Hotels Near St. Mary, Star of the Sea in Edinburgh

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.

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.

True, this place had an outstanding location, easy check in and out, close to everything, a great place to be based if you are out for almost the entirety of the day. I would describe the rooms more like upgraded sleeper pods, very clean but difficult to maneuver for two people with anything more than a medium size rucksack each, T.V. wet room, no windows, and one plug socket. I'm sure there's a whole slew of optional upgrades but this is what I had and I can accept all this as this is what you pay for or more accurately; dont pay for. To be honest I like the forward thinking and minimalistic take on hoteling. However what I found unacceptable is the almost non-existent soundproofing, I'm sure the hotel will claim its within certain limits but if I'm hearing the guy next door yawning and the floorboards in MY room creak when they walk around then something's not alright. I'm sure easyhotel will respond with ”this is aimed at a certain type of traveller etc.” And I believe I am that type of traveller, all I wanted was a good night's sleep, it didn't happen.

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.

We travelled to Edinburgh with a team of 22 teenage girls representing our county at a Gaelic football tournament and the staff and management of the Village Hotel were amazing from start to finish. The location, although out of town, suited our purposes as we could walk to our sports venue. As we were a large group we booked through the dedicated Village Hotel sports desk team, Jessica and Louise, who were fantastic and the made the process trouble free. We arrived an hour later than planned due to delayed flights but reception had all our room keys ready, rooms pre-allocated by name so we’re knew exactly where each girl was and all the rooms were together - very useful when you have 22 teenagers to corral! The sports desk organised a pre-ordered meal for our arrival on the Friday night which was carried out seamlessly by the restaurant and our late arrival was not an issue. The food was fantastic and each order was delivered correctly. We had parents who had driven up to Scotland through torrential and the restaurant staff kept them a meal and had them served before they had their coats off. Absolutely faultless service from the check in staff and everyone in the kitchen and restaurant. The sports desk team also organised a buffet for our team on the Saturday night. We expected the usual chips, chicken nuggets, burgers etc but there was also mini toad in the holes that weren’t mini at all, chicken breast, potatoes, veg, salad, pasta, desserts, fruit, plenty of water and juices and teas and coffees for us exhausted coaches and assistants. A special mention to the chefs, Chris and George who went far and above expectations and looked after us all amazingly. Another faultless service from everyone in the kitchen. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was brilliant. Plenty of everything and enough choice for the fussiest of teenage girls - nobody went hungry. Our rooms were clean and warm and all the twin rooms had 2 double beds which was a huge luxury for our girls. All in all, the Village Hotel was the perfect venue for our group and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you to the management and staff for making what could have been a nightmare trip a breeze.

The hotel only check in at 4:00pm. only at 4:00pm... many guests arrive in the day time and wait for a long time for check in..... long long queue. The staff gave me a wrong room with no window, that is very narrow, which I have reserved a standard single room with a queen bed. the room with no window, no wifi, no network...and seems that I cananot breath in the room... and I have to go back to the lobby again ..... the door card is not that good... I have to go to the reception to activate the card every day...yes. .. every day... sometime, I found out that when I tried to open my room door...but it failed... and I have to go back to the lobby again.... it is quite annoying. The location is OK. with bus to the airport and the tram and bus station nearby. The breakfast is good, with plenty of choices. The food is the same every day.

Hotel was located a little off from central but there are buses to get around anywhere. Room was great and comfortable. Would be better if there was bottled water and toothbrush provided.

Hotel is actually much nicer and brighter than the photos on the website suggest. Reception was pretty much none existent and the shower was no more than a trickle. On the plus side, good value for money and great location yo walk into the city centre. The option of breakfast would have been good although the excellent Wee Cafe just up the road did an excellent eggs benidict which more than made up for it. I will definitely stay again mainly due to the location

Stayed here for two nights over the bank holiday weekend in August 2022. I'm guessing the price was high because of the fringe and it being a bank holiday weekend. The hotel was bright and breezy. no tea making facilities in the room. No hair dryer, limited storage, no draws. There was tea making facilities in the reception that were free and always available. Breakfast at the hotel was continental and £7.50 each. Quite reasonable for the offering of cereal, pastries, yoghurts, juice, ham and cheeses. Nice location opposite the tram station.

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).
