"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes.

Top Canongate Tolbooth Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"#1 top of the line hotel in every area: hospitality, staff, facility, free excellent breakfasts, central location to Old Town and New Town Edinburgh."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Really great experience. Excellent location."

Holyrood Aparthotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location. We could walk to everything. Clean, quiet, and comfortable."

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Great time at Yotel, staff was friendly and room was big. Air Conditioning was iffy if it worked or not"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"We stayed in Edinburgh for 3 nights and the Mount Royal was great. The room was nice, bathroom was a little small but manageable (shower is not fully enclosed so water will go out onto the floor). It was nice to have the bar and restaurant on site. The service at the reception desk and the bar were great. The location is nice and central to old and new town, Dean Village is even only a 20min walk away."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"My fiancé and I stayed here for the week leading up to our wedding, and we absolutely loved it. The biggest selling point of this hotel is its location. Being able to walk straight out onto Cockburn Street was incredibly convenient, and we were within walking distance of so many shops, restaurants, pubs, and bars. It made exploring Edinburgh's Old Town effortless, and we rarely needed to worry about transportation. We didn't travel by car, but I could see parking potentially being an issue for those who do. However, the hotel is directly across from Waverley Station, which made getting around by train incredibly easy and convenient. The room itself was clean and comfortable, with a standard amount of space comparable to what you'd expect from a hotel room in Canada. We had quite a bit of luggage with us for the week, but there was still room for the two of us to settle in comfortably. One particularly great perk was the luggage storage. We arrived in the city around 10 a.m., and the hotel had a large, secure, locked luggage storage room where we could leave our bags until our room was ready. This allowed us to head out and enjoy the day without worrying about our luggage. Overall, we had a fantastic stay. While the rooms are fairly standard, the location is what truly sets this hotel apart. If you want to stay right in the heart of Edinburgh and have the city's sights, shops, and nightlife right at your doorstep, this is an excellent choice!"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel within an easy walking distance to Edinburgh Waverly Train Station and High Street. Room was comfortable and included free mini-bar snack and beverage items."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"staff was helpful and clean room."

BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great to deal with. A unique, fun place to stay. Restaurant was really good and the beer was excellent. Location was perfect, a nice quiet area."
