Top National Library of Scotland Hotel Reviews

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, great staff"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect. Right in the middle of Old Town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return without reservation."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"This is a nice hotel and the staff was professional and helpful. The rooms are very small but quiet. It is a good stay unless you need to park a car. There is no visible street parking due to its location and the closest car park was 35 Euros for overnight parking."

The Scott

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was always helpful and pleasant The food was spectacular!"

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Very Cute and well maintained hotel"

The Scholar

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful grounds around the hotel. We enjoyed our stay. Staff were super friendly and helpful."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Castle view on the 5th floor. Right in the center of everything. We went for the Tatto & had a repeat each night going to sleep hearing bagpipes. Breakfast was great value for the price. Alot of food and convenient to have at hotel. Staff very friendly & helpful"

Edinburgh Travel Guest House

8/10 Good

"It would have been nice if the were face cloths included with the towels. Location was good, and close to a bus stop."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this hotel because we were treated so kindly throughout our entire stay. The staff answered all the questions we had, and no request was too big. We were even allowed to check into our room in the morning when we arrived completely exhausted from a red eye flight. This was hugely appreciated. The hotel is in an old building. Edinburgh is OLD! They have kept it up though and we had a clean modern bathroom with both walk in shower and soaker tub. Nice bath products. We had a mini fridge in our room, and the bath towels and bed linens were lovely. Side tables for the bed and reading lights. The only tiny thing that could be done is to replace the carpet. Ours had stains on it. It wasn’t a huge room but big enough for us and our luggage. We had a quiet room not facing the view of the castle, which we preferred as we kept our windows open. The breakfast was incredible. We could choose from a hot and cold buffet, and we could order a main breakfast item from the menu. There was a coffee machine so we could have cappuccino (and I could get decaf) every morning. Such a treat for us as we never go out for coffee. I would highly recommend staying here. It is also perfectly located to walk the entirety of Old Town and New Town and everything in between. Stay here and you don't need transport (unless you don't like to walk). PS their staff could give a course in hotel hospitality!!!"
