"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes. We did have a mix-up with our booking, as the room was reserved for three people but didn’t have a sleeping option for the third guest. However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

Top Scottish Gems Hotel Reviews

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location was excellent. Breakfast was nice. Staff friendly. Would stay there again."

Old Waverley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We are really glad that we started in Edinburgh with the Old Waverly hotel. The staff was helpful and friendly, the food was amazing, and the location was spot on. If you look into parking ahead of time, you can book it online and use their discount code. It's about a ten minute walk, but it's manageable. Just make sure to drop off your suitcases prior to avoid hauling them up to the hotel. With all that being said, definitely would recommend staying here. We absolutely are glad that we did and plan on returning. Thank you to the staff for being extremely helpful during our stay."

Market Street Hotel

"I"

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Great location, quiet, and easy check-in. The staff were polite and professional. The stay was pretty pricey but it's Edinburgh. I would stay again if I were to return."

Stay Central

8/10 Good

"My husband and I enjoyed staying at Stay Central. It was in a great location, about a 5 minute walk from the Royal Mile. My only complaint is that when I asked for more pillows (there were 4 in the room), they said they ran out and none were available. Given this is a 4 star hotel, I find that a bit off and disappointing. Other than that, the staff were friendly and helpful"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"All was excellent! So clean and charming. Excellent location. Staff is very welcoming, helpful and attentive. Would recommend."
