"Staying in an actual castle was a dream come true for this soon to be 50 year old! The room was amazing and staff were phenomenal. The food was terrific - both the basement restaurant and the breakfast room. We only stayed one night due to our busy schedule but would've loved to stay and enjoy the beautiful grounds. Price was similar to a night in a 2-3 star hotel in London, which was shocking - would've much rather stayed here!!! This was a bucket list check off for me for sure!"

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely fantastic!"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Smooth and friendly check in. Awesome location with views of the castle! Would definitely use again."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed one night, hotel clean, great location."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this hotel, (particularly Amos and Sharon) were exceptional. Unfortunately I had the misfortune of falling quite ill during my stay, during breakfast of all times on the day of my checkout, and these individuals responded to my situation in an extremely professional manner. They catered to my needs at the time with tremendous empathy and concern, and made sure my wife was informed and comfortable with the medical procedures of a foreign country regarding ambulatory transportation, and her accommodations for that night. Even though the hotel was fully booked, they managed to secure a room for her so she didn't have to relocate. Obviously I have nothing but praise for this hotel. If I'm ever in Edinburgh again, this will be my preferred choice. I am back in Canada now and doing much better and wish to express my sincere thanks as well as utmost congratulations to these two outstanding individuals. This hotel is very fortunate to have them in their employ. ."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"We were upgraded to a larger room and had early check in. The room was really nice, clean, comfy bed, and well laid out. You couldn’t ask for a more ideal location. One of us fell ill and the concierge team was exceptional - locating a doctor to come to our room, while checking in on us our entire stay. A top notch hotel, with some really cool public spaces and a pretty good bar."

Kildonan Lodge Hotel

8/10 Good

"I loved this hotel. Excellent staff and a very comfortable bedroom with a four poster bed to the front of the property. The guest lounge with its roaring fire was very welcome after a long day. I would have liked a lined blind or curtain for the bathroom which could have provided more privacy from the road. Parking here is a real bonus and the buses for the city centre stop are just a short walk away. I would love to revisit this hotel when next in Edinburgh."

The Scott

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place to stay. The rooms were beautiful. Breakfast was great fresh fruit everyday in the reception would highly recommend this place"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

"Good, some lockers werent locking properly, plugs in bunk were limited. Rather have a plug than a charging port that barely charges."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for exploring old and “new” Edinburgh!! Right on the Royal Mile and less than 15 minutes to any and all the sites—- great pub restaurants immediately nearby at reasonable prices- really recommended!!"
