"The property worked for our family of 5 stay; however, property does not have AC which would be important in the summer.

The location was the best attribute of this property. It is close to everything."

Top Gillis Centre Hotel Reviews

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This property is excellent! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is excellent and a nice place to unwind. Our room was very nice with plenty of room and a terrific view of the castle. The location was excellent as it’s in walking distance to the train station and public transportation. We will definitely stay here the next time we visit Edinburgh!"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable beds, helpful staff."

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The check in process went relatively smoothly. The room was clean and minimalistic which I like. The bathroom has a glass walls so a fair warning if you are sharing and worried about privacy."

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

8/10 Good

"Room was small but hotel is in a great location and staff were lovely."

PREMIER SUITES Edinburgh Fountain Court

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean rooms and kind staff. Everything you need for a great stay in Edinburgh. Great pubs nearby and only a 15-20 minute walk to the castle!"

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."

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."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"First Class experience from start to finish! The Virgin company, hands down, knows what they are doing when it comes to travel and hospitality, coming from someone who was once an executive of a 5 star luxury brand. Virgin Edinburgh was such a vibe. The whole aesthetic is sexy, sultry and ever so inviting. You are immersed in intrigue at every turn with the eccentric decor and vibrancy of color throughout the hotel. The staff, First Class from the moment we were greeted at the door, to check-in, the bar and each restaurant, to the housekeeping staff, excellence every step of the way. This brand does not miss a beat. We were celebrating two momentous occasions; 30 years married and my 50th Birthday and the thoughtful gestures extended were immensely appreciated by both myself and my husband. The hotel manager, unfortunately I didn’t get his name, even went as far as looking through several cases of whiskey just to find the certain numbered bottle my husband was looking to purchase. That in itself, to the extra mile, was above and beyond. Throughout our stay, there were so many of these little gestures that made my heart pitter patter and solidified my loyalty not only to this hotel in future travels but to the brand itself, Virgin. This company knows what personality makes the brand successful. Perfect location! Near Royal Mile & Victoria St. It’s on the higher price point but you get what you pay for. Book it! You won’t regret it!"

The Hoxton, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Hotel was easy to find, staff were all exceptional and rooms were clean. Things to be aware of…they have rooms in the main building and rooms in the building across the street. Buildings are secure and safe, however you cannot take drinks across the street so if you want a glass of wine in bed it’s not possible. Also parking is about a10-15min walk from the hotel."
