The location was the best attribute of this property. It is close to everything."

Top Heriot-Watt University Hotel Reviews

Corstorphine Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Nice area and friendly staff. Room was very hot however we were able to open the window and get a little fresh air."

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed here a few times would not stay anywhere else, lovely hotel, lovely staff, very clean. Bus stop outside front of hotel and taxis so handy and love to listen to the gibbon’s wake up at the zoo in the morning"

Moxy Edinburgh Airport

8/10 Good

"Really the o my reason I am not giving it five star was the moldy grout n the shower. Everything else was pretty good. Kind of a fun and funky vibe to it. Staff were very helpful when I asked to check in hours early. Bed and pillows very comfortable. They control the heat and the room was quite warm. They recommended turning off the heat entirely and opening a window which I did and was quite comfortable. Well lit…. And surprisingly quiet for an airport location. If you don’t mind a little mold I can highly recommend."

Novotel Edinburgh Park

10/10 Excellent

"Modern, comfortable, clean and well placed for the airport. Reasonably priced also"

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."

The Bridge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We needed a place close to the airport that was good. This worked very well as it has an excellent restaurant and only 15mins away from airport. No elevator but rooms are nice and not your standard hotel room."
