Hotels in Edinburgh Old Town, Edinburgh

All went well from check-in to check-out. A special thank you to Beth from Guest Relations, who made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. Her warmth, professionalism, and willingness to help made a real difference to our stay. She is truly an asset to the Wilde Aparthotels family. Thank you for making our visit even more memorable.

The location couldn't be more perfect, right in the heart of the Royal Mile, with windows overlooking the church. A crucial tip for arrival: from the train station, definitely avoid the stairs and take the main road instead; it's about an 8-minute walk. The kitchen and washing machine are fully equipped, great for preparing your own tasty meals. The bedding was excellent, ensuring a very comfortable sleep. The only minor point was the slightly low shower pressure, but that's often to be expected in an older building.

Great location as not too far from Edinburgh Waverley Station and a couple of minutes off the Royal Mile. Lots of pubs and eating places nearby. Staff very welcoming and always available. We were about half an hour early for check-in time, but our room was available for us. Sweet double room was large enough for 2 people. Hanging space for clothing with hangers included. Large desk/table with fully stocked tea/coffee station. Clean room and bedding, plus extra pillows were available. Bed was comfy, think they use mattress toppers. We stayed for 3 nights in January and the room was warm enough with the use of the heater/cooler system. Our room overlooked Hunters Square, so quite a nice view of what was going on. Small bathroom, but shower cubicle was big enough and shower easy to use. Large mirror with lighting around it in bathroom and long mirror on the wall in the room. Hairdryer in room also. Free WiFi was always available. Large flat screen TV was in working order. We had no issues with noise from other rooms or from the street outside, even though we occasionally had the window open. Key cards worked with no problems. You also have the option to ”Skip the daily clean”, which we did, but changed the towels. Corridors always smelled clean and fresh. We didn't opt in for the breakfast and didn't eat or drink in the hotel, as we ate out alot. Would definitely stay at this hotel again.

The hotel's location is super convenient, and the facilities are brand new. Breakfast is semi-buffet style; you can grab cold items yourself, and hot dishes are à la carte – and they taste great! Parking is available right next to the hotel in their private lot for £20, and you can park for the duration of your stay. Definitely recommend it!

Facilities: Very good, though the faucet still separates hot and cold water. Hygiene: Clean and tidy. Environment: Quiet all around. Service: Excellent.

Fantastic location, close to attractions, restaurants, and supermarkets, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The room was spacious and clean, with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. The staff were friendly and the stay was quiet and comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely choose to stay here again if I have the chance.

Fairly average hotel. Not worth the prices they charge. Emailed reception 3 times before arrival, not one reply. Room was nice and modern. Bed was comfy and shower was strong. Windows were only single glazed and looked over the train station which meant it was noisy even through the night. The executive lounge isnt really an executive lounge. Its just the breakfast room. Offering was fairly basic. Coffee machine didnt work much during our stay. On the lower ground floor so no windows. The old lounge upstairs was much better. Clearly cutting back on what they offer to save money. Breakfast was clearly designed for the American market. Crispy streaky bacon etc. Not what you normally get in the UK. Not the worst breakfast we've had but certainly not up to Hilton standard. Again, coffee machines not switched on so only standard coffee and tea was available, no cappuccino etc. Wouldn't stay here again. There are many hotels in Edinburgh that offer much better value for the price charged.

My trip to Edinburgh was an unforgettable experience filled with history, culture, and stunning scenery. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the city’s unique blend of old and new, with medieval architecture sitting alongside modern shops and restaurants. One of the highlights of my visit was exploring Edinburgh Castle, which sits proudly on top of a volcanic rock. The views from the castle were incredible, and learning about Scotland’s history made the visit even more interesting. Walking down the Royal Mile was another memorable part of the trip, as it was full of street performers, traditional shops, and lively atmosphere. I also really enjoyed visiting Arthur’s Seat. Although the hike was a bit challenging, the panoramic views of the city were absolutely worth it. It was a great way to experience Edinburgh’s natural beauty. The food in Edinburgh was another highlight. I had the chance to try traditional Scottish dishes, and the local restaurants offered a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, my experience in Edinburgh was amazing. The city has something for everyone, whether you’re interested in history, nature, or simply exploring a beautiful place. I would definitely recommend visiting Edinburgh and hope to return again in the future.

The location of the hotel is invincible (the house in the lower right corner of the second picture). Turn right after exiting the Market Street exit of the train station and walk for one minute. You don’t have to worry about carrying large luggage. When you cross the road, you will see Prince Street Park and Waverley Bridge (where the photo was taken). After crossing the bridge, you will see Prince Street. Turn right and walk for 15 minutes to Calton Hill. Turn right and walk for 3 minutes to the Royal Mile. There are many restaurants along the way. It is very close to the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Castle, and the Art Museum. The staff’s service is very good. When they meet people from non-English speaking countries, they will communicate with guests at a very slow speed. It is also very convenient to store luggage. There is also an airport bus at the door of the hotel.

My second stay here Great location at a good price, in Edinburgh you will be outside most of the day in this great city so you just need a comfortable sleep at a good location which this hotel provides as it's at the tip of the royal mile and only few mins walk to Waverley bridge where you can get the airport express bus and also the train station, rooms have good Balmoral view Just avoid the corner rooms cuz they have sluggish internet connection
