"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes. We did have a mix-up with our booking, as the room was reserved for three people but didn’t have a sleeping option for the third guest. 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 Museum of Childhood Hotel Reviews

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Really liked the hotel just wish there would have been more description about the room. The photos show a room with big windows hot to the hotel and it was a small window looking right at a wall. Was so bummed out! Also keep in mind there is no AC so you’ll probably want to open your windows which is fine expect it’s near a pub I heard everything from singing and drunk people up until around 4am very loudly and then people fighting. Other than that great location."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Great location, quiet, and easy check-in. The staff were polite and professional. The stay was pretty pricey but it's Edinburgh. I would stay again if I were to return."

Stay Central

8/10 Good

"My husband and I enjoyed staying at Stay Central. It was in a great location, about a 5 minute walk from the Royal Mile. My only complaint is that when I asked for more pillows (there were 4 in the room), they said they ran out and none were available. Given this is a 4 star hotel, I find that a bit off and disappointing. Other than that, the staff were friendly and helpful"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh
