ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

6/10 Okay

"Excellent location. Close to everything. Parking is off site about a 10 minute walk away. Bring a jacket. its always raining. "

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

10/10 Excellent

"The room had a great view of Edinburgh Castle. Everything was in walking distance of the hotel. The room was nice and comfortable. Had an issue with a blind, and maintenance fixed it immediately. Breakfast was either continental or big breakfast. For its price and location, one couldn’t go wrong with this hotel. We would stay here again."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and well presented, however there was mould noted around the window area which was disappointing for a recently redecorated room. Hotel was clean and tidy on entering and staff were welcoming. Would come back for another visit as it is positioned in a great location for Edinburgh. "
