Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

8/10 Good

"Hotel is in a great location with plenty of public transport options, the room was bright, clean and comfortable, and the reception area and bar/lounge felt lovely. The whole pool area is small and feels tired but it’s a good facility to have. Was disappointed with the food - breakfast items just didn’t taste fresh. And ordered a meal on room service which tasted and felt like reheated food. Disappointing considering the cost of the stay but otherwise good."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were extremely helpful, when we checked in we were greeted by a really lovely man who was very helpful and made check in extremely easy. The hotel is in a great location and wasn’t far from anywhere. The room itself was very comfy and everything we needed was provided. Later on I went down to the bar and the staff were really helpful in providing some drinks. All in all, I don’t have any bad things to say about the hotel. 10/10 would highly recommend!"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"This was probably as good of an experience as one can expect in a hostel. The property was well maintained, including clean showers, and comfortable beds. There weee lots of amenities, including a coworking space and library. And we received 15% off at the bar and restaurant downstairs. The staff were welcoming and helpful. When I messed up my locker, the front desk attendant, Clancy, was happy to come up to the third floor to unlock it for me, for which I was grateful. It is also in a central location. I recommend it if you need a budget friendly option while in Edinburgh."

PREMIER SUITES Edinburgh Fountain Court

8/10 Good

"Within 20 minute walk of the royal mile and castle. Short walk to restaurants and other sites. Clean property, though the edges of the shower could use some bleach and a scrub if you’re very particular. Tight quarters in the bedroom. Definitely looks bigger and more luxe in the photos but overall it had what we needed. The street isn’t really busy but is incredibly noisy at night with loud vehicles."
