"The toilet was so high up i couldn't do a sh*t. I'm six foot tall, but when I was sat on the toilet my feet were not touching the ground. Overall, the place was pretty bleak, e.g. no mirror in the bedroom to check my outfit, only one pillow so I got neck ache in bed, no towel rail or hooks anywhere in the bathroom so couldn't hang up a towel, no hook in the bedroom to hang up a coat, no toilet roll holder. These things are not expensive to install. The bathroom floor was a bit dirty when...

10/10 Excellent

Kildonan Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great hotel the room was large and well appointed. Great location to access the city centre. A 30 minute walk or 10 minutes on multiple buses that you can catch at the bus stop opposite the hotel."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Good, some lockers werent locking properly, plugs in bunk were limited. Rather have a plug than a charging port that barely charges."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is pretty and they have sauna!"

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel and everything very clean and well maintained. Very comfortable stay. They were able to hold our bags. Would stay here again, do recommend"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for exploring old and “new” Edinburgh!! Right on the Royal Mile and less than 15 minutes to any and all the sites—- great pub restaurants immediately nearby at reasonable prices- really recommended!!"

Northumberland Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, no noise, breakfast not available, front desk staff were OK but gave no recommendations or asked if was our first time etc. Overall good experience and can recommend"

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"The staff at the Abbey are excellent, by far the best part about the stay. Very friendly with each encounter and extremely accommodating. We had several bags with us, and they made our check-in and check-out much easier by going out of their way to support. The room itself is satisfactory; it is about what you pay for. Nothing too extraordinary, but more than sufficient for what we needed it for. Although the bathroom wasn’t terribly well maintained, and the shower didn’t drain very well. Housekeeping was great; they came regularly and did a great job keeping the room to a high standing of cleanliness. The accommodation is also quite accessible to the city centre through both the 3 and the 29, which come quite frequently. Since there is no kitchen, having a Co-Op across the road is quite handy. Also close to some nice walking trails."
