The Scholar ★★★★
"Lovely clean hotel, super helpful staff. We will be back."
a&o Edinburgh City ★★
"The hostel is in a great location, very close to the city centre and within easy walking distance. The cleanliness was okay overall, I stayed for four nights, and during most of my stay the room wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. The beds were made and the rubbish was removed, but the rest of the room didn’t seem to be cleaned. However, the day before I left, I wrote a short note for the cleaner and left it near the bin explaining my concerns. When I returned, the room was absolutely impeccable. I really appreciated how quickly and seriously they responded to my feedback. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the common area is comfortable. The main downside for me was the noise from the street. There was quite a lot of noise at night, sometimes continuing until late, so this is something to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper. Overall, despite these small issues, I had a good stay and would recommend the hostel, especially to women travelling solo. I felt safe and comfortable during my stay, and I particularly appreciated how responsive the staff were when I raised a concern."
Holiday Inn Express EDINBURGH - CITY WEST by IHG ★★★
"The room and bed were both large, but the breakfast was very average. It's a bit far from the old town, requiring a bus or Uber, so I wouldn't recommend it if you have a tight two-day itinerary."
The Bonham ★★★★★
"The location of the hotel is very good ~ the hotel is clean and comfortable! Afternoon tea is also great~"
Hotel du Vin Edinburgh ★★★★
"Great location and amenities! Staff are so friendly and the deluxe room was fab !"
The Scott ★★★★
"The hotel room wasn't big, but the environment was great, and the restaurant was good too."
Dakota Edinburgh ★★★★
Peacefully located near the iconic Forth Bridges, a short train ride from Edinburgh’s city centre. Quiet yet well-connected, ideal for exploring South Queensferry, Hopetoun House, and Edinburgh’s attractions. Relaxed service, fitness centre, and on-site dining for leisure stays.
Roomzzz Edinburgh ★★★★
"The room with a view was absolutely fantastic! You could see Calton Hill and the sea in the distance right from the room. The free croissants at the front desk were delicious. Calton Hill is just a five-minute walk away, and the views from there are breathtaking. The hotel is also only a few minutes from Edinburgh Waverley train station, and having direct lift access was so convenient and pleasant. Edinburgh is a wonderful place and definitely worth revisiting. This hotel is also worth another stay!"
Malmaison Edinburgh City ★★★★
"The hotel was a bit old-fashioned, but very clean and tidy, and in a great location. We didn't take any transportation in Edinburgh; we walked the whole time. Hotels in Edinburgh are generally expensive, so considering convenience and comfort, this hotel offered excellent value for money."
