Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and friendly statt"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"We liked the proximity to the Royal Mile and Waverly train station, as we were staying here for 20 days. The room and bathroom were very nice. The restaurant was useless to us because of our fish and seafood allergies. We were assured at least 10 times that they would take special care not to have any cross contamination and then went ahead and deep fried our french fries in the same oil as fish. We luckily asked again because my throat felt funny after eating a couple of french fries, asking if they had been cooked in the same oil as fish, to which they responded yes! We immediately had to take a couple of Benadryls and get out our epi pens and decide whether to call the ambulance. We were offered a lousy 25% discount on our meal from the food manager, even though we had barely started eating. We then went to the front desk to report the incident. They were much more caring and the manager said we would not be paying anything for our meals. They also had us sit in the lobby so they could keep an eye on our reactions to the fish exposure. When we finally went to our room, they checked on us until we felt we would be ok. This was greatly appreciated but we couldn't chance eating there again. Very disappointing."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"The room was big and had all the kitchen stuff, but to me, it wasn’t really necessary. There was a cigarette butt in the rubbish bin, and it smelled so bad. It seemed like trash wasn’t cleared enough—there was an empty water bottle in the recycling bin when I arrived. Overall, it was a nice place to stay, but a little pricey for a solo traveler!"

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for our silver wedding anniversary and glad we chose the Apex Waterloo. Check in was easy and friendly, Room was very nice, clean, spacious and well equipped. Wonderful reception lady came and brought us a bottle of Prosecco on ice with 2 glasses on the house which was a lovely gesture Pool and Spa was lovely and relaxing and for an early Sat evening we had it to ourselves. The lady managing the Spa was wonderfully polite and kind. The bar staff were friendly. Overall a great hotel, yes price was high, but mid July, excellent proximity to city centre, train station etc and special occasion the Apex Waterloo was an excellent choice and would definitely recommend"

Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh - Leith Waterfront by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our 6 night stay. It was convenient to be near Ocean Terminal for the bus line and pharmacy/coffee. The elevator and a/c were the reason we chose this hotel, and worked perfectly. The path along the water was beautiful. Breakfast was hot and a great way to start our day."
