was clean and the shower was fine. The sink was tiny, no place to put toiletries, but the worst thing was it had 2 faucets, one hot and one cold, so you had to decide if you were going to have real hot or real cold water when washing. I got adept at swishing my hands from under the cold water to under the hot to make my own lukewarm water. I couldn't figure out how to turn on air conditioner. The location was fine, about a 10-15 minute walk to the train station and Royal Mile. Did not have breakfast here. The neighborhood is very safe. I might go back, but at $500 per night I expected more."
