This isn't a luxury hotel so I didn't go in with high expectations but the room was clean and great value, the amenities were terrific at that price point, and the staff were super helpful and friendly.

Hampton by Hilton Edinburgh West End
Rooms where fanstastic, very clean and tidy, the only thing for me was the pillows, but that's personal preference. The hotel was just a short walk away from the town centre, which was great.

Staycity Aparthotels, Edinburgh, West End
The apartment was in a great location in a safe neighbourhood, about 15 mins walk to the castle. Staff were very lovely and accomodating. The hotel could have supplied washing tablets but other than that we very much enjoyed our stay.
