Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was ready for check in very early on our arrival which was such a plus after traveling from the states on an overnight flight. The person who checked us in was very helpful and recommended wonderful local restaurants to patronize which turned out to be as good as recommended. The concierge was very helpful in getting us a can immediately for a rental car pickup after we had trouble connecting with our Uber driver. Wonderful stay. Fabulous location."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Castle grounds and Castle are absolutely beautiful, rooms and bathrooms spacious and clean. But the staff went above and beyond to provide services. They were amazing! Highly recommend!!"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Solo traveller and 1st time to Edinburgh. Located right on the royal mile and within walking distance to historical sites, restaurants, and to top it off even with Fringe Fest happening, CODE made sure that their guest were well taken care of. The Pend which is the communal space and social theater room, were amazing. The inside bar was a great plus. I especially loved how CODE had luggage storage for early arrivals and late departures. Would stay again and highly recommended to anyone."

YOTEL Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"No tea/coffee in room. No breakfast included in the price. Was minimalistic for the extortionate price paid. Desk had cracks all over it."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a lovely stay at The Apex, Waterloo Place. Our room and bathroom were fabulous, though we did report the light not working on the way in that wasn’t rectified during our stay. The breakfast was exceptional and staff so helpful. We had a fab time visiting the spa. Location is fantastic for locality to the town centre. We would definitely add this great hotel for any future stays."

Holyrood Aparthotel

8/10 Good

"Welcoming friendly staff. Spacious clean apartment. Sterile decor. Poor wifi. Generous breakfast ingredients available in the apartment. Very small kitchen garbage receptacle that was always overflowing. Given other choises, would not book again as definitely not worth $750/night."
