Top Royal Yacht Britannia Hotel Reviews

3 Johns Place Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Overall decent stay with great location in Leith. Only 1 con, I contacted the team during our stay via WhatsApp on how to troubleshoot the towel warmer rack in the bathroom and did not get a reply."

Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh - Leith Waterfront by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The beds were comfortable, the pillows as well. The down filled comforters could’ve been bigger (twin size) but were sufficient for my needs. The staff were friendly & very helpful in helping schedule transportation for the many tours I had booked (1 per day), the breakfast had a great variety & was plentiful. I will definitely be a returning customer!"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was lovely, the location was excellent. We had a view of the castle out of our window! We used the pool and it was clean and a nice temperature. The only issue we had was the heat. The hotel was incredibly hot, the windows were not easy to open and didnt open more than a couple of cms. I believe this is a wider issue around the UK not just at this hotel but thats why I rated 4/5"
