Top Scotch Whisky Experience Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Excellent staff. Central location. Price of room didn’t match conditions of hotel and accommodations."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

10/10 Excellent

"Great property that is centrally located with a friendly and professional staff. I will definitely stay there again."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Great start to our vacation! Staff was very helpful and hotel was clean!"

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"Location was excellent in Old town, walkable to most of edinburgh. Rooms were very clean, plenty of tea/coffee/biscuits supplied each day which I loved. Plenty of space for luggages and to spread belongings around. Couldn't really hear the main road despite being so close to it and with construction going on right outside the hotel. Overall pleasant stay and would come again."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Centrally located, block away from The Museum of Scotland, block away from Royal Mile. Not far from Waverly Station. No fridge was only complaint. Staff was great, check in/out easy."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Good for the price, although during the Festival it is considerably more expensive than when I tried it out for 1 night about 4 months ago. My only niggle is, could have more room in the shower, or a sliding door so one part of the area can stay dry. You will get your clothes wet from the floor when getting dressed"

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

10/10 Excellent

"We choose Wilde Aparthotels in Grassmarket at the base of Edinburg Castle for a short visit in August, the peak of Festival Season. The location was ideal, virtually all of the city was walkable from the front door. We arrived 3 hours before check-in. The staff was warm and accommodating. They stowed our luggage, then contacted us as soon as our room was ready. We selected the 1 bedroom apartment, with a king bedroom and a pull out couch in the living room. It was absolutely spotless. The three of us were very comfortable. The master mattress was firm, but comfortable. The pull out couch featured two separate single beds, which was very nice (particularly for older siblings who don't want to sleep in the same bed). The room was very well appointed, the kitchen had a toaster & electric kettle, microwave, small hob, pots & pans, and storage, even a dishwasher. There was cream in the refrigerator for tea/coffee & a selection of teas, coffee were provided. There were guest laundry facilities, a fitness center, and a small pantry for snacks & beverages. The bathroom was efficient with a stand up shower (rain head & spray hose), vanity with storage. Plenty of towels. Housekeeping was every 4 days, or could be added for a fee. Staff was available onsite 24-hours. Our room was on the first floor (2nd floor if you're American) facing the castle. If you travel in August, request a higher floor. The only issue was street noise (people, not traffic), late at night after Fringe Fest."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Hotel was conveniently situated on Princes Street and an oasis of calm that n high season August festival time. On the front desk Anson was friendly, helpful, and professional."
