Top Museum on the Mound Hotel Reviews

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

8/10 Good

"Wilde is in a great location, easy walking distance to everything, especially Grassmarket with its great dining. We had a ground floor courtyard room, which felt exposed. Also the rooms ate not sound-proofed and we heard the noise from the people upstairs. The room was nice, but could use some touch up. It worked for having breakfast in the room. The staff were nice and responded to our requests."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a pleasant surprise to be offered champagne upon check-in, excellent in room coffee availability with coffee grinder. There were snacks available in the room as well. It was nice to find a miniature gift candle at our door when we came home from the day out because we had requested Green service that day… (No need to come and clean our room). The location worked out well. The sliding wooden “door”to cover the windows gave a complete black out!"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh
