Top Dragonfly Hotel Reviews

PREMIER SUITES Edinburgh Fountain Court

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, comfortable flat for an extended stay. Very helpful front desk staff. Good location for visiting Edinburgh. The property is in a quiet neighborhood but easy walk to restaurants and nearby Tesco market. 5 minute walk to buses and train station, and many popular areas are within a mile so walking is often an option. Would stay here again."

"The location is fantastic, everything was walkable. We had great views of Edinburgh Castle. Lots of places to eat around the area. The room had two queen size beds for four adults.

"My plug converter wasn’t calibrated to 110 so it burned my hair off. Only plug that worked for your hair blow dryer was in the room by TV not in bathroom. And cord didn’t reach far enough to see in the mirror to use it. Breakfast selection was really good. Staff very helpful and accommodating. Room clean and comfortable. Maid service great."
