20. Destiny Scotland Royal Mile Residence

Old Town Edinburgh, 0.6 km from Melville Monument

"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...

Top Melville Monument Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location location location. This is the best location for old town. You get lovely views of the castle each day and night when you book those rooms. I loved my stay here. Breakfast each morning was the BEST! The staff were very helpful and incredible as well. Loved my stay here. Only downside is the heating in the room is not individually controlled and can run very hot if you aren’t used to sleeping warm. But that is absolutely nothing to worry about because everything else here makes that unimportant."

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."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The Mountain Royal Hotel has an amazing location and was the home base of our travels in the lowlands. Breakfast was very good for a buffet/continental style offering. The only criticism I have would be the ridiculous showers. There was literally no way to shower with our soaking the entire bathroom. Very strange design decision."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Market Street Hotel was a wonderful home base for our stay in Edinburgh. We had a "roomy room," with plenty of space to move around. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and they had thick window shutters to keep it quiet in a busy part of town, which we appreciated. All mini bar offerings were included in our rate. It is conveniently located across the street from Waverly train station. Would highly recommend!"
