Top Greyfriar's Bobby Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Menu in room was outdated. One Elevator was not working. Pillows were not comfortable Shower was great Staff was very helpful"

The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience, the hotel is in a perfect to visit the Castle and surrounding areas"

Safestay Edinburgh Cowgate

8/10 Good

"The check out time for this hostel is 11am. Government I.D. is a mandatory requirement for check in which is not mentioned on the listing. The bunk bed was really comfortable and there are generous size lockers provided to put your stuff in, power sockets including USB are at each bed plus free wi-fi. The shared bathroom facilities were very clean containing toilets and showers."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great!"

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

8/10 Good

"The room was very small and the bed was up against a wall on one side it was very difficult getting in and out of the bed especially in the middle of the night the TV wouldn’t let our phones cast to it someone came up to look at it and told us he would send someone to look at it but no one did. The location was good."

Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Good location. Rooms on the non castle side hear garbage trucks early in the morning. Other than that I would be happy to stay there again."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel and great location. Visiting in September, our room on the top floor was too warm, and we heard another woman on a lower floor asking for a heater. Staff tried really hard to help and we ended up with a window open—which means you get all of the sounds of a busy city. Still, a really nice place."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The location was excellent, the food was good, the social aspect was unexpectedly fun. We are older than the typical guests, so my only negative is that we were in bed sooner than most and the elevator ding and doors clunking shut late into the evening took away from general sleep quality. But, if you want good value and superb location and a chance to mingle with travellers from all over the world, this is a good place to start."

Stay Central

10/10 Excellent

"Very well located. Friendly staff made for a lovely stay"
