Top The Caves Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! Easy to walk all around town and up to the castle from this hotel. Room was nice and clean."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice property, well kept and clean. a little stingy on the towels, no face cloths and just 1 hand towel and 2 bath towels for 2 people. i need an extra towel for my hair and a face cloths to wash my face"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Room was clean although housekeeping seemed sporadic and needed little reminder notes to replenish coffee and tea. Unfortunately there was a lot of concrete work being done behind the hotel, providing lots of noise to wake up to."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient and close to everything in the middle of Edinburgh."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

8/10 Good

"Location was great for seeing the city. Ample parking on site."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"The hotel likely was built through several buildings with different floor levels. It was a bit of a labyrinth and challenging to get luggage up and down short stairs and ramps. Overall room was adequate, no windows, cozy, clean and tasteful. Great location."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The lobby was spectacular. Three staff members at the desk ready to check in customers or just ready for any questions/ concerns. They were accommodating from helping us maneuver through the property on the floor zero to get to the nearby station to letting us leaving our luggage at the lobby area on our check our day. Rooms were more than enough for two people. We had a two twin bed and they were put together to make one bed. The desk was a nice perk for the room as there was a mirror that would fold up and down attached to the desk to help get ready to put on makeup or to use if you have to work. Bathroom was spectacular in terms of cleanliness. Sink is a bit small but made it work. The only flaw is the water in the shower may get out because the shower door is completely flushed to the door or shower wall. So be sure to keep a towel on the bathroom floor at the shower entrance so water doesn’t get on there. Other than that it’s a hotel I’ll come to again. AC was available so big plus. The water and milk for coffee being refilled everyday is a big plus too. The bar and restaurant in the lobby area make for good spots to congregate for coworkers, family, friends, or whoever."
