Apex Waterloo Place Hotel ★★★★
"This is my go to hotel when I visit Edinburgh. The hotel is situated in a brilliant location, the hotel itself is 10/10. Welcoming and polite reception, the rooms are big and the beds are very comfortable. My recent visit,the staff helped me enormously with a very loud room, to a quiet room so I could sleep and relax."
Hampton by Hilton Edinburgh Airport ★★★
"The room was clean, but the duvet for the extra bed wasn't a duvet at all, but a very firm mattress pad, which made sleeping uncomfortable."

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Edinburgh
"Great stay and the room is exactly same as pictures. Very convenient going around and comfortable to sleep"
Orocco Pier
"Great place to stay plenty around to do and great location with a sea and view of the forth rail bridge"
Holiday Inn Express EDINBURGH AIRPORT by IHG
"Walking from the car rental return at the airport to the hotel was quite convenient, but the walk itself was really dirty, full of trash. The hotel itself was pretty standard, with a typical American feel. Getting into the city was easy using the airport bus. However, the shuttle bus *to* the airport costs 2.5 pounds per person and makes several stops, so a short distance takes over 10 minutes."
Holiday Inn Express EDINBURGH - ROYAL MILE by IHG
"The room was tiny, with two beds placed right next to each other, making it feel more like a single double bed. There were no amenities provided, so you had to bring your own. I personally didn't think the hotel's location was great; although it's on the Royal Mile, it still takes about a five-minute walk, and there are no bus stops near the hotel. If you don't want to walk, you'll need to take a taxi, which adds to the cost. Staying closer to Princes Street would be more convenient."
Virgin Hotels Edinburgh
"Outstanding hotel. Never been to this establishments of Virgin group hotel. Design is so vibe. Retro, modern, clean and has the most amazing bed!"
100 Princes Street
Exclusive Red Carnation luxury hotel (2024 opening) offering bespoke Scottish interiors, unrivaled castle views, gourmet dining and a 100+ whisky bar.
InterContinental Hotels EDINBURGH THE GEORGE by IHG
An award-winning 5-star landmark offering opulent accommodations, gourmet dining, and bespoke service for discerning travelers.
W Edinburgh
"Very nice stay overall. The room in the Ribbon Building (main building) was spacious and comfortable, with a decent view from the 12th-floor rooftop — probably the best view of Edinburgh. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide range of choices, which made the mornings especially enjoyable. One downside was the room allocation process. The room we were originally assigned was different from what was described on Trip.com, and there was a big difference between the James Craig building and the Ribbon Building, which caused some delay and confusion at check-in. Service was mixed: some staff were extremely nice and helpful, while others seemed slow, a bit arrogant, and at times discriminatory toward Asians. The bars are excellent and offer a very nice view. Overall, the facilities and scenery are of 5-star quality, but the service and staff members are not yet up to the same standard."
The Balmoral Hotel
Perfect Old Town location: a 3-minute walk to the Royal Mile, 5 minutes to Waverley Station, and 10 minutes to Edinburgh Castle.
Novotel Edinburgh Park
Contemporary 4-star hotel with leisure facilities, ideal for business & family travelers.
Village Hotel Edinburgh
"For the price I paid should have been breakfast as well.. Teacups in the room were dirty. Had food and drinks at the hotel before we went to concert, wasn't impressed.. Was going to go for a swim the next morning before checking out but they wanted £25 for a cheep looking pair of shorts"
Radisson Blu Hotel Edinburgh City Centre
"The location is great, right on the shopping street and convenient to all attractions. I highly recommend this hotel. The room is warm and clean, it is convenient to travel, and the service staff is patient~"
Best Western Kings Manor Hotel
"Visiting Edinburgh was already magical, but my stay at the Best Western Kings Manor Hotel made the trip even more memorable. The hotel has such a calm and welcoming atmosphere, and after a full day of exploring the city, it was the perfect place to come back to and unwind. The reception staff were especially helpful and friendly, which made the stay even more pleasant. I would definitely love to come back again. ✨"
Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh
"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)."
Gleneagles Townhouse
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolutely exceptional stay From the moment I arrived at Gleneagles Townhouse, everything was flawless. The service was truly outstanding — warm, attentive, and genuinely caring without ever feeling overbearing. Every member of staff was incredibly gentle, kind, and professional, making the entire experience feel effortless and welcoming. The ambience of the hotel is simply stunning. Every detail has been thought through with elegance and comfort in mind, creating an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and relaxed. The rooms are beautifully designed, impeccably comfortable, and feel like a true retreat in the heart of the city. The food was excellent — thoughtfully prepared, delicious, and a real highlight of the stay. The location is also perfect, right in the center of Edinburgh and ideal for exploring the city. Honestly, everything was perfect. The service, the staff, the atmosphere — everything was super. This hotel sets a very high standard for hospitality, and it exceeded all expectations. I cannot recommend Gleneagles Townhouse enough and will absolutely be returning. ⸻ If you want a shorter version for Google/"
The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton
"To be honest, I was so angry this time. The room I booked was completely inconsistent with the room I was given. I changed the room twice. There were problems with the room. Either there was no hot water in the room or there was a problem with the faucet. The floor was very dirty and greased. This time I came to Waldorf Astoria. I am really dissatisfied and I can only be speechless with their front desk staff."
