Top National Library of Scotland Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"The stay was good. Location was great with view of castle. The only issue was there was a leak outside the room that leaded into the closet of the room. Was moved when we brought it up."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"Nice stay. Next to EICC (where I saw an amazing show, during Fringe). And close to everything in general. Quiet, well-secured. Cozy rooms."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Terrific place to stay in Edinburgh. Staff was professional and helpful. Centrally located (though be prepared for the hike up the steps to the Royal Mile! Clean, well-appointed. Champagne to welcome you, too! Highly recommend!"

Summer Stays at The University of Edinburgh - Campus Accommodation

8/10 Good

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel in the heart of Edinburgh! 🏰✨ The hotel is exceptionally clean, with comfortable accommodations and excellent, friendly service. The shower is amazing—definitely one of the highlights! 🚿 The location couldn’t be better, right on the Royal Mile and within walking distance of so many of Edinburgh’s main attractions, restaurants, and shops. Super central and convenient for exploring the city. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Unique room, converted police cell in Old Courthouse. Just needed a chair in the room."

The Scott

8/10 Good

"Nora who checked us in was lovely and very friendly. The room was nice and liked that it had a couple of arm chairs and a coffee table to sit at. The downside was it did lack space to put cases/ clothes. There is a wardrobe but it is so dark in that corner you need to use the torch on your phone to see in. There are also no shelves - just hanging space. There wasn’t a fridge but they did have a coffee machine but it alternated between a thimbleful hot shot or a mouthful of lukewarm coffee."

The Scholar

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel will stay again"

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice lobby and bar. Rooms standard although bathrooms generous. Would stay again"
