Top Royal Scottish Academy Art Gallery Hotel Reviews

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was very speedy. Room was nice with small kitchenette with dishes. Studio room bed is either a Murphy bed or pull out couch so bed was average. Pillows were nice. Rooms fairly sound proof. Location of this hotel is top notch and would stay again based solely on that."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect spot to enjoy all Edinburgh has to offer."

InterContinental Edinburgh The George by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, lovely staff, super comfortable bed!"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Very nice hostel. Location is superb. It was quiet at night. Stay was very lovely and helpful. Nice bar and dining area. Rooms were clean. Good lockers for belongings and comfortable bed. My only downside was that the tube style of the bed allows for no air flow at all. It was hot during the night. They did offer me a little fan but for whatever reason it did not help. The air is just stale so I got very stuffy the first few days. Otherwise fantastic hostel, the vibes are great, bathrooms are nice and clean. Would stay again."
