Top Tollcross Hotel Reviews

Novotel Edinburgh Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice bar and comfortable lobby"

Moxy Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Our first time in Edinburgh and our first Moxy stay. Great first impressions by reception staff when we found out there is a free welcome drink! 😉 We had the free drinks and more in the bar a couple of evenings and everyone was friendly and welcoming. Our room was a good size and very clean as was the bathroom. Very nice toiletries too! There is a hanging rail and grid with hooks to hang things instead of a wardrobe which I liked, and a similar shelf for the kettle etc. For info there is no room safe or fridge/minibar at this hotel. Two seating areas, a squishy chair/cushion in one corner and a footstool. Very handy as in so many hotels one of us has to sit on the bed! We both slept really well and room was a good temperature. Able to open the window too which was great for fresh air overnight instead of aircon, although the area is busy 24hrs and the noise could keep you awake. We found by the second night we were used to it though. The hotel is about 20 minutes from the station by bus or 30 to walk if you’re quite fit, route is mostly flat. We would be happy to stay here again."

Staycity Aparthotels, Edinburgh, West End

10/10 Excellent

"Great location near bus stops and a grocery store. There are several restaurants within walking distance. I liked the layout of the room. There is a vestibule area for your things, then three doors that lead to the living area-kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Very nice staff, too."

Bruntsfield Hotel, WorldHotels Elite

8/10 Good

"El hotel está muy bien: las habitaciones, el desayuno, la atención del personal y que se puede parquear en la propiedad. La propiedad está frente a un parque lo que la hace muy atractiva. Se puede ir caminando al Old Town (una caminata de unos 20 minutos). Hay que tomar en cuenta que dentro del hotel y en las habitaciones hay gradas lo que podría ser un inconveniente para adultos mayores con problemas de movilidad"
