Top Edinburgh Zoo Hotel Reviews

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"A very tidy hotel. Staff were well aware of what was going on and traveller requirements. Room was comfortable and "cosy" as described. One point of note was the unusual paint smell, which we advised staff of. Not sure there was anything they could do to improve, but made them aware. All in all, a very well located hotel, just 10 minutes from the railway station and 10 minutes from the city centre ( walking too!) Thank you"

Britannia Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very nice. Enjoyed the deep bathtub with a relaxing bath after a cold day of walking around Edinburgh Castle. The staff was especially wonderful, helping us with questions about the heater and tub faucets. I didn't get her name, but I believe she was the manager or someone in charge, very accommodating and friendly and to Katie at the front desk who was very helpful and always pleasant and friendly."

"Had a lovely stay with very helpful staff."

The Hoxton, Edinburgh

Murrayfield Park Guest House

8/10 Good

"Clean room. Parking for 2 cars only. No on sight staff. Comfortable bed. Great if your not looking to be hosted. Entrance could do with a good tidy up and a clean, doesn't give the best impression when you go in. But the room itself was clean and Comfortable. I would stay here again and would recommend 👌"
