Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable and great location too!"

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location for access to all Edinburgh has to offer. The hotel was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The bar staff were very amenable to our requests. I was a bit bemused by the check in and check out do it yourself terminals! However staff were available if required. We didn't have the hotel breakfast, however the dining room was busy. We turned left on exiting the hotel and went to a lovely little cafe instead. I'd recommend a stay here and would love to go back"

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were great and very helpful. Hotel is centrally located and very easy to access. Hotel is very clean including the room."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The bathroom is very good, great design, everything has been thought of, but the sleeping area wasn’t great, it was so small, most of it is taken up by the huge bed frame and clunky faux marble table. We had a really long walk to our room with no lifts There was a wedding on Saturday and our room was literally next to the party! Roof top terrace is literally a terrace, you have to buy your very expensive drink from the bar and carry it yourself up to the roof terrace. Breakfast needs more variety Staff were very attentive and helpful and the location is fantastic. However it’s not worth the amount we spent per night"

NYX Hotel Edinburgh by Leonardo Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful new hotel. A"
