Top Waterloo Place Hotel Reviews

YOTEL Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Good location. Great staff. The rooms were a little weird. Not much lighting, small and the sink, toilet and sink were all divided. But all in all, this is a good hotel to stay in while visiting Edinburgh. Here's what I would like to see added: a concierge (this is a 4 star hotel so that is a must), a real lobby and an actual chair to sit in in the rooms."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Hotel was nice, clean, and comfortable"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Hotel was very clean. Staff were welcoming on arrival and had no other interactions after check in. I booked a room with a view on Expedia and thankfully, that’s what we were given. I think the price was very high compared to my other BnB bookings on this trip. The hotel is in a very central location to the Royal Mile in Old Town. Very convenient location."

8/10 Good

"Great location close to everything."

"Friendly staff, front desk was very helpful taking our backpacks and putting them in storage as we arrived early in the morning. We stayed in one of the windowless rooms but it is decorated with a curtain that makes look like there is one. Room and bathroom were very clean. AC worked fine. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good. Definitely would stay again."
