Top Royal Lyceum Theatre Hotel Reviews

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"I loved everything about this property. The location is close to everything. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The restaurants serve delicious food and the bar was so fun with an incredible drink selection. The beds are beyond comfortable. Seriously the best sleep in months."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location, very clean room and nice staffs. Want to go back again."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

10/10 Excellent

"Great property that is centrally located with a friendly and professional staff. I will definitely stay there again."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Good for the price, although during the Festival it is considerably more expensive than when I tried it out for 1 night about 4 months ago. My only niggle is, could have more room in the shower, or a sliding door so one part of the area can stay dry. You will get your clothes wet from the floor when getting dressed"

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

10/10 Excellent

"We choose Wilde Aparthotels in Grassmarket at the base of Edinburg Castle for a short visit in August, the peak of Festival Season. The location was ideal, virtually all of the city was walkable from the front door. We arrived 3 hours before check-in. The staff was warm and accommodating. They stowed our luggage, then contacted us as soon as our room was ready. We selected the 1 bedroom apartment, with a king bedroom and a pull out couch in the living room. It was absolutely spotless. The three of us were very comfortable. The master mattress was firm, but comfortable. The pull out couch featured two separate single beds, which was very nice (particularly for older siblings who don't want to sleep in the same bed). The room was very well appointed, the kitchen had a toaster & electric kettle, microwave, small hob, pots & pans, and storage, even a dishwasher. There was cream in the refrigerator for tea/coffee & a selection of teas, coffee were provided. There were guest laundry facilities, a fitness center, and a small pantry for snacks & beverages. The bathroom was efficient with a stand up shower (rain head & spray hose), vanity with storage. Plenty of towels. Housekeeping was every 4 days, or could be added for a fee. Staff was available onsite 24-hours. Our room was on the first floor (2nd floor if you're American) facing the castle. If you travel in August, request a higher floor. The only issue was street noise (people, not traffic), late at night after Fringe Fest."

The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

Kimpton Charlotte Square by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Cheery staff - mostly locals which is nice to see. Beautifully decorated with comfortable surroundings. Our room was spacious with everything we needed. Had a treatment in the Spa which was very relaxing. Good choice at breakfast. Convenient location. Definitely recommend a stay here and would come back again."
