Top Royal Scottish Academy Art Gallery Hotel Reviews

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location. The breakfast was delicious"

The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The Caledonian is an absolutely fantastic place to stay! Centrally located near the castle and the Royal Mile. It is a great place to lay your head at night, wake up in the morning, enjoy a nice Scottish breakfast, then get out and explore the city of Edinburgh. Joseph at the front desk, did an outstanding job and made sure that my stay was worry free! The entire Bell Staff was fantastic and they have a wit and sense of humor that is unparalleled! I highly recommend the Caledonian to all when traveling to Edinburgh!"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice clean hotel that is central to everything. Nice spacious rooms with excellent AC. Close to lots of pubs and steps from Victoria street. While the street was hustle and bustle outside it was quite inside the room. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot in Edinburgh. Would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend to others. If traveling by trains…we did walk here from the train station (and it’s very doable), but heads up, it’s a lot of steps and hills!"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really loved this hotel due to its proximity to all the main areas and the views to the castle were incredible. Try to get a 4th or 5th floor room and an odd number for the best views of Edinburgh Castle. Restaurants were on the street below and plenty of choices. Keep in mind there is no a/c but that’s common. Staff was excellent and room was cleaned each day. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Really wonderful stay in an 8 bed female dorm at The Code. Room was clean, lockers for belongings are large and easy to access. Common area bathrooms were very clean and never crowded. The cafe is great and you can't beat the location to everything in city center. Highly recommend and will likely stay here again."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"The location is perfect! Everything is 5 mins walking!!! We got a nice room with two double beds and nice view. A special thanks to Edwin!!! He was the star of the show!! My brother is in wheelchair and he assisted us in a very friendly way in everything!! Made our stay memorable!!! Thank you ;) we will definitely recommend this hotel"
