"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes. We did have a mix-up with our booking, as the room was reserved for three people but didn’t have a sleeping option for the third guest. However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

Top City Art Centre Hotel Reviews

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"staff was helpful and clean room."

Britannia Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"clean room , staff were cool."

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Small rooms, but clean. Hotel let us leave our bags since it was too early to check-in. Nice to have access to tea and coffee 24/7"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The property was beautiful. The rooms are very comfortable. The staff, especially the front desk and Bell Attendants were exceptional."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Great location, 3 blocks from train and very close to the royal mile. They had a very good breakfast and elevator for luggage. We had our shower chord become detached last morning but they gave us free breakfast due to that. A little loud if you leave the window open as the rooms get hot. There was a homeless couple arguing at 6am in the alley so that was a bit annoying but part of being close."

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good

"Carpet in our room has seen better days, but the staff was excellent."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel so much!! Everyone was so incredibly kind and the room and bathroom were so nice! Location was absolutely perfect. Very central and you can literally see the castle from out front!"

Market Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything about the hotel is excellent. Room, location, cleanliness. We just had a really rough check in. We had asked for an early check in months prior, and were told they would do everything to accommodate us. We arrived at 8:00am and weren’t given our room until 2:30. Checkout isn’t until 11, so expected 12 the latest. We were not given a time window and basically ignored in the beautiful lobby."

Old Waverley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent option without expending a lot of money. Very close to the main attractions and activities. Strategically located in front of Waverley station."
