Top John Knox House Hotel Reviews

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The location of the hotel is perfect for exploring Edinburgh on foot. The room was spacious and clean. The shower was particularly wonderful! There were good restaurants only a very short walk from the hotel. We stayed in a family room as a family of 4 and had a great experience. The staff was friendly and helpful."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

6/10 Okay

"This was a typical hotel type situation. They were nice. Our shower had no rim to hold the water in, so water poured out into the bathroom and we had to use all of our towels to dry it up. Other than that, it was just a place to sleep and hit the road sightseeing. They were helpful when we needed them."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel has an excellent location, just minutes from Waverley Station, which was very convenient as we arrived via train. At the end of our stay, we walked 5 minutes to the Airlink 100 bus stop on Waverley Bridge, so it was close to airport transportation as well. We were minutes from the Royal Mile and close to New Town too. The hot breakfast offerings were great and the breakfast buffet was well stocked with a good variety of fruit, cereal, yogurt, baked goods, meats and cheeses. I especially enjoyed the included champagne at breakfast. We also enjoyed the in-room snacks with Scottish brands, which were also included. The Artist Vista room was small but adequate and had creative space solutions, such as the sliding wood panel that functioned as a curtain. I highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again!"

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good

"Location is great. The tram from the airport stops right in front of the hotel (Picard Place station). It can't get more convenient than that - you just cross the street. There are lots of places to eat and you can walk easily to the old town attractions. The rooms were tight (with the sofa sleeper extended) , felt outdated and damp from the humidity in the air. Staff was nice and the included breakfast was good."
