Moxy Edinburgh Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great hotel! My son thought the bathroom was a bit small but I thought it was perfect. Everything you need within arm’s reach. The staff was super helpful and the food and bar were great! We didn’t expect such good food at an airport hotel. Finally the short walk to the terminal was perfect. So convenient! And there is an great airport bus you can catch across the street to get to the center of the Edinburgh. We would stay here again!"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really loved this hotel due to its proximity to all the main areas and the views to the castle were incredible. Try to get a 4th or 5th floor room and an odd number for the best views of Edinburgh Castle. Restaurants were on the street below and plenty of choices. Keep in mind there is no a/c but that’s common. Staff was excellent and room was cleaned each day. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"The location is perfect! Everything is 5 mins walking!!! We got a nice room with two double beds and nice view. A special thanks to Edwin!!! He was the star of the show!! My brother is in wheelchair and he assisted us in a very friendly way in everything!! Made our stay memorable!!! Thank you ;) we will definitely recommend this hotel"

Staycity Aparthotels, Edinburgh, West End

10/10 Excellent

"The Staycity in Edinburgh was in a quiet location, close to bus service and a couple of blocks from a Tesco grocery store. The onsite staff were top notch and helpful in every way, with washing machine pods for sale, as well as coffee pods and a few other drinks and such. The room was modern style and fairly spacious. The bed mattress was quite hard for our liking, but since it was warm out (no AC in the suite, but they provided a fan), we pulled the comforter out of the cover and put it down on the mattress, which helped. There was a storage closet, very roomy bathroom with towel warmer/drywer rack, full kitchen. We would stay here again. "
