Motel One Edinburgh-Princes

10/10 Excellent

"Very close to all the attractions and train stations. Highly recommend!"

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was quiet, clean, and had lovely shampoo, conditioner, bath & body wash, and skin cream in the room. It was convenient to walk to Waverley station, the tram and bus stops, New Town, and Old Town. The staff was so helpful and kind to keep our luggage before check in and following check out. I would stay here again."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time in Edinburgh and our first European trip. The hotel is wonderful! Everyone was very pleasant upon our arrival. The cozy room was in fact cozy. The room was well stocked with everything you would need. Hairdryer with attachments, clothing steamer Nespresso machine tea kettle. The air conditioning worked great. The room was quiet and dark at night. The bed was very comfortable. If coming from the United States remember that in Europe hotel rooms are not as large as we are used to. This is the perfect size. You’re in the middle of it all. Everything is within walking distance. The tram stop is right up the road on Princes street. Maybe a 8 minute walk. Waverly station is across the street. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Edinburgh."

W Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"W Edinburgh is a fantastic hotel and one of the best places to stay if you want to be right in the heart of the city. The location is hard to beat—very central, within easy walking distance of Edinburgh’s major sights, restaurants, and some of the best luxury shopping in the city. Two thumbs up! The staff were excellent throughout my stay, friendly, professional, and very helpful. My room was modern, stylish, extremely clean, and very comfortable. One of the highlights was the sushi restaurant on the top floor. The food was excellent, and the views over Edinburgh made the experience even better. The rooftop areas are definitely worth visiting, even if you’re just going up for a drink and to enjoy the scenery. Super nice up there... Overall, I had a great stay at W Edinburgh. If you want a modern luxury hotel with excellent service, great dining, incredible views, and possibly the best central location in Edinburgh, this is a great choice. I would definitely stay here again. Nice gym too..."

10/10 Excellent

"This is a small hotel, we had two carry one suitcases and backpacks, it would be tough to comfortably fit much more than they in the room. But it's in an unbeatable location. The staff were super friendly, access was easy (no elevator though), and lots of walkable activities nearby including the castle up the hill"
