Top Scottish Gems Hotel Reviews

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect sleep had and afterwards a relaxing swim then a beautiful breakfast had. The location is ideal for bus or train travelling. I will definitely return next year."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Loved the location."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great, great location, room was just lovely!"

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hôtel très bien situé! C’était assez tranquille la nuit même si c’était près de plusieurs pubs. Nous avons adoré y séjourner et le recommandons fortement. Lit confortable, chambre assez grande. Nous avons opté pour deux lits simples afin de bien dormir car dans la description ce n’était pas trop claire si c’était des lits King size et nous n’avons pas regretter, les lits étaient collée donc c’était tout comme! N’hésitez pas et allez-y, vous allez aimer!"

Market Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"We' stayed at this beautiful property once before, and we loved the cool, sleek design of the rooms. But the first issue I noticed this time was the mold growing in the floor and shower grout. The water pressure was low and nor hot in th mornings, and the sink and the shower had drainage issues. Also, it would have been helpful to have more lighting over the sink area, as it was difficult to see into the mirror with only a makeup mirror light . These issues need to be dealt with, especially the mold. It would be such a disappointment to see this lovely hotel continue to go down in quality like it is beginning to. Otherwise, it's in a fabulous location...close to everything!"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful exterior fit nicely within the surrounding area. Centrally located by Royal Mile, High St. staff was immensely kind and helpful. Thank you to Sara for going above and beyond. The room was spacious and clean as was the bathroom."

Stay Central

10/10 Excellent

"Room was nice. The bar attached was noisy, however, earplugs were provided. Staff were exceptional as was the breakfast. Really good location. If you come by train and have luggage I would recommend taking a taxi. Enjoyed our brief stay."
