Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice hotel in the country side. Many amenities for families and adults alike. Staff are very nice. Rooms are clean. Would 100 recommend"

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"

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and comfortable hotel. The staff was very helpful. We didn't do the breakfast but had a meal in the restaurant and the food was tasty and a good value for a hotel restaurant. The room was clean. The bathroom was a bit small but it was sufficient for what we needed. The location is convenient for sightseeing and shopping with lots of restaurants, coffee shops and stores nearby."

Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG

6/10 Okay

"The room was definitely dated and there were three of us in the room and housekeeping only ever left two towels. We had to ask for extra a few times and toilet paper. The best part of this property is the restaurant. Great food and nice staff although on the slow side and not too attentive to guests. Several times we had to find a waiter. It was also hopping with bus tour groups so super busy in the evening. Good for a short stay."

Haymarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Haymarket travel connection is so close to the Hotel. It made my adventure so easy. I could take the Tram or the 26 or 31 to princess Street to catch the 16 to get to The Shore. I enjoyed the Restaurant’s at The Shore like The Kitchin and The Ship on the Shore. They had an excellent breakfast."
