Top St. Andrew Square Hotel Reviews

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Location was ideal. In the middle of most everything. Double room was great. Staff was super helpful with all of our questions."

W Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The W Edinburgh is well situated between the Old Town and New Town and very quiet considering its location. The staff was incredible and very accommodating with welcome drinks and bringing bags up to the room. The room itself is quite spacious, however, the only thing to note is the bathroom situation which is two separate rooms for the toilet and shower with frosted glass which is open to the room so everything can be heard. Other than that, for a couple of nights, the hotel is perfect and would recommend for couples given the bathroom set up."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"The room was simple and clean, which is what I expected for the budget price. Hot water morning and evening for a good shower. Good breakfast buffet and friendly staff. Very good location, just a 10- to 15-minute walk up a slight hill from Waverley. Would stay again."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The stand out was the service. Friendly staff and excellent service. Room service was speedy and if you had breakfast included there was no extra charge. We had an issue with our TV and someone was there within 2 mins. The amenities in the bathroom smelt gorgeous. Loved the variety in the mini bar. Good size mugs for a cuppa. Only down side was the water pressure in the shower."
