YOTEL Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Off the main drag but on main transit route and within walking distance of restaurants and sights. Clean and spacious rooms, great for a few days stay to explore the city."

voco Edinburgh - Royal Terrace by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful. I really appreciated the rooms being cleaned daily. I also liked the amenities in the room with being stocked daily. The breakfast was excellent. Very close to downtown, without the noise of downtown. Great air-conditioning, which was much appreciated. Of the four places that we stayed between Ireland and Scotland on our trip this was our favorite."

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we entered this hotel, we were greeted by very kind, caring staff. They were very helpful with questions, directions etc. We stayed at this hotel for 8 nights. It was great to have breakfast included with our booking. Good variety of breakfast foods and nice areas to enjoy breakfast. Hotel is excellent location to walk to many sites. We are in our seventies and could walk easily to Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh Castle. Calton hill is right next door too. When we were there the city tram was down due to a fire along the line- had it been in service it would have stopped right in front of this hotel making a super easy commute from the airport. Our room was always clean and ample to our needs. It was very quiet at night too- great for sleeping. We would easily recommend this hotel to those wanting a central location in Edinburgh."

Kimpton Charlotte Square by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I booked an extra week or so here because I just loved Edinburgh. This hotel is honestly so great. The staff are spectacularly helpful, the complimentary snacks and drinks are plentiful and very convenient, the complimentary drinks at the bar during the social hour are fun (though I missed most of these because I was usually out at that hour, but still, it’s fun if you’re in the hotel, and it’s a good time to have a couple drinks before dinner), the fact that housekeeping is available 24/7 is beyond amazing. I will absolutely be back to stay here again when in Edinburgh next, which I hope can be soon!"
