"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 Museum of Edinburgh Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"The rooms are not as big as they appear in the pictures, our reservation was for a king size bed, it was a queen, but the rooms were clean"

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

8/10 Good

"Great location and helpful staff"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really comfortable room in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. We loved our stay overall and thought the staff at reception and throughout the hotel were great. The only thing I’d say is that the minibar replenishment was intermittent. While it was supposed to be refilled every day, we found that wasn’t the case, and finding a solution wasn’t straightforward when flagged with reception."

W Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The W was outstanding from arrival to departure, the staff were excellent, rooms spotless, we loved our stay and will be back."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Food and beer are great! Super friendly staff and our room was very clean!"

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was very speedy. Room was nice with small kitchenette with dishes. Studio room bed is either a Murphy bed or pull out couch so bed was average. Pillows were nice. Rooms fairly sound proof. Location of this hotel is top notch and would stay again based solely on that."

Holyrood Aparthotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good central location, friendly and helpful staff. Everything we needed"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Super helpful staff, lovely breakfast. Perfect location"

BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay. Excellent breakfasts. Comfortable room. Free drink for not needing our towels to be washed :) our dog was also made to feel very welcome. Thank you!"
