Top Royal Yacht Britannia Hotel Reviews

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was nice."

Malmaison Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Great location in Edinburgh, and really friendly staff"

YOTEL Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"No tea/coffee in room. No breakfast included in the price. Was minimalistic for the extortionate price paid. Desk had cracks all over it."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a lovely stay at The Apex, Waterloo Place. Our room and bathroom were fabulous, though we did report the light not working on the way in that wasn’t rectified during our stay. The breakfast was exceptional and staff so helpful. We had a fab time visiting the spa. Location is fantastic for locality to the town centre. We would definitely add this great hotel for any future stays."

Ocean Mist Leith

10/10 Excellent

"Delicious continental breakfast Good size room with lovely bathrobes and shower facilities Friendly welcoming staff Unique stay on boat"

Pillars House

8/10 Good

"It was a little hard to get to compared to other places we stayed, but otherwise our experience was very positive"

Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This ship/hotel was a unique luxury five star experience and the perfect respite from the business of Edinburgh during the Fringe festival. The decor and design were elegant, the service impeccable, and the food at the Lighthouse was phenomenal. Our room was spacious, our shower luxurious, and the towels and bathrobes were generously sized. Extra special touches like chilled water carafes and fresh raspberry macarons left by staff during turn down service for were appreciated. One of the best hotel experiences I've ever had."

Ocean Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"While the location of these apartments are far from the city center, they were very spacious and allowed us to stretch out for a couple nights. The views are fantastic along the sea and a cool breeze allowed us to sleep with the windows open throughout the night each day. A bottle of complimentary wine was much appreciated as was a well stocked set of kitchen utensils. The negatives we experienced were sticky floors in the main living area and the combination washer/dryer unit that would not dry. This caused us to have to stay up very late on our last night trying to dry our clothes before we could pack up and leave for the rest of our vacation."

Roomy home 1 level Free Parking

10/10 Excellent

"The place was just what we needed for the 5 of us. Nice accommodations close to lots of things."
