St Christopher's Edinburgh Original ★★★
"The location was very good but I am not satisfied with the services. You have to pay for the lock pads. I booked it through trip.com and got a very high price. I requested to cancel my booking but the hotel didn't agree."
Britannia Edinburgh Hotel ★★★
A peaceful riverside location; just a 15-minute walk to Princes Street; 10 minutes to Haymarket Station.
4 Friends House ★★
"Edinburgh 4Friends House is a wonderful accommodation with everything: location, atmosphere, and service. Located in the city center, it is conveniently located within walking distance of tourist attractions such as Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. The rooms and common areas are clean, and the calming interior will soothe your travel fatigue. The owner and staff were very kind, and the sightseeing advice and warm hospitality were impressive. In addition, the kitchen facilities are well-equipped, so it is recommended for long-term stays and those who like to cook their own meals. You can sleep soundly in a quiet environment, and the affordable price makes it excellent value for money. It is a very satisfying place to stay when visiting Edinburgh!"
Murrayfield Hotel ★★★★
"Only stayed for one night but the room had a very chill and modern vibe. There is a bus stop outside that takes you closer into the city as parking inside the city centre is quite expensive. Great for couples."
Garner Hotel Edinburgh - Haymarket ★★★
"It’s an okay stay. Compared to the rates the rooms are too small and the amenities are limited. But overall service was good and friendly"

"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.

DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh Airport
"The hotel is perfect. However, the towels are not of good quality."
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
"For over 3,000, you'd expect a lot more than a standard domestic hotel's level of service and quality. The hotel only has one elevator for ten floors, so waiting for it every time we left or returned felt like an eternity. What really got to me was how terrible the Wi-Fi was – it would connect but not load any pages, making even WeChat chats impossible. We were on the second floor, and even our own mobile data had no signal, leaving us completely disconnected inside the hotel."
Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh
"The breakfast was incredibly rich, with a wide variety of drinks, bread, sausages, bacon, cereals, and fruits – definitely filling. The location is a tiny bit out of the way, but we took the local train to the city center every day. It's a convenient 12-minute ride from Haymarket Station to Waverley Station. The room was spacious, though the facilities were a little dated. Overall, it was a good stay."
Norton House Hotel & Spa
An award-winning spa featuring an indoor pool, a hydrotherapy pool, a sauna, a steam room, a fully equipped gym, and treatment rooms. Perfect for rejuvenation, stress relief, and wellness getaways.
Kimpton CHARLOTTE SQUARE by IHG
"First, I want to thank every hotel staff member for their warm service, and especially give a five-star rating to Brian, the concierge! Brian was instrumental in making our trip a wonderful experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable, spoke seven languages, and always answered all my questions with a genuine smile. Thanks to Brian, my trip was so worry-free, smooth, and memorable!"
