Top Museum on the Mound Hotel Reviews

YOTEL Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Great location and the staff are very helpful. Our room was cleaned a bit later than we hoped as we rushed out in the morning (around 9:30am) when we saw the cleaning staff a couple of doors down but sadly when we came back around 2:30pm still wasn’t cleaned. Was cleaned about an hour later tho’ - so no big issue at all. We have stayed many times and will again."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel and great location. Visiting in September, our room on the top floor was too warm, and we heard another woman on a lower floor asking for a heater. Staff tried really hard to help and we ended up with a window open—which means you get all of the sounds of a busy city. Still, a really nice place."
