"Staying in an actual castle was a dream come true for this soon to be 50 year old! The room was amazing and staff were phenomenal. The food was terrific - both the basement restaurant and the breakfast room. We only stayed one night due to our busy schedule but would've loved to stay and enjoy the beautiful grounds. Price was similar to a night in a 2-3 star hotel in London, which was shocking - would've much rather stayed here!!! This was a bucket list check off for me for sure!"

"Very clean room and perfect room service"

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very friendly and helpful and hotel was up to date and clean. We had a lovely stay."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was a wee bit small but the view was beyond compare! Excellent location: Tram from the airport and Waverley Station right across the street for the LNER ride to London"

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate

8/10 Good

"A beautiful,atmospheric place to stay,giving a sense of what living in a historic Scottish country house would be like-not least how chilly it can be in the early autumn before the fires would be lit. Our stay was very enjoyable, helped by the efficient and pleasant staff. Our room was comfortable if a little out of the way up in the roof space but we would have liked more lamps, more hooks and shelves for toiletries and we did not need the large green light pointing the way out to the corridor and safety. Excellent breakfast(including haggis). Lovely grounds and building with a great library,music room,whisky bar to explore."

Aynetree Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean. Fee parking. Host is very friendly. Convenient location, close to bus stop going to the city center."

Best Western Kings Manor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good breakfast but the amenities are not modern. By the road, bus stop right across the facility. Their people are their strongest strength"

Premier Inn Edinburgh A1 - Newcraighall

10/10 Excellent

"Close to train station for Edinburgh"

Ravelston House

8/10 Good

"No reception desk so had to wander about until we got key from behind the bar which doubles up as reception. On leaving you put your key in a box outside the bedrooms and you don't aee anyone. Check out is 10am which is very unusual. Food was good. Quiz night (Thursday) noisy until 11pm."

Premier Inn Edinburgh East

8/10 Good

"This hotel was very quiet, which was wonderful. The location was decent as it was close to Portobello Beach and had a bus stop right in front of the hotel that took us directly to the Royal Mile. The price was good for what we got, would have loved if the staff was a lot more helpful rather than just pointing at their brochure board when asked questions."
