Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, just a short walk from Waverley Station, the Royal Mile and Princes Street. The room was clean, comfortable and well maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay."

Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood

8/10 Good

"Breakfast good, staff very helpful and professional. One drawback was the room. Only two small drawers for 2 people to put clothes for 5 nights! Had to dress out of cases all week. Room appeared to have a clothes cupboard missing g to put clothes! As a Bon Voyage member have stayed elsewhere and had plenty of clothes space. So dissapointed really."

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is beautiful and is not far to Princess street to walk. The rooms are lovely and clean and I think it's a good idea for the shower unit and toilet to be seperate. The only down is that there is no tea or coffee in your room. You go down to the dining area for free tea or coffee to have a free cup 24 hours a day. To be fair who wants to troop downstairs in the middle of the night for a cuppa if you can,t sleep, I wouldn,t. The breakfast has lots of choices which would keep everyone happy. I would definitely go back there for a longer break. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was mostly clean and well kept, although compact. Tea and instant coffee provided. Room was refreshed every day, fresh towels etc. We were on the 5th floor and had the most beautiful view of the castle and were treated to the sounds and sights of the Military Tattoo by night. Staff were fine, working in Edinburgh in August obviously takes its toll! One mature gentleman, in a blue shirt was hugely friendly and went above and beyond for us during our stay. The pool was compact but okay, nice little sauna too. A good way to unwind after a day exploring the city. We really enjoyed the nearby cafes and bars. So didn’t make use of the restaurant or bar in the hotel. Our stay was very expensive, to be expected in Edinburgh in August."
