Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location of this property is excellent, and the front desk staff are very helpful & friendly. Rooms are small but clean, and also quiet. One negative is no USB ports to charge cell phones."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel room was very nice, comfortable, all amenities needed. They quickly responded try my emails prior to our stay. Breakfast was fine but would have been nice to offer at least one different option per day- every day was exactly the same. Hotel restaurant- took us an hour to get 2 sandwiches. Waitress very nice but seems the cook staff didn’t have some of the ingredients. Great hotel location and convenient to all sites. "

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

2/10 Terrible

"Hi! I came too early for check inreturned after sightseeing and was sent to a room twist and turns which took a long time to go on the 7 th floor ! I had to take like 10 minutes just to wait for elevator and go to the room The bathroom was like it was ready to crumble flimsy attachment very noisy and unstable walk! The shower hose fell many times loudly as I slept ! The bed had a piece under sheet ridiculous mattress protector which felt like anincontinent pad for the handicapped or a nursing home patient! The toilet makes a lot of noise and air conditioning too! Very uncomfortable ! As I return at night the male staff look like I am trespassing! I got to show the key! They did not greet me cheerily and say how can I help you? The food in the breakfast I was not keen on ! I barely filled my stomach! I had to go out searching to get a better breakfast after I paid for the hotel breakfastI will not stay with this company hotel again and pictures was misleading on the website! "
