Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel in a great location with friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was amazing and I recommend to make it included in the stay. The only thing that I have a bit of issue is the shower has only have half glass and doesn't have door to close, it cause flooding while taking shower. Sink it very high and not good for short people. these are small issues considering everything else was great."

Destiny Student Holyrood - Campus Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was swift with the friendly staff, they also took our bag around 11:30 before our check ib at 3 to allow us to travel light on our first day around the city. Room was very clean, had a fan already in the room which helped during the heatwave. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed for prepare the odd evening meal, breakfast or packed lunch for the day. Labels were provided for the fridge and our things were secure during our stay. The common room is off limits to guests, which was a conflict of the photos of things available prior to booking, so my daughter couldn’t play pool as she’d hoped, but no biggie. Soft drinks I. The vending machine were £2.50 each, so we opted to by out when we could. Wasn’t aware no eating or drinking was allowed in the rooms, so we had to get dressed out of our PJ’s before having a cuppa in the kitchen area while still half asleep. All in all we were very happy with our stay, the bed was advertised small, but me and my teenage daughter slept in it fine for our four nights. Make sure you use your fob to lock your door on leaving the room as it doesn’t automatically lock. Shower was ample pressure, and plenty toiletries, tea, coffee and sugar was always available at the front desk. Ear plugs are also available at the desk if you find the loudness of the doors closing in the building an issue, but it was fine really. The location was brill, close to the palace and royal mile and close by bus stops to the shore and royal mile."

voco Edinburgh - Royal Terrace by IHG

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property and room. Comfortable beds, sizable room! Loved having access to room service, which was good and reasonably priced, though wish they were open later for jet lag purposes- they also stopped serving prior to 9 30 a few nights. Our air conditioning wasn't working and we were offered no solution or discount. One of the main reasons we booked this hotel was because it had air conditioning. The window didn't open much either so the room was often warm. Also something to note is that the hotel is up a big hill! Lots of big hills in Edinburgh, but something to keep in mind when planning getting around."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"The hotel room was very clean, and the staff was very friendly. However, the hotel could have been better furnished as the carpet and the furniture both had stains. Our room was located quite far from the elevator, but the location of the property is superb. It has good amenities for a family, and the staff checked up on us by removing our used towels. However, they could improve by providing a text message system to reach them since they have no landline in the rooms for requests."
