Hotels Near One World Shop in Edinburgh

I booked a a night within the hotel on Halloween as we had booked a walking ghost tour within the city. It was a bit of a walk down to the Royal mile taking about 25 mins but as it was dry it was ok. The hotel was fantastic, the reception staff were lovely and very helpful. The entrance lobby was warm and clean, very inviting. All of the corridors were very well maintained, clean and beautifully decorated. Our room was very spacious with a queen sized bed, seating area and a good sized bathroom. The room again was nicely decorated and well equipped. Due to the restrictions the hotel restaurant was closed but we were allowed to order food into the hotel and the receptionist even pointed us in the direction of local shops. I would recommend the hotel and will most probably stay again.

I've never stayed in a hostel before, let alone in a former jail revamped as one ! Besides the gimmick, the Court is a wonderful place to stay if you are visiting Edinburgh, whether on a budget or not : fantastic location near the St Giles cathedral (where city tours seemingly start from), super friendly staff and surprisingly clean amenities (first time experience in a hostel so I didn't know what to expect quite frankly). Would definitely recommend !

Lovely hotel only 5 minutes walk from Waverley station and in an ideal position for all the main attractions. Excellent breakfast choice. Easy check in and check out with friendly, helpful staff.

Visiting Edinburgh Castle of Light, I decided to stay overnight. Room (15) had everything needed; a comfortable bed, hot shower, a hospitality tray and clean towels. I will definitely stay here again.

The house is situated about 40 minutes walk from Princes Street. There are plenty of buses(£2) to catch and the bus stop is just opposite. We had one of the smaller rooms in the house - the room size was fine but not well laid out. There was only about 2 inches to get round the double bed to get to the other side, the sash window was very heavy and impossible to open. There was a very small couch - supposed to be a 2 seater, but really only sat 1 person. The other person then had to sit on the bed but couldn’t really see the TV and the TV was fixed. Our biggest gripe was that our room was billed with an en suite bathroom … but it was in fact down the passage way. Having not realised I would need a dressing gown this was problematic. Also there was at least one occasion when somebody else had used it. We knew before going that there was no breakfast provided so took Belvita breakfast biscuits and Scot’s porridge oats satchels that you just add water to. This worked well. Normal tea and coffee satchels are provided but not decaf or herbal teas. There is a small fridge downstairs which you can put a few bits in. The main house was decorated well and clean. We loved Edinburgh and did so many different things - a walking tour, afternoon tea at the Balmoral, a Highlands tour, Holyrood House, the castle, a whisky and gin experience, walk up Arthur’s Seat…. and one of our favourites- HMY Britannia at Leith - you can catch the team there.

We used this hotel following arrival at the airport from overseas and night prior to departure . It was ideal. Nice location, friendly staff. It was pleasant to walk around the wooded campus and neighborhoods of adjacent Herriot-Watt University. We will be back. ... I would note however, that some may feel the privacy in the bathroom is a bit compromised by the construction of the bathroom doors and side panels (opaque material which lets the light shine through, and large see-through cracks between the door and the adjacent wall - not completely private).

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. We arrived far earlier than the 3pm check-in due to an early flight, and asked on the off chance if we would be able to get into our room any earlier. Not expecting at all for it to be done so quickly! They jumped into action whilst we explored the stunning grounds & had a lovely breakfast, and within the hour we were in our room. Housekeeping had created a lovely Swan display using the towels and rose petals, with a handwritten birthday card for my boyfriend as we were there to celebrate his 30th birthday. The staff could not do enough for us, especially the very kind lady on reception who was just brilliant and the trip felt so easy and comfortable as a result. Thank you SO much for a wonderful and memorable weekend, I truly cannot recommend this hotel enough. Worth every penny and just a short uber (20-25 mins) to the city, zoo, and most main attractions. We will be back!

I am very fortunate to choose to stay here in the end, I had previously wanted to change to a hotel in the city center. The facilities of this old castle hotel are very in place. In 2008, an elevator was added so that the pain of carrying boxes to climb the building was avoided. Breakfast is very generous, in fact it is enough to eat only the buffet on its dining table. Ordered its traditional English breakfast on the first day and couldn't eat a lot of it. The room was large, the bathroom and bedroom were heated and it was very hot. Before going to bed, they had to be closed. The hotel staff are very welcoming and the service is in place. Finally, I have to say that their desserts are delicious, so try them!

This is the most fabulous place & setting for a couple of nights stay, sadly let down by staff & services. It doesn’t surprise me to see what others have reviewed. This place clearly has been & could be so much more. I’ve no doubt the pandemic has hit them hard & they are struggling to recruit enough of the correct staff. The positives: Lovely historic setting & ambience. On site Spa & Falconry. Lovely airy clean rooms. Food ok to good. Plenty of parking. Breakfast included. The negatives: Poor staffing & services. Some staff just try too hard with ‘Amazing’ & Fantastic’ in their vocabulary constantly. Probably to appease the American market. The Orangery restaurant is very poorly run. Staff do their best, albeit could work with a little more haste, they just can’t cope. Similar excuses about booked tables that are never taken! Staff are generally un-knowledgable about services & timings & things were always going wrong. We laughed most of it off & just called it Fawty Towers, what’s next? :) They could do so much more with the veranda, the bar & Orangery. Bare in mind you are out in the country & taxis can be limited & costly. To summarise - we would stay again for the right price, probably out of the Festival season. Keep doing your best guys & gals but owners beware, you need to manage this place so much better
