Apex Grassmarket Hotel

"The hotel was in a Great location for site seeing & walking around, the breakfast was very good. There are lots of restaurants nearby. Our room was hot- no AC, which I don’t remember seeing this mentioned when I booked online."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Overall, this was a great property to stay at if you are visiting Edinburgh for the first time. Located within walking distance of public transit and many of the popular sights, making it a convenient choice. Stay didn’t blow me away, but was good enough to meet our needs. Towels and sheets were changed daily, which was nice, but sometimes appears to be dirty (specks of black on towels and sheets). We requested a quieter room, which seemed to help reduce noise."

"Amazing stay and location."
