Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room, good breakfast choices and friendly helpful staff!"

Old Waverley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Given how many steps there are almost everywhere in Edinburgh a few steps up to Reception was a breeze. All staff were helpful and friendly- Femi in particular. He was super prompt to resolve an issue we had. It’s a bit like going back in time - especially the beautiful breakfast room and cosy (but spacious) lounge. Our room was huge, simply furnished super size bed . Although hotel is right on Princes street (very convenient for buses and trams) the room was at the back and peaceful."

Heeton Concept Aparthotel Edinburgh Queen Street

10/10 Excellent

"This place was amazing. We had almost a full kitchen and was really surprised about it. Also a washer and dryer. Not that we used all those amenities but was happy we had it. I would definitely recommend this place and would definitely stay here again. The staff was very helpful with any questions we had."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

6/10 Okay

"We stayed four days here. The good: the staff is very friendly, it's very convenient to the train station, the big tour bus stop, the airport bus stop, and both Old Town and New Town. The bad, there is only one working lift and it's very slow. The bed was lumpy, the furniture was worn, the shower door does not seal properly (water runs all over the floor."
