St Christopher's Edinburgh Original ★★★
"Easily accessible to the Train station, near fast food shops in the evening when most of the restaurants close, and great cleaning"
Britannia Edinburgh Hotel ★★★
A quiet riverside location; just a 15-minute walk to Princes Street; 10 minutes to Haymarket Station.
4 Friends House ★★
"First of all, I want to thank the staff. His service attitude is very good. He almost replied to messages in seconds. He also tried his best to meet our needs. The sanitation of the room is also good. Shampoo and shower gel are provided, and there is a bathtub🛁. Everything is satisfactory, except that the location is on the street. When the car drives by, there will be some noise. You may need to wear earplugs to ensure the quality of sleep. But the price is cheap, I am very satisfied"
Murrayfield Hotel ★★★★
"At breakfast it was irritating that sitting 2people on the bench it meant that to get toast etc the inside person had to get the other person to move. Also had to keep catching waiters eye to get more coffee. Lovely receptionists"
Garner Hotel Edinburgh - Haymarket ★★★
"Stayed here for two nights.The room was fine , was clean and quiet. There is a mainline railway station very close so no need from taxis if arriving by train.Its about a 20 minute walk to Princes Street.The people on the front desk were very nice and knowledgeable .Would stay here again ."
Code Pod – the Court - Edinburgh ★★★★
"It was GREAT. The washrooms and showers were so clean and spacious. Very secure had lockers as well. The location is right behind st Giles in the middle of Royal Mile, very convenient. Staff were friendly and helpful. It was super quiet at night, i stayed in the courtroom,the room was super clean and comfortable. Recommend!!"
St Christopher's Edinburgh Old Town ★★
"Inconsiderate hotel staff, expects you to follow policies that aren’t mentioned explicitly"
Tynecastle Park Hotel ★★★★
"Very kind and polite staff. Very clean"
Edinburgh House Hotel ★★★
"To be honest this is the worst accomodation I ever stay in. The room is so small, there is no Aircon, no fridge which It is very rare in today' world. Not recommend to anyone. The only plus is that it is not far from the city centre, the bus and tram are also convenient."

Choose the Perfect Edinburgh Stay for Your Travel Needs

Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa
5-star luxury hotel (Marriott), One Spa, indoor pool, rooftop hydropool, restaurant, bar, castle views, and free WiFi.
The Bonham
"The hotel is very quiet, and the bed is big and comfortable. But the room is a little small. The hotel will send some snacks and water every day. But the hotel lobby is relatively small, and only some customers who need to drink and order food can sit in the room below, which is not good."
Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood
"Facilities: Very good, though the faucet still separates hot and cold water. Hygiene: Clean and tidy. Environment: Quiet all around. Service: Excellent."
Apex Waterloo Place Hotel
"The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic – almost all the attractions are within walking distance. It's right at the foot of Calton Hill, and with daylight saving time, it stays light late, so it's super convenient to watch the sunset, head back to the hotel to rest, and then go out again to see it."
Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh
"Room is big than we expect and clean and staff are nice. Location is good, bus stop in front of hotel."
Norton House Hotel & Spa
Award-winning spa with indoor pool, hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room, fully equipped gym & treatment rooms. Perfect for rejuvenation, stress relief & wellness getaways.
Holiday Inn Express EDINBURGH - LEITH WATERFRONT by IHG
"The room was an alcove next to the corridor, with only a sliver of a view from the window. The elevator was broken and incredibly noisy, keeping me awake all night. It's completely uninhabitable. The shower was filthy, with black mold stains all over the walls. This is by far the worst Holiday Inn I've ever stayed at in terms of facilities and cleanliness, and it was also the most expensive (over £200 a night). I wouldn't recommend it at all unless absolutely necessary. The front desk service was good, which was the only upside."
InterContinental Hotels EDINBURGH THE GEORGE by IHG
An award-winning 5-star landmark offering opulent accommodation, gourmet dining and bespoke service for discerning travellers.
