"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes.

Top Museum of Edinburgh Hotel Reviews

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Excellent minimalist twin room. Breakfast was average."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel is unbeatable. Right by the train station and all the attractions are within a 15-20 minute walk. The staff are great as well, very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The only downside was the bathroom in our room. It’s just not a great design. Wouldn’t stop me from coming back though!"

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Clean comfortable good location. Everything you need🤗"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was close proximity to your needs and wants. If you are there for a day and just needed some rest every thing was right there."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"First Class experience from start to finish! The Virgin company, hands down, knows what they are doing when it comes to travel and hospitality, coming from someone who was once an executive of a 5 star luxury brand. Virgin Edinburgh was such a vibe. The whole aesthetic is sexy, sultry and ever so inviting. You are immersed in intrigue at every turn with the eccentric decor and vibrancy of color throughout the hotel. The staff, First Class from the moment we were greeted at the door, to check-in, the bar and each restaurant, to the housekeeping staff, excellence every step of the way. This brand does not miss a beat. We were celebrating two momentous occasions; 30 years married and my 50th Birthday and the thoughtful gestures extended were immensely appreciated by both myself and my husband. The hotel manager, unfortunately I didn’t get his name, even went as far as looking through several cases of whiskey just to find the certain numbered bottle my husband was looking to purchase. That in itself, to the extra mile, was above and beyond. Throughout our stay, there were so many of these little gestures that made my heart pitter patter and solidified my loyalty not only to this hotel in future travels but to the brand itself, Virgin. This company knows what personality makes the brand successful. Perfect location! Near Royal Mile & Victoria St. It’s on the higher price point but you get what you pay for. Book it! You won’t regret it!"
