"Edinburgh is very chaotic/touristy on the Royal Mile and this was right in the chaos, however, it felt very safe & the room itself was very spacious, clean & worth the price for it all. I had to contact them once for directions and they answered right away and were super helpful. It sucks there are stairs you have to carry your luggage up and the luggage room was on the first floor, very small/crowded & right next to our apartment room door, but it didn’t seem to get too loud or an issue when...

"Rooms cleaned and breakfast daily"

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

8/10 Good

"This hotel is perfectly placed for those wishing toto take advantage of everything on the Royal Mile. It is ugly outside tho with scaffolding al around. No work is being done however. They could use something more to to on soelevators and the breakfast is expensive. I, however, felt safe and totally happy with my room and the location of the hotel."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very clean and the rooms were exceptional. We didn't need cleaning everyday, but the bed was always made up and we appreciated that after a long day. Breakfast was amazing! I actually enjoyed the buffet more and Debbie loved the eggs benedict!"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay Breakfast was great Friendly staff"

Forth House by Supercity Aparthotels

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for three nights. The room was clean and quiet. We liked the separate livingroom/kitchen area with a door separating it from the bedroom. I have a bad back but the bed was comfortable enough. The bedding was very nice. There is a Tesco grocery store right around the corner. We bought groceries for breakfast and late dinner, but ate one meal a day at restaurants while out. We also packed snacks or bought desserts while out. It was nice having a full kitchen. It saved some money from eating out for every meal. We walked or ubered everywhere. It is a decent location. We would stay here again."
