Top Musselburgh Racecourse Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great loca"

Melville Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful and peaceful"

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was perfect! Great service and good food. The room was clean and modern."

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate

10/10 Excellent

"This was an absolutely beautiful property. Ver clean and comfortable with so much character. Breakfast and delicious and the grounds were wonderful to walk through. 10/10"

Premier Inn Edinburgh East

8/10 Good

"This is a well-located hotel on several bus routes with a handy Tesco next door. The room was clean and comfortable despite showing its age in places, and both the bedroom and bathroom were spacious. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide selection of hot and cold food in unlimited supply. However, the hotel needs a bit of an overhaul, which perhaps it's currently getting according to some posted signs. The restaurant is in a sad state overall, with carpets and furnishings very worn and stained, and badly in need of replacement. The 50-year-old steakhouse (where breakfast is also served) was hardly open outside of breakfast hours, and the bar closed at 10 on the rare nights it was actually open. Staff availability seems to be an issue, but we must say that the staff at breakfast worked hard and were very pleasant. We would return for the location and the breakfast but hope to find a refreshed hotel next time."

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"The location was convenient, near a bus stop, the space was spacious and fine to stay a day or two, and the staff was very helpful. The room and building looked to be in need of maintenance and repair."

Aynetree Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Well positioned near bus stop, quiet, staff friendly, rooms clean and modern."

2 Mins Walk from Edinburgh's Best Beach!
