"Overall excellent Hotel very strategic location to Waverley Train station,bus stop and St James mall Staff at breakfast area very friendly and attentive to service Just that hotel shower area needs better maintenance - stains on bathroom walls"
Garner Hotel Edinburgh - Haymarket

Roomzzz Edinburgh

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile
"Location is awesome! 7 mins walk away from Waverley Station. Right next to Ross Mile and walkable to most of the attractions. Staffs are friendly and helpful too. Would come back to stay there again"
Holiday Inn Express EDINBURGH - CITY WEST by IHG
"The hotel was clean and perfect for staying Staff was nice and helpful. Location is ok if you like distance a little from Princess St Overall was perfect"
Holiday Inn Express EDINBURGH - LEITH WATERFRONT by IHG
"Location: Very conveniently located right across a couple of bus stops and also a few steps away from Ocean Terminal tram stop. The Oean Terminal has a few well known brand outlets which we did not visit but if you have nothing else to do, it could be a nice way to spend your time. Also the Royal Britannia Yacht is right there. Cleanliness and facilities: just as expected from IHG, very clean and also the facilities that we wanted: luggage storage, a simple bar/ restaurant and hot breakfast. Nothing extraordinary but absolutely essential. Note: scrambled eggs could be better. Service: OK, as expected. We had already sent a note saying we were going to arrive between 1 AM and 1:30 AM, and when we came to the reception around 1:15 AM, they promptly delivered the keys and on the inside of the card was written "no show". Which means the reception doing the night shift never saw our note and had already marked us as possible "no show". It did not hurt us, but I did not like the fact they never read our note, it shows the impersonal nature of their service. Therefore I deducted one star. Note: The cranberry tea is a nice selection. It helped my headache. Thanks."
Destiny Student - Holyrood (Brae House)
"Hotel was university dorm rooms. Small but comfortable and had toilet and shower. There is a shared kitchen (shared between ~6 rooms). Walls were thin which is a problem if neighbours are noisy. Location is decent, plenty of restaurants and pubs within walking distance. Overall it's an ok place to stay, not cheap but not bad value compared to other places in the city. Note that hotel charges £5 per bag if you want to leave things behind the counter until check in time."
Virgin Hotels Edinburgh
"Incredible location, great rooms and magnificent staff. Loved it!"
