Top Musselburgh Racecourse Hotel Reviews

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located. The hotel exceeded my expectations, especially during Fringe!"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The bathroom is very good, great design, everything has been thought of, but the sleeping area wasn’t great, it was so small, most of it is taken up by the huge bed frame and clunky faux marble table. We had a really long walk to our room with no lifts There was a wedding on Saturday and our room was literally next to the party! Roof top terrace is literally a terrace, you have to buy your very expensive drink from the bar and carry it yourself up to the roof terrace. Breakfast needs more variety Staff were very attentive and helpful and the location is fantastic. However it’s not worth the amount we spent per night"

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"The bed was very soft and wonderful to sleep on. Also, the breakfast was great as well as the coffee. The property was a little run down as far as maintenance goes. The staff and management were very helpful and courteous."

2 Mins Walk from Edinburgh's Best Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house, tastefully decorated and in a great location for the beach. Worked great for three generations of our family, thank you Patrick!"

Melville Castle

8/10 Good

"Great location for the tattoo and touring parts of Scotland."

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate

10/10 Excellent

"Super pleasant stay with comfortable bed and seating areas. Will recommend this hotel to others."

Premier Inn Edinburgh A1 - Newcraighall

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and nice. Close to public transportation."

Ravelston House

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were brilliant and very helpful with everything we asked for. However, whilst in the bar there was a long wait to be served and guests were having to locate the bar assistant from other parts of the hotel. It may be advantageous to instruct a staff member to be present permamntly, especially when busy. On the Saturday it was busy and the restaurant ran out of eight basic foods items' resulting in two options available. This was at 7.30pm. Please note we did very much enjoy our stay, but these things would refrain us from recommending you to our friends. Thank you for a relaxing stay."

Faside Estate

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional history, plenty of snacks and food items left in room for breakfast, highly recommend staying here!"
