Additionally, sleeping 5 meant sharing spaces as there is only a large great room / kitchen and the master bedroom with master bath. If you need a laundry you’ll have to reserve somewhere else. The location was the best attribute of this property. It is close to everything."

Top Castlehill Hotel Reviews

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Unfortunately the windows dont open, so you will have to use the split air conditioner which is a bit tricky to just get the fan as AC was unnecessary during my time of trip. Very helpful staff, very nice bar and restaurant with friendly servers. Perfectly located in Edinburgh to see whatever you want to see!"

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

8/10 Good

"We were three lady friends staying in a room together and found the bathroom/toilet didn’t have any privacy, frosted glass doors and walls and all open plan."

Stay Central

8/10 Good

"My husband and I enjoyed staying at Stay Central. It was in a great location, about a 5 minute walk from the Royal Mile. My only complaint is that when I asked for more pillows (there were 4 in the room), they said they ran out and none were available. Given this is a 4 star hotel, I find that a bit off and disappointing. Other than that, the staff were friendly and helpful"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

"All was excellent! So clean and charming. Excellent location. Staff is very welcoming, helpful and attentive. Would recommend."
