"Edinburgh is very chaotic/touristy on the Royal Mile and this was right in the chaos, however, it felt very safe & the room itself was very spacious, clean & worth the price for it all. I had to contact them once for directions and they answered right away and were super helpful. It sucks there are stairs you have to carry your luggage up and the luggage room was on the first floor, very small/crowded & right next to our apartment room door, but it didn’t seem to get too loud or an issue when...

Top Royal Mile Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

8/10 Good

"Great hotel in walking distance from the train station. Lots to see and do around the hotel. Staff are lovely and welcoming. Pool and saunas are a nice way to end the day."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the location very much. My room was nice . I would reccommend!"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This room was clean, comfortable and in a perfect location. Literally walk out the door and you are in the most beautiful city. Restaurants right across the street. Easy to walk just about anywhere. I recommend this hotel."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Small room, no hot water in shower."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for 2 nights, reception was on 7th floor, our room was on floor 1 so we did not see reception after check in. The hotel is right across from the train station (Waverly) which is so nice when you are pulling several bags! The room was nice, had a sink separate from the shower/ toilet which I like. Our shower drain was poor and you had to keep turning the water off to let it drain, but using the handheld sprayer worked fine. It is so close to the Royal Mile, shops, restaurants and attractions. Would stay there again, but hopefully with better drainage!"

Britannia Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Con este precio en Edimburgo todo ha sido bien."

Old Waverley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is located almost opposite Waverley Station. It is a well maintained old building which has been modernised and decorated to a high standard. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was served in a lovely light room and was substantial. The bedroom was spacious and as it was on the sixth floor it had a great view of old Edinburgh. Would definitely stay here again."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very good stay at Adagio Aparthotel and were really happy with our experience. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The location was excellent and very convenient for exploring Edinburgh, with many attractions, restaurants, and shops within easy reach. The apartment-style setup was especially convenient for our family and made our stay more comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was well organised. Overall, it was a pleasant, comfortable, and hassle-free stay. We would definitely consider staying at Adagio again on our next visit to Edinburgh. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
