Top Greyfriar's Bobby Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed one night, hotel clean, great location."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location. No air conditioning so room felt stuffy. Hotel had nice breakfast. Location was the key"

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"Room was small, no in room facilities to make a hot drink. Lack of storage for luggage and clothing, would recommend as a short stay location only. Great location though, lots of food options"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"We were upgraded to a larger room and had early check in. The room was really nice, clean, comfy bed, and well laid out. You couldn’t ask for a more ideal location. One of us fell ill and the concierge team was exceptional - locating a doctor to come to our room, while checking in on us our entire stay. A top notch hotel, with some really cool public spaces and a pretty good bar."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Was a nice room. Not very big, but its expected. I was worried about the gym as the photos online show a poorly equipped room. However, they have upgraded since then! It is still a small room, where 1-3 people can workout at the same time. But they have dumbbells up to 22KG, a seated bench press up to 100KG, a leg extension machine, a decent rower and 2 other cardio machines. Its a big hot in there and I'm not sure if the window opens, but its much better than I was expecting. Location is good, off to one end of town more but was quite and still easy to walk to main transit stations."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Well located near Royal Mile and Castle."

Safestay Edinburgh Cowgate

8/10 Good

"It was my first hostel experience and I thought it was great. The location is excellent, and the staff are very attentive. The only downsides (nothing that would stop me from returning) were the noise in the hallways and the bathroom, which could have been cleaner. But I highly recommend it."

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."

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"
