Top St. Andrew Square Hotel Reviews

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"One of the most beautiful hotels we have experienced with a highly professional staff. We were greeted warmly, our room was upgraded and we were given drink tokens to help celebrate our anniversary. Excellent location. Sadly, we only had one night. Highly recommend."

Old Waverley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location and the layout of the room was exceptionally more than what was expected. Chose the location based on location from the station given times of arrival and departure and this was perfectually situated! In terms of potential things to keep in mind 1) there is an actual physical key, massive and slightly worrying to have to carry around while exploring the city; 2) the staff is incredibly friendly, but not always engaging and some language barriers which were surprising given the location; 3) it is very central which is amazing most of the time, but when warm and a weekend, the noise from the street below was quite interruptive to sleep. Though that same point was surprising when not a weekend, amazingly quiet and comfortable."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Room was great as well as the restaurant but the staff service was lacking. Over 20 minutes wait for drinks that we could see waiting on the counter while staff was talking. In addition, chromecast was not accessible on tv as mentioned on website"
