Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Absolute ideal spot on the Royal Mile. Beautiful rooms, lovely staff and great restaurant, Eve ! Will visit again next time through !"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Really great experience. Excellent location."

Best Western Kings Manor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The welcome by the receptionist Anand was 5 star and above, welcoming and informative, exactly what you need after a long journey,took the time to answer all my questions and nothing was to much for her, a 5 star employee"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"We stayed in Edinburgh for 3 nights and the Mount Royal was great. The room was nice, bathroom was a little small but manageable (shower is not fully enclosed so water will go out onto the floor). It was nice to have the bar and restaurant on site. The service at the reception desk and the bar were great. The location is nice and central to old and new town, Dean Village is even only a 20min walk away."

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"Clean room, well behaved staff, good amenities. My room was very spacious with a reasonable price. Breakfast was really good served with hot and cold drinks."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"My fiancé and I stayed here for the week leading up to our wedding, and we absolutely loved it. The biggest selling point of this hotel is its location. Being able to walk straight out onto Cockburn Street was incredibly convenient, and we were within walking distance of so many shops, restaurants, pubs, and bars. It made exploring Edinburgh's Old Town effortless, and we rarely needed to worry about transportation. We didn't travel by car, but I could see parking potentially being an issue for those who do. However, the hotel is directly across from Waverley Station, which made getting around by train incredibly easy and convenient. The room itself was clean and comfortable, with a standard amount of space comparable to what you'd expect from a hotel room in Canada. We had quite a bit of luggage with us for the week, but there was still room for the two of us to settle in comfortably. One particularly great perk was the luggage storage. We arrived in the city around 10 a.m., and the hotel had a large, secure, locked luggage storage room where we could leave our bags until our room was ready. This allowed us to head out and enjoy the day without worrying about our luggage. Overall, we had a fantastic stay. While the rooms are fairly standard, the location is what truly sets this hotel apart. If you want to stay right in the heart of Edinburgh and have the city's sights, shops, and nightlife right at your doorstep, this is an excellent choice!"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel within an easy walking distance to Edinburgh Waverly Train Station and High Street. Room was comfortable and included free mini-bar snack and beverage items."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Being from the US and first time in Edinburgh, the hotel location was a great importance to our travel! About a 7 min walk from the bus station, the location was centered with everything to see and do. The 24 hr wash and dry and gym , not to mention the breakfast was indeed an added bonus! The staff were very kind and helpful when in need."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel so much!! Everyone was so incredibly kind and the room and bathroom were so nice! Location was absolutely perfect. Very central and you can literally see the castle from out front!"
