Top Gillis Centre Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms, price, and location were all great! Would stay here again if I make it back to Edinburgh."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at a Motel One . Earlier in our trip, we stayed at Motel One Princes Street. This facility was very clean, the staff was helpful and friendly. The availability of breakfast was very convenient and I loved the breakfast. The location was great with easy access to the train station and easy but hilly walking to shops and the Royal Mile. Would stay again."

The Hoxton, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Hotel was easy to find, staff were all exceptional and rooms were clean. Things to be aware of…they have rooms in the main building and rooms in the building across the street. Buildings are secure and safe, however you cannot take drinks across the street so if you want a glass of wine in bed it’s not possible. Also parking is about a10-15min walk from the hotel."
