Hotels in Edinburgh Old Town, Edinburgh

Aparthotel is perfectly located and near to everything. We were able to walk easily to most of the nearby attractions, with a lot of restaurants and pubs around. We booked a one‑bedroom apartment that came with a twin bed and a sofa bed, plus a small kitchen where you could cook if you wished. The room was clean, and the facilities felt quite new. Staff were friendly and helpful. Housekeeping wasn’t provided daily, so we had to clear rubbish ourselves and collect tissues or fresh towels from the front desk — not a major inconvenience. The property also had a spacious public area (used as breakfast area in the morning) where people could work or play card or board games. The only issue we encountered was with the laundry service: it was closed the night prior to the scheduled maintenance day, leaving us to carry our dirty clothes around.

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

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.

Extremely satisfied! The entire place was spotless, and the location was perfect for shopping and getting around. All the facilities were well-maintained, and the staff were friendly, polite, and responsive. Everything exceeded my expectations, and it was excellent value for money.

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.

The service was truly exceptional. My first stay was in Manchester, and the overall ambiance of the hotel was fantastic. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed it. So, when we saw that this apartment was available in Edinburgh as well, we didn’t hesitate to book it.🤩The Edinburgh Castle can be seen from the hotel’s entrance, and the street scene next to the hotel is also quite beautiful.

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.

The hotel's location is excellent, making it very convenient for getting around. The front desk service is great; they'll help you check in early if there's an available room. The room and bathroom were quite clean, but the curtains didn't block out light very well. Having to make your own bed was a bit annoying. There's a shared washing machine and dryer, which you can pay for with a card, making it quite convenient. You can also buy laundry detergent at the front desk.

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.

My second stay here Great location at a good price, in Edinburgh you will be outside most of the day in this great city so you just need a comfortable sleep at a good location which this hotel provides as it's at the tip of the royal mile and only few mins walk to Waverley bridge where you can get the airport express bus and also the train station, rooms have good Balmoral view Just avoid the corner rooms cuz they have sluggish internet connection
