"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 The Links Hotel Reviews

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I love the location of this hotel for easy access from public transport as well as walkability to cafes, pubs, and Old Town. The rooms are perfect sized."

The Hoxton, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Everything exceptional, apart from needing an iron. None in the room, have to request them now, but they take 15mins to arrive. Except it didn't. Rang reception, an apology, but "i will.message housekeeping again". Still no iron 40 mins later . Turned up too late to use it. In their defence when we got back to the hotel later, they sent a hand written card and a big bar of chocolate for the inconvenience. Nicely sorted. However, why not put irons in rooms any more."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Very centrally located. Right in the middle of it all. Longest walk was to Holyrood, 18 mins. Edinburgh castle was 12 mins. Right across from the Scott Monument. Waverly Starion is a 2 mins walk and you can get anywhere from there. Hotel was quiet, restaurant was good. Friendly staff. If you love tea, they have a tea menu at the restaurant. Recommend trying just for the experience."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"The first thing you should know is there are 2 Ibis hotels one street away from each other. That caused me confusion throughout my trip when calling Ubers or taxis. The location is excellent, within walking distance to many attractions, restaurants and shops in the old part of the city. It is within walking distance from the train station however if it's raining or you have a lot of luggage, it is a tough walk. I would recommend an Uber or taxi. The front desk staff is on duty 24 hours a day and they were helpful in getting an early check in and calling taxis for me. The lobby is very small but functional. I had a twin room as I was traveling with a friend. The room is small and the bathroom is the size of a phone booth, but there were areas for storage and a full length mirror in the room. The room had a hair dryer but no electrical outlet that I could see in the bathroom. But their was an outlet near the full length mirror so it was manageable. There is a coffee shop with muffins, croissants, pastries right next door which was convenient."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is on a flat part of Grassmarket. The Saturday outdoor market is right across the street, as is the hop- hop-off bus and at least 6 pubs and some simple eateries. Victoria street is a 3 min. walk. I loved the location. The hotel is well maintained and you can get lots of towels or tea from the cleaning staff, who are always around. If you want the hotel pub or pool, you’d have to go to the sister Apex hotel. I liked the quietness of this one. Only problem is the corridors and rooms were too hot for my liking(went in autumn)."

Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Ideal hotel for any concerts at Usher Hall. Breakfast was very nice as was the evening nibbles and wine included in our room price. Staff at both these eating times were lovely and went out of their way to look after us. The disappointment was in the room. My husband found a pair of paper pants in one pocket of his robe and the empty packet for them in the other- this made as feel that the robe had not been washed. In addition to this there was one packet of shortbread for the two of us and the hanky box only has a few hankies. We did report the robe as felt this really was unacceptable. We were given an apology. Would we return? Not very sure we would given the robe scenario and response."
