Top Heriot-Watt University Hotel Reviews

ibis budget Edinburgh Park

8/10 Good

"L’hôtel est près du tramway et seulement quelques kilomètres de l’aéroport. Le déjeuner continental est bien garni et disponible tôt le matin. La chambre est petite mais très propre. On peut laisser nos bagages en consigne et aller visiter Édimbourg. Nous avons apprécié cet hôtel."

Hampton by Hilton Edinburgh Airport

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, all was as expected. Absolutely miserable woman tending the bar - not customer oriented and restaurant order process was confusing as there are no wait staff and QR code for ordering in menu does not work . Aforementioned bar tender bluntly told us this when we told her we could not get it to work. Have to order food at bar but no signage or direction to do this was posted."

Moxy Edinburgh Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great for a night"

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"."

Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club

10/10 Excellent

"Property was gorgeous and staff was helpful and friendly"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 4 nights in September. The hotel was very clean and the staff very helpful. Parking was plentiful though it's important to register the car rego to avoid fines. The hotel is conveniently situated with a 5 minute walk to a shopping centre with a M&S and a Morrisons for groceries and a variety of other shops. Across from the shopping centre is the Gyle tram stop with a 20 minute ride right into Princes Street. The room was very spacious and comfortable though the air con was rather loud."

Novotel Edinburgh Park

10/10 Excellent

"Always an amazing stay here"

DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh Airport

8/10 Good

"An inauspicious start, we had to wait over two hours to get a room, and then once we were in, the bathroom sink wasn't working properly. But the front desk staff, including Kenneth, Elly and especially, Erin worked above and beyond to rectify the situations. They accepted the problems as their own and got things working properly. (9.21.2026)"

The Bridge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My stay was peaceful and relaxing! The Bridge Inn is the perfect spot to book after flying in to Edinburgh. Just a short skip from the airport, welcoming staff, delicious restaurant and extremely comfortable room/bed! I slept like a baby and enjoyed everything about this quaint little spot after a long day of travel. Wonderful!"
