Top Scotch Whisky Experience Hotel Reviews

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I love the location of this hotel for easy access from public transport as well as walkability to cafes, pubs, and Old Town. The rooms are perfect sized."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Very centrally located. Right in the middle of it all. Longest walk was to Holyrood, 18 mins. Edinburgh castle was 12 mins. Right across from the Scott Monument. Waverly Starion is a 2 mins walk and you can get anywhere from there. Hotel was quiet, restaurant was good. Friendly staff. If you love tea, they have a tea menu at the restaurant. Recommend trying just for the experience."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"The first thing you should know is there are 2 Ibis hotels one street away from each other. That caused me confusion throughout my trip when calling Ubers or taxis. The location is excellent, within walking distance to many attractions, restaurants and shops in the old part of the city. It is within walking distance from the train station however if it's raining or you have a lot of luggage, it is a tough walk. I would recommend an Uber or taxi. The front desk staff is on duty 24 hours a day and they were helpful in getting an early check in and calling taxis for me. The lobby is very small but functional. I had a twin room as I was traveling with a friend. The room is small and the bathroom is the size of a phone booth, but there were areas for storage and a full length mirror in the room. The room had a hair dryer but no electrical outlet that I could see in the bathroom. But their was an outlet near the full length mirror so it was manageable. There is a coffee shop with muffins, croissants, pastries right next door which was convenient."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Apex Waterloo is conveniently located to many of Edinburgh’s attractions. It’s an easy walk to Weaverly Station. Close to Princes Street Gardens. If you forgot anything there’s a mall right behind the hotel and the shops on Princes Street is an easy walk. Easy access to the Royal Mile. It’s my second time to base my Edinburgh trip from this hotel. I’ll use it for future trips too."
