Top Greyfriar's Bobby Hotel Reviews

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"My room was a little hard to get to through some winding corridors, but it was large and very clean and quiet. The hotel location is perfect."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location next to Train Station and Edinburgh Gin Distillery"

Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"A great location within easy walking distance of just about everything you want to visit within Edinburgh."

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"We recently visited the yotel Edinburgh and it was brilliant. From entering on our first stay we were made to feel welcome. Although we were informed we could not check in till 3pm we were given our room keys on checking in at 1pm. The room was spotlessly clean, bright and warming. We were pleased with the hotel as we were returning after our 3 day tour. Our only criticism was they ran out of beer through the pump and had to get bottles on our 2nd visit"

Stay Central

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and great location. Room was so spacious for my family! Loved it!"

Fraser Suites Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The property was amazing and has even more amazing staff. We got there early and were accommodated were warmly. Domnik at the front desk was very helpful."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, great location just off the Royal Mile"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel in the heart of Grassmarket. It’s noisy during the Fringe Festival but so is the whole area. Would stay there again and I am next week."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff at the front desk were incredibly helpful, and friendly, however lugging suitcases up 82 stairs and a 5min walk from the carpark to the hotel was rather off putting. So we left suitcases in the car. The hotel itself was very clean and well presented, and the room was very clean and spacious, though having twin beds fully made but pushed right together was a new one for us. We specifically chose a bath option, but the overflow on the bath was so low, it made having a nice soak impossible. The bathroom had some black corners, but otherwise it was clean. The room itself was rather stuffy, even with aircon, but thankfully you could still open windows, even on the higher floors. The breakfast was fantastic! Everything presented was delicious, and had so many different options to suit anyone. Though my partner wasn't overly happy with his coffee (att. coffee connoisseurs) Overall it was a nice place, comfy beds, black out curtains and good service."
