Top Real Mary King's Close Hotel Reviews

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great time in Edinburgh! Thanks to my hotel being in the center of everything- staff were nice and its a really good location. I had a great stay"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Overall great location and services (smooth check-in, dedicated rooms for bag storage), good kettle and offerings, spacious room, comfortable king bed, clean surroundings. The bathroom was newly renovated, but the shower was tricky (the glass divider is a bit too short to shield water from spilling over), and the key panel was old-fashioned and seemed old. The service and location was so excellent that I couldn't dock a star. Note that there are a few steps at the main entrance!"

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"This was an excellent, modern apartment hotel with an absolutely fantastic location. We really appreciated the kitchenette after traveling for a few weeks - it was so nice to be able to stock up on breakfast and snacks to have around. Beds were comfy, shower a good size, and our room was very quiet so we got a great rest. It was close to the bus line and simple to walk where we needed to go. If you want to be in the action without having to listen to the action, it is a perfect retreat."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Concierge was amazing! Definitely the highlight of our stay. The room was comfy and clean. Great location, especially since it’s near the bus stop. Would definitely recommend this place."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Excellent place to stay in old town. Very centrally located. Good restaurant and bar and very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend"

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was helpful and friendly. Location was perfect for either public transit or walking the city. The property was clean and offered lots of amenities. I would definitely stay here again."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! Everything was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was wonderful—always friendly, welcoming, and eager to help with anything we needed. The location was fantastic, with so many attractions, shops, and restaurants nearby, making it easy to explore and enjoy our trip. The hotel was worth every penny and truly made our visit even more memorable. Our only regret is that we didn’t have enough time to experience everything the area has to offer! We enjoyed ourselves so much that we’re already planning a return trip in the next few years. We highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again!"
