However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

Top Leith Docks Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location was perfect close to everything. Hotel was clean staff were helpful"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The view in front of the hotel is breathtaking, the castles stands on a hill standing proudly as if saying … I am still here. The hotel is surrounded by old beautiful buildings but inside they offer restaurants and Art exhibits. The street behind the hotel are loaded with souvenir shops."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really comfortable room in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. We loved our stay overall and thought the staff at reception and throughout the hotel were great. The only thing I’d say is that the minibar replenishment was intermittent. While it was supposed to be refilled every day, we found that wasn’t the case, and finding a solution wasn’t straightforward when flagged with reception."
