Highfield Guest House

Newington

10/10 Excellent

I spent quite a while looking for the best combination of location, reviews, appearance, price and convenience and must confess to having been a little sceptical of the high scores I found at such a modest cost. But I found that they are totally justified. I received an upgrade on arrival and my hosts could not have been more helpful, giving me information about places worth visiting, local transport and options of where to eat etc. Walking into the house for the first time, it was clear what a...

A historic building with ornate architecture and a prominent clock tower.

The Scotsman Hotel

Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my 2nd visit to the Scotsman Hotel. This time my wife was booked for 3 nights with her elderly mother. The room was spacious, very quiet and the view onto Princes Street was breathtaking. Breakfast was first rate - a fantastic selection of breads, fruit salads, cold meats, cheeses, cereal and of course the full cooked breakfast! Can I say it is the little things that make this hotel stand out - all staff are exceptionally friendly. No visit would be...

We had an amazing stay! Lovely and helpful staff. I am very thankful! I planned a surprise for my partner as it was his birthday, soni asked if they can do it for me, they said they don’t do that but they will note of it but the staff did an extra mile and also gave us free drinks! It was simple but very special, he was surprised! ❤️ thank you so much. We will surely recommend and come back again.

The Knight Residence Apartments by Mansley

Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

Once inside, the apartment was quiet, comfortable and very well resourced. We had everything we needed for a very comfortable 3 night stay, including a supermarket next door. The welcome pack of cereals, bread, fresh juices, milk and biscuits were an added bonus. Great location, walking distance to all the sights and excellent local independent shops. You must go to Mary's Milk Bar in the Grassmarket and Lovecrumbs across the street

DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

Great location, friendly welcoming staff. The room was great with 2 double beds, only downside was one of the duvet covers was covered in holes which was only noticed once the sheets were pulled back to get in. Breakfast was okay but had better hot breakfasts in cheaper hotels. Tv signal kept clitching and rooms are not sound proofed as described as you could here room/corridor doors banging closed. Overall these were just minor issues and would definitely stay again!

Lynsey

A historic building with multiple windows and a flag, illuminated by artificial lighting.
