Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

We will definitely stay here the next time we visit Edinburgh!"

"Good location, good value for the money"

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"10/10. I stayed from Oct 7-13 in a superior suite because I didn’t want to share my space. It was absolutely amazing. The hostel as a whole was clean, cute, and safe. As a female solo traveler, safety was my main priority and I felt secure throughout my whole stay. The room was cute with an amazing view of St Giles Cathedral. I didn’t venture to the common shared spaces because my itinerary was full but the areas I did visit like the cafe and bar, I enjoyed. The location was perfect. On the Royal Mile. Close to many shops and restaurants. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend his hostel."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Good stay - excellent spot right on the Royal Mile. Studio was a good size and so handy to have fridge, cooking facilities, iron and ironing board etc. Didn't realise whsn booking that the bed was actually a sofa bed and it was pretty comfortable so would probably look at a bigger apartment next time with a proper bed. The water pressure in the shower was also awful. Overall a decent stay, good facilities, great spot and discounted NCP parking."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was close proximity to your needs and wants. If you are there for a day and just needed some rest every thing was right there."
