However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

Top Leith Docks Hotel Reviews

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Overall great location and services (smooth check-in, dedicated rooms for bag storage), good kettle and offerings, spacious room, comfortable king bed, clean surroundings. The bathroom was newly renovated, but the shower was tricky (the glass divider is a bit too short to shield water from spilling over), and the key panel was old-fashioned and seemed old. The service and location was so excellent that I couldn't dock a star. Note that there are a few steps at the main entrance!"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Concierge was amazing! Definitely the highlight of our stay. The room was comfy and clean. Great location, especially since it’s near the bus stop. Would definitely recommend this place."

"They did not have laundry facilities on location like stated on the website. You can use the laundry cleaning option for a fee, but you cant use washers and dryers on location. I booked this hotel for this. There is a laundromat down the road a tick, however."
