ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were all so kind and helpful. Great location, just blocks from the start line of the marathon. Walk everywhere and plenty of food options. Would stay again!"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Location is excellent. 1 minute walk up some stairs and you are in the Royal Mile. Hotel was well maintained, but undergoing some construction, presumably to improve the landscaping which would be nice. One of the elevators did not work for the 3 days we were there which caused a wait a couple times. Overall, if the construction was completed and the elevator was working, it would have been very good."

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"In general this was a great place to stay. Right across the street from Train station, buses and tram with good options for dining nearby. The room, while small was very nice and comfortable except for the bed which was made of some kind of material that left me sweaty by the middle of the night. Weird. Also, I am a senior solo traveler and the stairs from the entrance to the reception desk where very steep and there was no alternative i.e elevator or ramp to use for accessibility when pulling a suitcase. I didn't try the breakfast but the 24 hour coffee and tea were real good quality and piping hot. It was more expensive than I wanted but the proximity to all the public travel options was a huge plus for me. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I would stay there again"
