Top Heriot-Watt University Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall I cannot fault this place. The reason I have given only 4 stars and not 5 is for the fact the bar after 11pm will not accept card or cash payments for alcohol. All drinks to be added to your room. Plus levels of staff were low especially with the number's in the bar after a gig. Dont get me wrong, the staff who were working were great. Just needed more."

DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Another outstanding stay at a Double Tree Hilton they never disappoint, perfect location wonderful and clean and the staff went above and beyond"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Likes: Location Castle views Dislikes: Bed was very hard Feathers... duvet, pillows... Multiple times asking for extra towels only for housekeeping to take them and not replace them. The heat! I understand that old buildings don't have AC but a screen in the door or something could help."

Riccarton Inn

8/10 Good

"Didn’t expect or need the “accessible room” but the shower chair helped when I was shaving my legs. Comfy bed but pillows a bit firm for my liking - no selection all 4 the same. Cosy room & coffee/kettle very useful along with single sachet 2 biscuits for a pre bed cuppa. Lovely friendly staff & able to check-out using lock box to return keys. Only thing I’d mention is with it being an accessible room ud think the door could open sufficiently for a wheelchair or someone using crutches (physio head here doing critical review) but otherwise totally pleasant and suitable for my location needs. Will likely stay again."
