"The property worked for our family of 5 stay; however, property does not have AC which would be important in the summer. Additionally, sleeping 5 meant sharing spaces as there is only a large great room / kitchen and the master bedroom with master bath. If you need a laundry you’ll have to reserve somewhere else. The location was the best attribute of this property. It is close to everything."

Top Heriot-Watt University Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Helpful front desk but our room wasn't made up for the 4 of us. Had to ask to get the sofa made up into a bed and lacking cups and tea/coffee etc for 2 people never mind 4. Also no robes or slippers as advertised for our room and only 2 towels. Front desk staff were very apologetic and personally brought us some. Bar was good, breakfast was nice and handy for the airport."

Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay. The property is a little bit dated, but it has a quaint charm about it. The only biggest downside was how thin the walls are. We could clearly hear the neighbors on both sides of our room - conversations, kids yelling, and even sneezing. Just a heads up for light sleepers, definitely bring ear plugs. It's a little bit away from the city, but there is a bus stop conveniently at the end of the hotel driveway which we utilized a lot. It was about a 30 minute ride. Very close to the airport though, only about a 15 minute Uber ride, which we had no issues booking."

ibis budget Edinburgh Park

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and compact place to stay."

Moxy Edinburgh Airport

8/10 Good

"Expensive for what it is. Bathroom very small and there was some staining in the sink. Bed comfy and staff very friendly"

Novotel Edinburgh Park

"Close to tram station!"

Premier Inn Edinburgh Park - Airport

8/10 Good

"Quiet location. WiFi was very slow unless you pay another six pounds for premium"

Corstorphine Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were so helpful! The hotel is in a good position for connections all over the city."

Spylaw Bank House

10/10 Excellent

"The owner was very eager to help us with our visit and mapped out where to go in Edinburgh and where to catch the bus to get to the heart of the city. The bus, just a minute walk down the street, was the perfect way to travel to the city. He made breakfast for us early when we had to leave early for the airport."
