Top Edinburgh Fringe Festival Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"A great hotel in the best location for everything Edinburgh including the station (2-3 minute walk). The rooms were clean, staff were helpful and friendly and the hotel is in good condition. The only issue we had was, when ordering a latte from the bar, the coffee was cold. I let the bar-people know so that they can avert in the future. Other than that, I would highly recommend this hotel to all."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for 2 nights and can say with complete honesty it lives up to the usual high standards associated with the Hilton brand. We ordered room service on night one which arrived in very quick time and tasted delicious everything we ordered was fresh and great quality. The beds at the Hilton are always a highlight for me with quality linens and amazingly comfortable pillows you’ll be sure to get a solid nights sleep after long hours exploring Edinburgh. Our room was ready for when we arrived at 10:30 and the staff at the desk were extremely helpful. My only foible with the room was that upon looking under our bed there was a small amount of litter from previous guests, maybe a one off due to the small amount however maybe something for the hotel to address. To conclude regardless of the small amount of litter found under the bed I would say this hotel deserves 5 stars for everything, I would highly recommend staying here and should I ever return to Edinburgh I would love to stay again."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay. Great location close to public transport and a good mix of restaurants. We loved the hotel breakfast but would’ve preferred if they started serving at 6 AM instead of 7 AM just to make it easier to connect with morning tour groups."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"The very early check-in (thank you, Rasa) more than made up for a few small inconveniences. Ideal location on the Royal Mile and delivered everything you would expect from an Aparthotel. Wifi on the 3 third floor was dodgy a lot of the time. The TV remote batteries were dead, and the heated towel rack never worked. As said previously, all minor inconveniences during the stay."
