I visited Edinburgh over Easter, which was also my birthday, and had a wonderful stay. Magda was incredibly kind and arranged an early check-in before noon after I confirmed the day before. She also surprised me with balloons and chocolates in my room for my birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch. The staff provided clear information and gave excellent recommendations on places to visit, making my first trip to Edinburgh even more enjoyable. The hotel’s central location was perfect, close to all the main attractions, and the pool was a great bonus. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would happily visit again.

It was easy to find the  location, the room was in a 4 bed female room, so it was even better, bathroom and toilet is not in the room but a small basin so we can brush teeth etc. bathroom was a bit tiny as there were 2 toilets and 2 showers, but ok. The people at the reception were also very polite, check in was done easily.  Breakfast was ok, boiled eggs, toast, cheese, ham, juice, coffee, fruits, muffins, croissant, which was ok for 2 times . You can leave your bags after and before check in/out but they charge 3 pounds.

Hotel near Princes Street,Edinburgh00
QQishiwoshigelumang 2025.08.23
1. The location is excellent, like living on the Bund in Shanghai. Prince Street, where it's located, is known as the world's most beautiful street (a slight exaggeration, but it's truly beautiful), making it ideal for CityWalk. 2. The classic tomb-view rooms offer a picturesque view of the ancient tombs, which is quite captivating if you're not bothered. 3. The rooms are quite large, with kitchens and living rooms. 4. There's a laundry room. 5. Parking is available at a public lot over 500 meters away. You'll need to reserve it online, but you can ask the front desk for a discount code.

The hotel is very well located in the heart of the city center. Everything is within walking distance. It's also easily accessible from the airport. The hotel was clean, the bedding comfortable, and the room pleasant. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We were able to get our room early as it was ready, but you can also leave your luggage there for free. We didn't experience any unpleasant odors as mentioned in some reviews, but it's true that the rooms aren't very airy.

It was easy to find the location, next to high street(main Street in the center) the room was in a 6 bed instead of 8 beds female room, so it was even better, bathroom and toilet in the room is more convenient as you share with less people .the people at the reception were also very polite, check in was done easily. There is a kitchen in the ground floor with seating area, a bar , in the kitchen you can also cook with plates, cutlery, cooking pots, everything you need Can recommend and have booked it again! There is also breakfast but I didn't have it as I cooked my own.

The room and shared bathroom were very clean, and the price was great. The mattress was especially comfortable. It's not ideal if you have luggage, as there are stairs to climb, and the room had a slight musty smell, but overall it was very good, and the hot water was excellent.

I had a wonderful stay at Premier Inn Edinburgh City Centre (Lauriston Place). The hotel was exceptionally clean, and the room was comfortable and well-maintained. The location is perfect — very convenient and within walking distance to many attractions, restaurants, and shops. The staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to help, which made the experience even better. The amenities provided were excellent and met all my expectations. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this hotel, especially for solo travellers. I would happily stay here again on my next visit to Edinburgh.

The receptionist, Lisa, was lovely and incredibly nice. The accommodation is in a great location, within walking distance from the train station, which is very convenient for anyone arriving from England. It's also close to the Royal Mile and other attractions.

The hotel's location is excellent, right in a lively and convenient area. It's not far from the train station, and the walk there is quite scenic. The hotel's internal facilities are also good. Breakfast was standard and sufficient, but the à la carte items weren't particularly special. However, I did have dinner at the hotel restaurant, and the taste was quite good, with reasonable prices. Overall, I had a great stay and would choose this hotel again next time, though I hope the price could be a bit lower.

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

USXinxiyaciyuan
This Accor apartment brand is fantastic! The location is superb, right at one end of the Royal Mile, close to Calton Hill and Holyrood Palace. We stayed for three days and found it incredibly convenient for exploring every day. There's also a Tesco Express not far away, so it was easy to grab some food after a day of sightseeing. The apartment itself has a kitchen, tableware, and a dishwasher, which was very convenient.

Facilities: Though small, it has everything you need. Cleanliness: Decent, I didn't spot a single dirty spot. Environment: Not great value for money, but because of its location, it's right in the center of everything. Perfect! Service: The front desk staff were polite and courteous, not at all like those other hotels that are said to be ****** against certain groups. Surroundings: Supermarkets, Chinese restaurants, convenience stores, tourist attractions all around the hotel. A few hundred meters to the left is J.K. Rowling's café and the castle. The Milkman网红店 (Milkman internet-famous shop) is right outside, the train station is downstairs, and a bit further are Princes Street Gardens and the bridge connecting the old and new towns. Basically, everything is about 10 minutes away, except for the sunset view which is about a 20-minute walk.

This was the most expensive hotel we booked for this trip, but the experience wasn't great. The soundproofing in the room was poor, and the garbage truck dragging along the cobblestone streets downstairs was very noisy early in the morning. The hotel's location is excellent, though, right in the Old Town and close to Holyrood Palace.

All went well from check-in to check-out. A special thank you to Beth from Guest Relations, who made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. Her warmth, professionalism, and willingness to help made a real difference to our stay. She is truly an asset to the Wilde Aparthotels family. Thank you for making our visit even more memorable.

Holyrood Aparthotel

The aparthotel was in a great central location only a walk away from many attractions such as Holyrood palace, arthur's seat, Edinburgh castle etc. It is off the royal mile. There are restaurants at your door stop such as chef bako where I tried a nice street style burger and fried mars bar. The check in was easy. They provide all the ncessary cutlery, there was some milk, tea, sugar coffeez salt and pepper available in the room. You can have daily room cleaning and can also do own laundry as there was a washing machine in the room. It is quiet and not in a noisey location. Negatives: I would say the set up of the toilet wasn't the best in terms of the radiator was really close to the toilet seat so if you were a larger person, you wouldn't comfortably be able to sit on the toilet seat. There weren't any hooks on the toilet door to hand towels. No shower holders in the shower to put shampoo or soap etc. The headboard rest isn”t needed as shortens the length of the bed so your feet come off the end of the bed. These rests are not detachable. Overall with a few adjustments in the room it would be better but I would stay there again because of the location.

Posted on Jun 3, 2026|One Bed In An 18 Bed Dorm W/ Shared Bathroom (Triple Bunks)

This is a photo I took at my accommodation in Edinburgh. It was only about a one-minute walk from the station, and most of the main tourist attractions were nearby, which made getting around very convenient. The only surprise was that I didn’t realise it was a triple bunk bed when I booked it. I booked it without thinking much about the bed setup, so I was a bit caught off guard. As a result, I hit my head a few times! Other than that, everything was fine. Interestingly, the top bunk (third level) actually looked like the best spot.

THGuest User
When we checked in (around 2pm) we were given a card to a room. After making it upstairs we walked our 7 year old girl into an occupied room. This is a pretty big safety issue. We went back downstairs and was told ‘it’s because you checked in early, rather than a simple ‘sorry it’s a mistake’ which to be honest annoyed me. We were then told to come back after 3pm. We returned at 5pm and they had moved us to another room. In the morning because of the room change and possibly bad communication the staff said we had more money to pay in unpaid bills. This wasn’t the case but these cases definitely affected how we feel about the staff at this hotel. Passing that by now. Great location and comfy room. Bathroom is small but that’s to be expected sometimes

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

GBOllieS
Fairly average hotel. Not worth the prices they charge. Emailed reception 3 times before arrival, not one reply. Room was nice and modern. Bed was comfy and shower was strong. Windows were only single glazed and looked over the train station which meant it was noisy even through the night. The executive lounge isnt really an executive lounge. Its just the breakfast room. Offering was fairly basic. Coffee machine didnt work much during our stay. On the lower ground floor so no windows. The old lounge upstairs was much better. Clearly cutting back on what they offer to save money. Breakfast was clearly designed for the American market. Crispy streaky bacon etc. Not what you normally get in the UK. Not the worst breakfast we've had but certainly not up to Hilton standard. Again, coffee machines not switched on so only standard coffee and tea was available, no cappuccino etc. Wouldn't stay here again. There are many hotels in Edinburgh that offer much better value for the price charged.

Our room was a little bit smaller than we expected but I the sofa bed make it feels like that😂 It was great experience, not much spread for breakfast. Can’t decide what to eat because there is not much option for us. However, extra points for their friendly and very helpful staff. Thanks! Might stay again in future.

The location of the hotel is invincible (the house in the lower right corner of the second picture). Turn right after exiting the Market Street exit of the train station and walk for one minute. You don’t have to worry about carrying large luggage. When you cross the road, you will see Prince Street Park and Waverley Bridge (where the photo was taken). After crossing the bridge, you will see Prince Street. Turn right and walk for 15 minutes to Calton Hill. Turn right and walk for 3 minutes to the Royal Mile. There are many restaurants along the way. It is very close to the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Castle, and the Art Museum. The staff’s service is very good. When they meet people from non-English speaking countries, they will communicate with guests at a very slow speed. It is also very convenient to store luggage. There is also an airport bus at the door of the hotel.
