Hotels Near St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral in Edinburgh

Well, what a cheerful and helpful reception staff, indeed all staff happy and enjoying the job! Great to see. 1 night stop but the hotel was cool trendy and modern. Spotless clean, quiet rooms gave a great night sleep in a comfy large bed. Shower, monsoon style, washed the dreams away and off to a decent breakfast (sausage a touch bland). Subterranean swimming and spa looked fantastic and the bar was great with quirky pool cue seating. Car park tight and only 15 slots so not easy. Other than that, yes I would come back.

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 !

I visited the W for the first time on Friday evening. From the moment we stepped through the door the experience was exquisite. We didn’t have a reservation however sitting at the bar in the upstairs lounge was wonderful. We met the lovely Sumith who educated us on everything wine related. Edson our bartender made some delicious cocktails. The experience was perfection from start to finish, I cannot wait to return!! To finish off our wonderful evening we were given access to the 12th floor, just WOW. I’ve not seen views like these in Edinburgh!!

I really enjoyed my stay at the Hilton Carlton, reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very central to everything right in the heart next to the busy bustling city centre. My room I booked was a King Deluxe very spacious, clean, quiet room my en-suite bathroom was a wet room lots of space, I found no fault with my room. I ordered the continental breakfast in the morning staff were efficient, and the buffet breakfast offered gave a lot of good quality choices unlimited hot drinks, fresh fruit, yoghurts, cereals, toast, plenty on offer. I used the express checkout box as I was leaving in the morning there was a long queue as many guests were checking out so that suited me thank you so much to all the staff I had a wonderful experience.

Stayed overnight at the Leonardo Hotel as we were hosting friends visiting from Pensilvania USA and all I can say is it was outstanding! From check in, special mention to Steve the Concierge (who diligently stored our bags and offered advice) to the welcome complimentary glass of Prosecco all of the staff were tentative and exceptionally friendly! The rooms were clean and comfortable and the restaurant for breakfast outstanding. All in all fantastic value for money and we would definitely recommend it!

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.

Hotel was clean and Quiet.Reception staff friendly and helpful Easy access to city via buses. Sea food restaurants nearby. Hotels breakfast was good except scrambled egg not to my taste.(Dry) Toilet in the room no toilet brush. Bar did not have bloody Mary.Was a bit disappointing.! The hotel staff especially Madina and Lucas went beyond to help and give good advice for first time visitors. Worth trying Holiday Inbn Express Edinborough.

The room is good, with a view at the door, which is the characteristic of the castle hotel. The service is good, the room is clean, and the space is large. The interior decoration of the room is very classic and very atmospheric.

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!

Compared with the hotels in Skye Island, this place is simply heaven. Although the breakfast variety is small, the scenery is great and it is worth staying for a few more days
