Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and Helpful staff , let me checked in early . Hotel is in excellent location. Right next to the main train station .Will definitely recommend this hotel ."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed at the Alex for 4 days on a recent trip to Edinburgh. We’re from Canada and it was our first visit to Scotland so we were very excited to stay right in the thick of things. The hotel was in the perfect location, we could see the castle and were only a couple of minutes away from Victoria Street. The Apex pool and sauna were a fun little edition as well! I highly recommend."

YOTEL Edinburgh

6/10 Okay

"Our room was a bit odd. Immediately after opening the door there was a long corridor (5+ metres) before you got to the room proper. The only light switches (including for the bathroom) were just inside the door, meaning you had to track back and forth down this corridor every time you wanted to switch the light on or off in the bathroom. Worse still, the lights are on a timer linked to a motion sensor, but the motion sensor is just inside the door so every time it times out the room lights go off and you have to run down the corridor just to reactivate the motion sensor. Other than that strange design, the rooms were OK but fairly spartan. Lots of space, but no additional furniture beyond the bed and a single chair. For what we paid, it felt very poor value."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

6/10 Okay

"As of May ‘26, the hotel seems to have a fair bit of construction ongoing. Room was exceptionally overly hot on an already warm day and due to scaffolding up the outside of the building, the openable windows have been permanently closed with plexi glass. This meant that there was no way to get any fresh air in the room and it became very stuffy. I assume the AC is part of the renovation as this was not operational and the controls had been covered over with a board. There was only 1 of 3 lift working during the visit which meant waiting a long time during busy periods. All the above is a shame as the location is great, the staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel was comfy, clean and had a lot of amenities."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

8/10 Good

"Lovely room and very friendly staff. Bar was completely lacking in atmosphere with the only music from an Alexa on the bar?! Having taken a pre-auth for £0.01 (odd) I then had a demand to visit reception to pay my £111 tab the night before checkout. Not very impressive."
