Top Museum of Childhood Hotel Reviews

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff. Excellent rooms. Five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

2/10 Terrible

"The room smelled permanently of dirty drains. The reception staff were excellent and eventually moved us to another room. If you are a coeliac don't even consider staying here. I rang the hotel to check they actually did gluten free food before I made the booking and was told they definitely did. When I went down for the evening meal and asked what gluten free was available I was told a salad because they don't have many coeliacs staying. Enough said. "

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was so kind and greeted us right away assisting with our bags and offering us a beverage upon arrival. We were exhausted after the walk from the train station and they helped us get settled and take our bags so we could settle for a bit and then sight see till our room was ready. Loved our stay and loved the room. "

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and comfortable room with small kitchen and cooking supplies for preparing meals. Conveniently located near to the train station ( EDB ), about 8-9 minutes walk and right on the Royal mile. Groceries, coffee shops and restaurants are readily available nearby. Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again."
