Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile
"We stayed in an apartment, was really happy until we got back to our room at 10.30pm to a freezing cold room. No heating! And it’s was at least -3 outside. Rang down to reception to be told they would reset the heating?! After 30 min I rang again and let them know that hadn’t worked, they sent up some extra blankets at 11.30pm. Not really acceptable, as we were cold all night and morning and It really spoilt the experience and being out in the cold all day to then come back to a cold flat wasn’t very nice. I spoke to the manager in the morning who offered to refunded the cost of our breakfast and apologised and said there was nothing they could do as there is no maintenance on weekends ?! Not good enough really. Wouldn’t recommend."
Destiny Student - Holyrood (Brae House)
"We needed somewhere central to explore the fringe festival that didn't break the bank, this ticked all the boxes! The 24hr reception was a godsend, so we got there early doors & put our bags in reception for a fiver & didn't check in until midnight so that we didn't miss any planned shows having to come back & check in at 3pm. Student dig rooms so obviously not too spacious, but suited us fine, only complaint would be the heat, extremely warm in the room, but leaving the window open means you here the trains all night so not ideal.Fans were available to hire at reception though in case our become too much, which or didn't for us thankfully."
Holiday Inn Express EDINBURGH - CITY WEST by IHG
"Holiday inn as usually, they rooms are always clean and well kept. Opposite the hotel has a shopping areas with Burger King. There is also a 24hrs petrol station down the road incase u arrival late for check in or u are hungry for a snack. Road will be quite packed during the peak hour. Walking to dean village is about 30min"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh
"The bar is amazing and the design of the hotel is also so great"
Travelodge Edinburgh Central
"Great location, not the best shower/bathroom (really could use a exhaust fan) and the heater would just turn on randomly and be way too hot in the room."

Holiday Inn EDINBURGH by IHG
"One of the worst experience ever! 09:30am house keeping knock despite the “Do not disturb” sign! Soft Pillows Alert! No support to your neck at all! The room was quite dirty, the toilet weren’t clean. The bed though is firm and good for my back. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone, unless they just want a room next to the zoo. P.S. the chinese translation sign on just only one notice in the bathroom is weird. To look around the room, we could only find one sign with chinese translation, this maybe a potential discrimination case. Just a head up to anyone who may be offended before they book the stay."
