"The property worked for our family of 5 stay; however, property does not have AC which would be important in the summer. Additionally, sleeping 5 meant sharing spaces as there is only a large great room / kitchen and the master bedroom with master bath. If you need a laundry you’ll have to reserve somewhere else. The location was the best attribute of this property. It is close to everything."

Top Heriot-Watt University Hotel Reviews

Moxy Edinburgh Airport

8/10 Good

"Located next to the airport, you need to cross the road which is a roundabout that carries a lot of traffic and there is no pedestrian light for crossing - just need to be careful especially when carrying your stuff. Hotel has a young friendly vibe, breakfast starts at 6AM and has good selections, room was nice for the night. Would recommend."

ibis budget Edinburgh Park

10/10 Excellent

"Terrible hotel and stay!"

Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh West

8/10 Good

"Staff were welcoming and helpful! Rooms were extremely spacious"

Spylaw Bank House

10/10 Excellent

"David was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome throughout our stay! The breakfast each morning was delicious, and the house and room were both cosy and spacious. The location was incredibly convenient, with direct bus connections to both the town centre and the airport, making getting around very easy. Considering the price, comfort and convenience, it was excellent value for money. I would highly recommend staying here!"

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay for the most part, only iffy experience was during breakfast and one lady got a little attitude when I asked to get breakfast for the day and she just kept telling me to go to the reception desk even though I had purchased at the little stand the day before. The food for breakfast was very yummy! The only thing I wish they had was a bigger concession stand with more drink options instead of a vending machine with only about 5 sodas and Gatorade and the water that tastes very minerally."

Novotel Edinburgh Park

10/10 Excellent

"Nothing to add"

The Bridge Inn

Travelodge Plus Edinburgh Park
