Top Leith Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Overall the hotel was good. We were lucky to be placed in a room that had a view of Edinburgh castle since the back of the hotel was under construction. In terms of cleanliness, it was fairly clean besides a small cockroach we found when eating food in our room. We had complimentary drinks which we decided to get on the day of check out and they said the bar was not open yet and the coffee machine was not working. We weren't given any alternatives. Besides that, we enjoyed our stay."

Moxy Edinburgh Airport

2/10 Terrible

"The staff at this hotel are inexperienced. When we arrived the person checked us in, passed over the keys and then took them back stating the room may still need cleaning. Food available was more like a fast food chain. Waited 45 minutes for a sandwich although the place was not overly busy. Several drink requests were made being advised that they were out of stock of items. Would not recommend staying here. The most disappointing aspect is that they are part of the Marriott chan. In comparison to the night before when we stayed at the Marriott Inverness which was excellent."

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

8/10 Good

"Its a conveniently located gotel across from Haymarket station. The stff were kind and helpful. Th rooms are small butvery clean and the beds are comfortable. I rhink it wad a bit overpriced but ot wad Easter weekend and near o city cemter so it's to be somwhat expected. My wife and I would stay here again."

Pillars House

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in pillars house for a night with my two girls. Had the room with 3 single beds and it was super cosy. Decor was a bit dated but we loved that - felt like granny’s house! Lovely and clean and great facilities in the kitchen to use. We would definitely go back to stay. Staff were lovely and friendly. Nothing to dislike. We used public transport and that was easy from pillars house too. "
