"We had a wonderful stay! The location is absolutely the best in Edinburgh—right in the heart of everything and incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was fantastic and very responsive throughout our stay. He even graciously allowed us to check in early, which was greatly appreciated. We also accidentally left our AirPods behind, and he went above and beyond by mailing them back to us. We highly recommend this...

Top Edinburgh and Lothian Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most wonderful stay. I purchased the birthday package for my husbands 40th and it was exactly as described. You could beat the views and location of this motel as well."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly helpful staff. Perfect location Food in restaurant outstanding. And the most comfortable beds."

Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club

8/10 Good

"So paid for breakfast both nights but my flight was changed for the second morning so could not get breakfast as too early to check out? The guy behind the desk said no problem and we can’t give you your money back but I will have a packed breakfast made for you both and leave outside your door so you can take with you! Well no breakfast and the guy on the check out desk did not have a clue about it! So 50 pounds for two breakfasts was well worth it NOT Hotel was very nice though"

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"1"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Overall, this was a great property to stay at if you are visiting Edinburgh for the first time. Located within walking distance of public transit and many of the popular sights, making it a convenient choice. Stay didn’t blow me away, but was good enough to meet our needs. Towels and sheets were changed daily, which was nice, but sometimes appears to be dirty (specks of black on towels and sheets). We requested a quieter room, which seemed to help reduce noise."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for sight seeing in Edinburgh"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Everything from the beginning of our stay was amazing. Archie at the front desk is an asset to your company and deserves a large raise. We are from the United States and never felt more welcome from the minute we stepped in this hotel. I'm pretty sure It had to do with Archie at the front desk his personality and love for his job made our stay one of the best. As for a woman at the front desk was not nice to my husband one of the days we were there. We are here in Scotland for another 4 weeks and hope to meet more people like Archie. His knowledge of where to go what to do and what to see was perfect. I must add the room was clean , big & the view was absolutely amazing as we had a room with a balcony. We would like to Thank Archie for an amazing reception. Claudette & John"

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It was not much of a hassle to get into the old town where all the action is as as well as the Airport. Otherwise a pretty normal hotel. Best part, it was half the price as downtown or old city places."

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

8/10 Good

"Over all good except carpet was dirty in the hallway in our room area"
