Top National War Museum Hotel Reviews

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly, location was perfect and the facility was clean"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Edinburgh. The rooms are beautifully appointed, well-supplied."

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

8/10 Good

"Room wasn't available at check-in despite it being past check in time. Had a wait a bit and then the towels that were in the room were already dirty. Otherwise it was a great location, friendly staff and a fairly big room."

YOTEL Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"A clean and modern hotel within easy reach of Princes Street and many restaurants. Some of the staff were friendly and kind, others appeared disinterested. Having more staff available at reception would improve the experience and reduce queues. The room was spacious and well equipped. Bed was large and comfortable - great nights sleep. Breakfast was ok- hot and cold options available but again could have benefited from more staff to help replenish food and drinks. Overall, it was a comfortable stay."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and great location- clean"

The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
