Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, friendly staff and nice accommodations. Breakfast was very good. We enjoyed dinner in the on- site restaurant one evening and food was great."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff here are very kind and helpful. The room although small was everything we needed and the bed was comfortable. Our room was at the back of the hotel so it was also nice and quiet. It was very close to great restaurants and bars and within easy walking distance to all Edinburgh hot spots. Perfect location if you’re staying in Edinburgh."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel, but the facilities need upgrading. The showers were slippery and dangerous. The room was so hot at night despite temperatures being cold for the season of travel. But the hotel was located in a great spot so I can't complain too much since I only needed it for a place to lay my head. If I was there for the hotel specifically, I might look elsewhere. Would stay again for location alone."
