"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes. We did have a mix-up with our booking, as the room was reserved for three people but didn’t have a sleeping option for the third guest. However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

"We enjoyed our stay here. Staff were very nice! The bar was very nice and a great place to relax at night. Our breakfasts was good. Location was excellent and very walkable. Beds were comfortable and room was very nice as was the bathroom."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Muy buena ubicación. Conceniente patw ir a todos lados caminando. Lo único es que no nos rellenaron el jabón líquido para bañarnos y el teléfono del cuarto no funcionaba. Pero lo demás todo excelente"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The property was smack in the middle of Edinburgh. Steps away from new town and just a short walk to Old Town. Staff were very helpful and our room stay was very comfortable."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

The Scott

10/10 Excellent

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"Clean room, well behaved staff, good amenities. My room was very spacious with a reasonable price. Breakfast was really good served with hot and cold drinks."

Kildonan Lodge Hotel

8/10 Good

"We were in the separate guest building and had no real issues! Room was clean and building was clean! We had no breakfast at the location and parking. Was right next to building!interaction with staff was limited to check in only!"

Melville Castle

8/10 Good

"Most of the staff were lovely and went out of their way to accommodate requests or needs. Service for meals was fairly slow, so plan accordingly. Food quality and temperatures should definitely be I Improved. While the property was lovely, the furnishings were a bit shabby and worn down. It wouldn’t take much to raise the standard and impression. Finally, the write ups and marketing should be more truthful about what can be seen on property and how authentic the current building truly is. Those looking for royalty to have stayed at the ‘castle’ will be let down."
