Top Vennel Steps Hotel Reviews

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

8/10 Good

"Not worth the price."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is amazing - friendly and helpful. The location is superb - 10 minutes to Waverly Station, minutes from the Royal Mile, convenient to restaurants and Sainsbury market. Great value!"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff here are very kind and helpful. The room although small was everything we needed and the bed was comfortable. Our room was at the back of the hotel so it was also nice and quiet. It was very close to great restaurants and bars and within easy walking distance to all Edinburgh hot spots. Perfect location if you’re staying in Edinburgh."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel, but the facilities need upgrading. The showers were slippery and dangerous. The room was so hot at night despite temperatures being cold for the season of travel. But the hotel was located in a great spot so I can't complain too much since I only needed it for a place to lay my head. If I was there for the hotel specifically, I might look elsewhere. Would stay again for location alone."

Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet hotel. Sweet dreams. Rooms very clean."

Stay Central
