8.7 (160 reviews)

St Christopher's Edinburgh Original ★★★

📍 9-13 Market St, Edinburgh

"The location was very good but I am not satisfied with the services. You have to pay for the lock pads. I booked it through trip.com and got a very high price. I requested to cancel my booking but the hotel didn't agree."

Britannia Edinburgh Hotel
7.2 (377 reviews)

Britannia Edinburgh Hotel ★★★

📍 69 Belford Rd, Edinburgh

A peaceful riverside location; a 15-minute stroll to Princes Street; 10 minutes to Haymarket Station.

4 Friends House
9.6 (82 reviews)

4 Friends House ★★

📍 106 Ferry Rd, Edinburgh

"First of all, I want to thank the staff. His service attitude is very good. He almost replied to messages in seconds. He also tried his best to meet our needs. The sanitation of the room is also good. Shampoo and shower gel are provided, and there is a bathtub🛁. Everything is satisfactory, except that the location is on the street. When the car drives by, there will be some noise. You may need to wear earplugs to ensure the quality of sleep. But the price is cheap, I am very satisfied"

Murrayfield Hotel
9.2 (41 reviews)

Murrayfield Hotel ★★★★

📍 18 Corstorphine Rd, Edinburgh

St Christopher's Edinburgh Original ★★★
"The hygiene was absolutely terrible. In the afternoon, while I was resting, the housekeeping staff was incredibly loud and threw the blankets and other items on the floor, which was very unsanitary."

Britannia Edinburgh Hotel ★★★
"The hotel is about a 30-minute walk from Princes Street, which is a bit of a trek from the city center. Edinburgh reminds me a lot of Chongqing, with all its hills and slopes – it's quite exhausting going up and down, so it wouldn't be ideal if you have a lot of luggage. However, the room itself is spacious, and they offer free luggage storage."

4 Friends House ★★
"Edinburgh 4Friends House is a wonderful accommodation with everything: location, atmosphere, and service. Located in the city center, it is conveniently located within walking distance of tourist attractions such as Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. The rooms and common areas are clean, and the calming interior will soothe your travel fatigue. The owner and staff were very kind, and the sightseeing advice and warm hospitality were impressive. In addition, the kitchen facilities are well-equipped, so it is recommended for long-term stays and those who like to cook their own meals. You can sleep soundly in a quiet environment, and the affordable price makes it excellent value for money. It is a very satisfying place to stay when visiting Edinburgh!"

Code Pod – the Court - Edinburgh ★★★★
"It was relatively clean. Other guests' belongings in the room were a bit messy, but there were lockable lockers. The front desk staff were also very welcoming, and there's free WiFi. It seems like you can also participate in activities at the hostel. The bathrooms and everything were quite clean. Someone snored at night, so my sleep was just okay."
