Destiny Student - Holyrood (Brae House) ★★★★
"A bit far away from the city centre but it is a good deal compared with those in town. Got a shared kitchen with microwave which is very helpful."
St Christopher's Edinburgh Original ★★★
"First time staying in a hostel with triple bunk beds. The old guy on the bottom bunk never stopped talking, then immediately started snoring after his call. In the middle of the night, he'd wake up to eat after snoring."
Destiny Student – Murano (Campus Accommodation) ★★★★
"Its nice that this was affordable for a quick trip up. The staff were really nice and polite, always helpful when needed and go above and beyond. I would recommend them i hope i can return next summer if I can"
Destiny - Burnet Point
"This is a newly built student dormitory. The front desk staff were polite. The price I paid was quite high, probably because there was a concert and it was a weekend. The usual price is actually quite reasonable. I really liked this dorm; it was my first time experiencing something like it. I noticed many of the residents were European and American tourists, as well as Chinese tourists. When I checked in, I met some students who were all very friendly and even helped me with directions. There's also a study room on the top floor, with a kitchen where you can boil water and prepare simple meals. From the top floor, you can see Arthur's Seat."
Britannia Edinburgh Hotel ★★★
A quiet riverside location; just a 15-minute walk to Princes Street; 10 minutes to Haymarket Station.
4 Friends House ★★
"Arrived late but received a warm welcome, room service every day, no inconvenience even though shared bathroom"
Murrayfield Hotel ★★★★
"The service was excellent and rooms very clean"
Garner Hotel Edinburgh - Haymarket ★★★
"very good and would recommend, it’s also near the walk of leith pathway where you can walk to the stockbridge from there. good location and a 20 min walk to the city."
Code Pod – the Court - Edinburgh ★★★★
"I visited at the end of March, and Edinburgh was still quite cold, especially with the strong winds. The hostel's location is excellent, right by the church on the Royal Mile, making it easy to walk to all the other famous attractions. The room was very clean, and even though I booked a mixed dorm, I was kindly placed in an all-female room. The bed was clean, with a USB charging port, a privacy curtain, a lockable locker, and a shoe cabinet. The communal bathrooms and toilets were spacious, with each shower stall having a separate wet and dry area, plus a hairdryer. I highly recommend having breakfast at the hostel; the waffle I ordered was huge, and guests get a discount. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!"

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
"I was a bit worried after seeing some negative reviews, but it turned out to be excellent. First, the location is only a few minutes from the train station; you just exit the ground floor and walk for three minutes. The front desk staff and cleaning crew were all very friendly. I arrived ten minutes late for check-in, and they even offered me a hot drink from the bar next door. The room was spacious, and there was a large complimentary bottle of water every day. Calton Hill is a three-minute walk if you turn left when you exit the main door, and a five-minute walk to the Scott Monument and the '网红桥' (famous Instagram bridge) if you turn right. A M&S supermarket is also not far. It's definitely worth staying here."

"The room was clean and quiet, and they even added a portable air conditioner for the summer. It's conveniently located, with a M&S supermarket nearby. You can easily get to the city center by taking the local train, and a round-trip ticket costs £4.80 (valid for the same day)."
