Village Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel. Well situated. The staff are amazing and so helpful. The beds were super comfy. Only let down was the food. Fish and chips tasteless and everything else covered in chillies. Upside was we did mention this and was immediately refunded half the cost of our meal. Special mention to the bar manager. He was extremely polite and helpful. Would definitely stay again, but would eat out."

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."

Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"Clean room, seemed dated. Water pressure wasn’t great and the water wasn’t that hot. I was only there for one night for a conference and the bed was clean which is the main thing. Well located and reasonably priced. For other leonardos I’ve stayed in this was the most run down."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great hotel that has all the necessary amenities to make a trip pleasant. We stayed 7 nights and it was the best decision we made to book here. Blackout curtains in the room were such a nice feature and the bathrooms and showers were top notch. The location is perfect and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We look forward to our next stay with Apex 💯"

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."
