10/10 Excellent

"Very good room, staff very friendly Fabulous breakfast Perfect location in the city Very good value for money"

Old Waverley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are very clean, staff was incredibly helpful when we had questions or needed something. The view from our room was perfect for Hogmanay, even though it was a little loud (but that was to be expected with how many people were celebrating.) the only negative was it did take a while for the showers to get hot but other than that we had an excellent day and would definitely recommend!"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely outstanding stay! Had a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the Christmas market and Edinburgh Castle. It was perfectly situated. 3 min walk from the train station and 4 mins from shops. Everything was a stones throw away! Beautiful bathroom and room in general on the top floor. Breakfast was excellent and worth the money. As we were on the sleeper train, we arrived incredibly early and the hotel took and kept hold of the bags either side of our journeys! Highly recommend staying here. Could not fault the hotel, staff and service! "
