Top Greyfriar's Bobby Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Incredible view of the castle from our room. Staff were very helpful and kind. Close to restaurants and coffee shops. Room was starting to show some wear."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The view of the castle/monument/Old Town from the balcony was absolutely stunning. The rooms were clean and comfortable - a firm bed, but I slept well every night. The restaurant in the hotel was new and really wonderful as well. The location is so convenient for the trains/bus/trams/ etc. We will absolutely be back!"

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were clean and spacious. The beds were able to raise the head, allowing it to be converted into a couch. It was a nice feature! I liked that the hotel was outside of the busy center of town but was easily walkable to most of the touristy destinations. My only complaint would be they had a small fridge-like appliance that had stickers advising it is not for keeping food or medicine cold. In fact, it was not cold at all! In that case, I feel it would be better to have the rooms without these appliances! It just takes up un necessary space."

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent accommodation, great mix between hotel and apartment where it feels extra private and you're left alone but with helpful staff (and a drinks/snacks bar) on hand downstairs. Living space is compact yet spacious, offering a kitchen/breakfast area with everything you need. Very clean and good quality appliances and products. We had a lovely stay and will definitely use again. Location was great too, very central and right where we wanted to be. Thank you!"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel, the location, and the scenic view from my room was spectacular. The front desk staff Natasha, Zoe, and "Red" were impeccable with their kindness, professionalism, and recommendations for food. I had the time of my life. Thank you for being a part of my adventure. ❤️"
