Top Tollcross Hotel Reviews

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Lovely staff, helpful and happy. The rooms are modern, beds comfy, but the shower door didn't seal so we were left with a wet floor after every shower. We'd requested a quiet room, we certainly did get one which was great while trying to beat back jetlag; but were surprised that we didn't have a window... Quite a convenient location for those who like to walk about."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Though the location on Southbridge was excellent for Waverley rail station, the surrounding area was very busy with many vulnerable people about and I felt intimidated. The hotel and lobby were quite secure with a constant presence of reception staff."

Market Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located well and I would stay here again if I needed to but would probably choose to try another hotel next time I’m in Edinburgh. The room was serviceable, quite small with little storage and the view was a fire exit stairs ( we spend most of our time out and about so not a massive issue ). My partner felt let down that the cleaning staff came to make up the room late in the afternoon after we had been out all day and we were about to start to get ready for a dinner reservation. Getting seated and served in the bar was initially easy but depending on the staff it was sometimes hard to order another round or get the bill."
