Top Butterfly and Insect World Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

"Great location. Castle view on the 5th floor. Right in the center of everything. We went for the Tatto & had a repeat each night going to sleep hearing bagpipes. Breakfast was great value for the price. Alot of food and convenient to have at hotel. Staff very friendly & helpful"

Edinburgh Travel Guest House

8/10 Good

"It would have been nice if the were face cloths included with the towels. Location was good, and close to a bus stop."

Dalhousie Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing experience at a castle! Everything we hoped for and more, in regards to the authenticity of the room to the quality of the food and drinks!"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The bathroom is very good, great design, everything has been thought of, but the sleeping area wasn’t great, it was so small, most of it is taken up by the huge bed frame and clunky faux marble table. We had a really long walk to our room with no lifts There was a wedding on Saturday and our room was literally next to the party! Roof top terrace is literally a terrace, you have to buy your very expensive drink from the bar and carry it yourself up to the roof terrace. Breakfast needs more variety Staff were very attentive and helpful and the location is fantastic. However it’s not worth the amount we spent per night"

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"The bed was very soft and wonderful to sleep on. Also, the breakfast was great as well as the coffee. The property was a little run down as far as maintenance goes. The staff and management were very helpful and courteous."

Kildonan Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Mister A at reception was amazing very helpful Breakfast amazimg Very nice Will comeback again"

Premier Inn Edinburgh A1 - Musselburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and convenient. A little strange that I had to give my license plate number as they have a private park ing ticketing company given parking tickets out. I guess it's a way to make money off guest if they forget to punch in. Stayed in Hotels all over the world, but never seen this tourist trap before."

Northumberland Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Bus located right outside making it easy to get to and from for sightseeing. Bed was comfortable."
