Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great!"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Good, some lockers werent locking properly, plugs in bunk were limited. Rather have a plug than a charging port that barely charges."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Generally a pleasant hotel, great position for the sites , plenty of restaurants and local buses. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Only a couple of things that could be improved on. One of the lifts was out of order for the whole 5 days we were there so there was a bit of a jam for the other one at times. and also the breakfast was a bit overpriced for the continental option being the same £13.50 as for the cooked. But overall a good mid range hotel option"

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is pretty and they have sauna!"

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel and everything very clean and well maintained. Very comfortable stay. They were able to hold our bags. Would stay here again, do recommend"

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"Nice stay - rooms are small but functional. So if you know you’ll be out and about and not spending much time in your room this works well! Breakfast included was nice but note there’s no “hot breakfast”. Think pastries, fruit, boiled egg, yogurt, etc"

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG
