Top Royal Scottish Academy Art Gallery Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Really wonderful location and the staff were great. The room was super comfortable and the bed and pillow and shower were all great. However the room was smaller than expected and a bit dark and dingy. However it had everything we needed and as it was so comfy highly likely to stay again .."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Conveniently located in the Grassmarket area of Edinburg with great access to the Royal Mile. Room was clean, staff were helpful and breakfast was tasty!"

Fraser Suites Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"A perfect location! Located just on the corner of the Royal Mike right by St.Giles Cathedral (a great landmark when you’re not sure where you’re at). Walkable to everything including Grassmarket, New Town, St.James shopping quarter & more. Hotel staff is superb! Rooms are very nice, totally updated, air conditioned too! A big bonus, free washer & dryer for guests, soap included!! Bathrooms are quite nice, tub & shower, big fluffy towels. This is my 3rd time staying at Fraser Suites. I’ll never stay anywhere else in Edinburgh! Be sure to make a reservation to eat at Vittoria’s on the South Bridge, just a short walk, and food & drinks are fantastic!! You won’t be disappointed!"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Location is terrific, easy walk to many places in Edinburgh. Whether you enter hotel from the corner or the side you are hit with stairs - early 70's and this would be a deterrent from booking again. We tried for early check in (both by written request the prior week and at 9:30 am the morning of check in) and did not get in until the 3 pm check in time despite sitting in lobby for 2 hours and watching 30-40 people check in early. Additionally, we paid an upcharge for a "view" - we could see some patches of green through small openings in trees, and then we could see a building full of scaffolding through the treetops, across the railyard. Guess I needed a definition of what constitutes a "view". Left our stay feeling ripped off."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Centrally located, block away from The Museum of Scotland, block away from Royal Mile. Not far from Waverly Station. No fridge was only complaint. Staff was great, check in/out easy."

Hub By Premier Inn Edinburgh Cc Rose Street

10/10 Excellent

"Location is superb. Friendly staff. Decent wifi, nice clean room. Free tea and coffee in the morning tho you have to pay for breakfasts. Easy access to local parks, pubs, shops and Waverly train station. Most places worth visiting in Edinburgh are within a 30 minute radius of the 'hub', depending how fast you can walk!"
