"Edinburgh is very chaotic/touristy on the Royal Mile and this was right in the chaos, however, it felt very safe & the room itself was very spacious, clean & worth the price for it all. I had to contact them once for directions and they answered right away and were super helpful. It sucks there are stairs you have to carry your luggage up and the luggage room was on the first floor, very small/crowded & right next to our apartment room door, but it didn’t seem to get too loud or an issue when...

Top Waterloo Place Hotel Reviews

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was quiet, clean, and had lovely shampoo, conditioner, bath & body wash, and skin cream in the room. It was convenient to walk to Waverley station, the tram and bus stops, New Town, and Old Town. The staff was so helpful and kind to keep our luggage before check in and following check out. I would stay here again."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"It required a lot of steps to access the front desk and the breakfast area. While the outside ramp was useful for the front desk, it was no help with the breakfast area. (My wife has a bad hip and needs a cane.) The location was excellent and Grassmarket Park was lovely."

Stay Central

10/10 Excellent

"Very well located. Friendly staff made for a lovely stay"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel. The location was perfect. The staff members were all friendly and helpful. The room was clean and well appointed."

Forth House by Supercity Aparthotels

8/10 Good

"Location was great to see all the attractions in Edinburgh on a very quiet street. The kitchen and washing machine were very convenient. The only negative was the springs in the mattress could be felt. The hotel was able to switch/ flip the mattress."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time in Edinburgh and our first European trip. The hotel is wonderful! Everyone was very pleasant upon our arrival. The cozy room was in fact cozy. The room was well stocked with everything you would need. Hairdryer with attachments, clothing steamer Nespresso machine tea kettle. The air conditioning worked great. The room was quiet and dark at night. The bed was very comfortable. If coming from the United States remember that in Europe hotel rooms are not as large as we are used to. This is the perfect size. You’re in the middle of it all. Everything is within walking distance. The tram stop is right up the road on Princes street. Maybe a 8 minute walk. Waverly station is across the street. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Edinburgh."

The Scotsman Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was very clean and nice. The staff was friendly. The main restaurant and bar is beautiful but we were very disappointed that it was closed for a private event one of the nights that we stayed there. They had a small bar open for us but it just was not the same. The person attending the bar was not a bartender and had to seek advice at the main bar for assistance. The prices of drinks should reflect the lower quality of ambiance. We would expect coffee and tea to be available complimentary at the cost we were paying for the rooms but you had to buy it at the bar. All in all, for the most part, we really liked this hotel. We just thought it was overpriced for what you got."

W Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"W Edinburgh is a fantastic hotel and one of the best places to stay if you want to be right in the heart of the city. The location is hard to beat—very central, within easy walking distance of Edinburgh’s major sights, restaurants, and some of the best luxury shopping in the city. Two thumbs up! The staff were excellent throughout my stay, friendly, professional, and very helpful. My room was modern, stylish, extremely clean, and very comfortable. One of the highlights was the sushi restaurant on the top floor. The food was excellent, and the views over Edinburgh made the experience even better. The rooftop areas are definitely worth visiting, even if you’re just going up for a drink and to enjoy the scenery. Super nice up there... Overall, I had a great stay at W Edinburgh. If you want a modern luxury hotel with excellent service, great dining, incredible views, and possibly the best central location in Edinburgh, this is a great choice. I would definitely stay here again. Nice gym too..."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for exploring old and “new” Edinburgh!! Right on the Royal Mile and less than 15 minutes to any and all the sites—- great pub restaurants immediately nearby at reasonable prices- really recommended!!"
