Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous staff. Great stay."

Old Waverley Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location within short walk to Waverly Station…also close to Old Town and the Royal Mile…but the walk is up very steep streets and not for anyone not in good waking shape…the hotel itself was comfortable but being right on the busy Princes street had noise and light spilling into our room 24/7…the hotel itself is old and has that nostalgic feel…but it is not a 4 seasons if you expect 5 star accommodations…but the price/night reflects these mild concerns…the bathrooms were modern and very clean…beds were very comfortable and linens were new and clean…i tend to travel on a budget so this was a perfect spot for me…for those that have never been Edinburgh is literally one big hill and it seems no matter which dorection you go you are traversing pretty steep streets so just be warned…but the city is a unique experience as it feel like going back in time…highly recommend Old Waverly Hotel and Edinburgh as a whole"

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay here. The room and bathroom were very clean and the amenities were excellent including tissues and face washers. There was no noise heard from other guests so sound proofing is excellent Breakfast was a good range of foodstuffs. The staff were wonderful and extremely helpful. The hotel was a great location for accessing transport on buses to the airport, trains from Waverley Station, and the main bus station for Rabbies tours. Plus Hop on Hop off buses stopped across the street. This is a very popular hotel for large groups so the foyer can get congested sometimes but the hotel caters well for groups and the restaurant area has sections, so one can easily find a quiet spot to eat. I would stay here again."
