Top Dunbar’s Close Garden Hotel Reviews

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hidden gem of a hotel in the heart of Edinburgh! Easy to walk to all the sites and neighborhoods. Well thought out rooms - so many great design details and amenities. Staff were very helpful and loved the lounge/restaurant on the top floor!"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms with a very friendly staff to answer any of your questions. All the listed amenities were on point. Didn’t eat breakfast on site, but from the look of things it got pretty busy. Location was the main reason we booked as it was right on the Royal Mile. Everything else was just a plus."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The location was perfect for a weekend trip to Edinburgh, close to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh castle. The room was well appointed although very small. Our room was not ready at check-in time which I find unacceptable for a highly rated and relatively expensive hotel. Also, the room was not cleaned until about 5pm which was a bit disruptive to our day. I would stay here again for a night or two but not longer."

Holyrood Aparthotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for a week, Great spot, nice and quite, a small supermarket almost right behind, which was very handy. 1 min walk from the Royal mile too. easy access to some local restaurants and cafes etc. the only issue we had was the heater wasn't working, we were given a small electric radiator that help take the chill off but it wasn't ideal. we did tell the office and they said that they would advise the maintenance staff, but in the whole week we never saw them. Apart from smokers standing outside the main door, and our room not being dark all night, apparently our room appears to be the only one that has an exterior light outside near the window that is on all night, everything was good. The dishwasher and washing machine were great and all detergents supplied, as was some fresh milk in the fridge to help get you going."
