Top The Caves Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Jen at the front desk was extremely helpful and courteous everyone was very nice"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Our room was in the wing with views of Cockburn Street. These views were STUNNING! But don't forget anything in your room, otherwise it's a long trek back to your stuff. It took maybe 5 minutes to walk the halls to the main elevators and get out the front door. Not the end of the world, but it is something to consider. I was sad there was no iron/ironing board in the room. That was definitely a con to this hotel stay. We did not eat breakfast here, although it looked phenomenal. We did enjoy drinks at the bar later in the day and my hugo spritz was amazing. All things considered, we were happy and would stay here again."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is as described, in some cases even better. The location cannot be beat for exploring both Old Town and the Princes St side of Edinburgh. It's quiet inside, comfortable beds and well furnished units. The water pressure in the shower is outstanding and the laundry facilities much appreciated! We loved our stay and hope to return."
