Top Butterfly and Insect World Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"La ubicación de la are hotel es la mejor de Edimburgo además que la amabilidad del personal y tamaño de la habitaciones no tiene comparación"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location and services."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great spot in old town Edinburgh. Good rooms and clean"

Best Western Kings Manor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good clean property outside of the Old Town with not a lot of amenities around there. So it’s not convenient for tourists to stay there. However, it was much more reasonably priced and was clean so that’s a good trade off."

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were amazing as well as the breakfast ! Highly recommend staying at this hotel !"

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate

8/10 Good

"The place is beautiful, and our room was very good. The biggest issue was that Uber or Bolt does not pick up there. And we had to ask the hotel to call a taxi, which was really expensive (3x Uber). From Edinburgh center, ~£20 Uber and £50 taxi. Or you can go to the nearest train station for ~£15. The other issue was that there is no phone coverage in the hotel and very weak connection outside."

Premier Inn Edinburgh A1 - Newcraighall

10/10 Excellent

"Close to train station for Edinburgh"

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"The staff at the Abbey are excellent, by far the best part about the stay. Very friendly with each encounter and extremely accommodating. We had several bags with us, and they made our check-in and check-out much easier by going out of their way to support. The room itself is satisfactory; it is about what you pay for. Nothing too extraordinary, but more than sufficient for what we needed it for. Although the bathroom wasn’t terribly well maintained, and the shower didn’t drain very well. Housekeeping was great; they came regularly and did a great job keeping the room to a high standing of cleanliness. The accommodation is also quite accessible to the city centre through both the 3 and the 29, which come quite frequently. Since there is no kitchen, having a Co-Op across the road is quite handy. Also close to some nice walking trails."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Very courteous staff. Great location ."
