Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely space"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Very clean and beautiful hotel in a central location. Our room was beautiful, but just be aware that although we got a junior suite, the bathroom was split into 3 parts w the sink and mirror area in the room! Then, there was a door for the shower, and a door for the toilet. I didn’t like not having 1 bathroom. Everything else was great!"

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and comfy for the 3 of us. Toilet lacked more toilet roll for the amount of people in the room. And we did find a pill and a sock under kne of the beds, so the cleaning should be taking care of a little more. But overall very nice, staff was so helpful and very kind and made our stay very very pleasant. Also not so far from the city centre of Edinburgh as you have a lot of buses to take you there."
