Top Museum of Edinburgh Hotel Reviews

Holyrood Aparthotel

8/10 Good

"Welcoming friendly staff. Spacious clean apartment. Sterile decor. Poor wifi. Generous breakfast ingredients available in the apartment. Very small kitchen garbage receptacle that was always overflowing. Given other choises, would not book again as definitely not worth $750/night."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"We booked this hotel as it was reasonably priced, central and dog friendly. It was £10 extra for dog, although they have recently increased to £15. Staff were great - doted on the dog, gave him treats, dropped off a bed and dog bowl on our room. Room was simple and clean - kettle and hairdryer included. There was an ironing room down the hall. We never visited the bar and restaurant bit the pictures looked nice! Would recommend if looking for somewhere mid range in the city centre."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location during the Fringe! Very cleaning and incredible buffet breakfast! Would stay here again!"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Really wonderful location and the staff were great. The room was super comfortable and the bed and pillow and shower were all great. However the room was smaller than expected and a bit dark and dingy. However it had everything we needed and as it was so comfy highly likely to stay again .."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Conveniently located in the Grassmarket area of Edinburg with great access to the Royal Mile. Room was clean, staff were helpful and breakfast was tasty!"

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were really helpful. Would definitely come again"

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Very central, within walking distance of many Fringe venues. Very quiet despite the location."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely well done room, I should have stayed here on the first leg of my Edinburgh trip as well. I will most certainly come back"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Location is terrific, easy walk to many places in Edinburgh. Whether you enter hotel from the corner or the side you are hit with stairs - early 70's and this would be a deterrent from booking again. We tried for early check in (both by written request the prior week and at 9:30 am the morning of check in) and did not get in until the 3 pm check in time despite sitting in lobby for 2 hours and watching 30-40 people check in early. Additionally, we paid an upcharge for a "view" - we could see some patches of green through small openings in trees, and then we could see a building full of scaffolding through the treetops, across the railyard. Guess I needed a definition of what constitutes a "view". Left our stay feeling ripped off."
