Top Royal Mile Hotel Reviews

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were great and very helpful. Hotel is centrally located and very easy to access. Hotel is very clean including the room."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent experience - highly recommend!!!!"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The bathroom is very good, great design, everything has been thought of, but the sleeping area wasn’t great, it was so small, most of it is taken up by the huge bed frame and clunky faux marble table. We had a really long walk to our room with no lifts There was a wedding on Saturday and our room was literally next to the party! Roof top terrace is literally a terrace, you have to buy your very expensive drink from the bar and carry it yourself up to the roof terrace. Breakfast needs more variety Staff were very attentive and helpful and the location is fantastic. However it’s not worth the amount we spent per night"
