Top Museum of Childhood Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice enough room although no air conditioning so can get very hot and stuffy especially if you are staying in the summer months, the windows do open but didn’t help much. Hop on hop off bus right outside so very convenient transport"

The Scotsman Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in room 902 and it was a fantastic experience. The room was very clean, quiet, spacious, and even had it's own turret up a small set of stairs with immaculate views. We had breakfast each day with the hotel and the spread is great. The hotel's location is perfect as it's right across the street from Waverly station and there's an elevator from Market Street to get you to the lobby without having to take stairs with all your baggage. We also used the Airlink 100 bus to get to the airport at the end of the trip which was an easy 5 minute walk from the hotel. Couldn't have asked for a better experience with this hotel; I highly recommend."
