Top Scotland Hotel Reviews

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This room was clean, comfortable and in a perfect location. Literally walk out the door and you are in the most beautiful city. Restaurants right across the street. Easy to walk just about anywhere. I recommend this hotel."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"Overall I was quite happy with our stay at Point A. I’ll start off by saying the staff was wonderful and friendly and helpful. We loved our room and the bed was very comfortable. The location is great. Close to Haymarket and no more than a 15-20 min walk to all that Old & New Town Edinburgh has to offer. My one complaint that prevents me from 5 stars across the board is this. In other hotels I’ve stayed at in the UK, coffee and tea has either been available to hotel guests all day, or there has been a kettle in the room to make tea. After a day of sightseeing I wanted nothing more than to head back to my room and enjoy a cup of tea in front of the telly. Instead, I had to pay for tea in the lobby. Other than that one little thing, I’d stay at this hotel again the next time I’m in Edinburgh."

citizenM Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"I LOVE GLASGOW!!!!!! This was my first time visiting Scotland and my experience was incredible. This is a conveniently located hotel. The staff is wonderful here. The room was VERY CLEAN. I was traveling alone so it was the perfect size room for one or a couple. VERY QUIET and VERY SAFE. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Glasgow! What an AMAZING city. Thank you!!"

The Social Hub Glasgow

8/10 Good

"Great location in the city. Hotel and room was very clean, as with all hotels though, you get 4 small milk portions! Minor gripe as we like a tea and coffee or 2. Room has everything you need and is modern (signature room). Staff we met were all very friendly and helpful. I was surprised to learn that even as a resident, we were not able to buy a night cap to take to the room as it was 00.05. They obviously don’t have the license for that unlike other hotels. Would I stay here again, yes and it’s already booked"
