10/10 Excellent

"Great for the location and value. We didn’t do the breakfast option and that seems to be the right choice!"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

"Muy buena ubicación. Conceniente patw ir a todos lados caminando. Lo único es que no nos rellenaron el jabón líquido para bañarnos y el teléfono del cuarto no funcionaba. Pero lo demás todo excelente"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

"Great central location. Friendly and helpful staff."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Located across the street from the train station and a block away from the Royal Mile"

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"This was an excellent, modern apartment hotel with an absolutely fantastic location. We really appreciated the kitchenette after traveling for a few weeks - it was so nice to be able to stock up on breakfast and snacks to have around. Beds were comfy, shower a good size, and our room was very quiet so we got a great rest. It was close to the bus line and simple to walk where we needed to go. If you want to be in the action without having to listen to the action, it is a perfect retreat."

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good

"They did not have laundry facilities on location like stated on the website. You can use the laundry cleaning option for a fee, but you cant use washers and dryers on location. I booked this hotel for this. There is a laundromat down the road a tick, however."
