Top Heriot-Watt University Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh West

8/10 Good

"We were at the courtyard by Marriot West end Edinburgh for 2 nights and we cannot fault anything. The staff were really helpful and pleasant to deal with. The hotel was spotless throughout and nothing was a problem whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this hotel"

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

8/10 Good

"Good staff"

Premier Inn Edinburgh Park - Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great location if you have a car and want to see center city Edinburgh. Tram which runs every 7 minutes stops right outside the hotel. And the parking was reasonable and convenient."

Novotel Edinburgh Park

10/10 Excellent

"Modern, typical Novotel. Comfortable bed, decent shower, friendly reception. We didn't eat there, so cannot comment. We were there for a long weekend in Edinburgh. The tram stop is less than a five minute walk and takes around 20 minutes into the town centre, Our Dalmatian was very happy with the hotel, too - there's plenty of green space around to do a wee."

DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We usually stayed at another property across the street, but no more. Great hotel, great staff… airport shuttle, food, bar… all around great property."

Hampton by Hilton Edinburgh Airport

8/10 Good

"Walkable to terminal which is the main draw, my room was in need of maintenance, water temps in bathroom are only warm so no hot showers, also thermostat was locked down so I could not make the room warm."

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."
