"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!"

Top Musselburgh Racecourse Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Menu in room was outdated. One Elevator was not working. Pillows were not comfortable Shower was great Staff was very helpful"

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay with amazing staff on a wonderful city. Well located and the free coffee/tea was a nice touch"

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely, old barony house. It is not a pristine chain hotel. Give yourself plenty of time to roam the house and grounds. This place is breathtaking! Staff was mostly helpful, though we requested a whisky tasting, were told they'd inquire and let us know, but never did (we assumed that meant no). Dinner service was very slow the evening we were there, with very few other people. Bar drinks had to be requested more than once before they arrived. Wait staff was not very attentive. Food and drink for dinner and the included breakfast were delicious. The sea bass was out of this world and the sticky toffee pudding was perfection! This was a luxury stay with a lovely, comfortable bed and nicely appointed, basic room. A lovely last night in Scotland before we had to return home."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for exploring old and “new” Edinburgh!! Right on the Royal Mile and less than 15 minutes to any and all the sites—- great pub restaurants immediately nearby at reasonable prices- really recommended!!"

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"

Aynetree Guest House

8/10 Good

"Very nice warm welcome and walk around the main areas of the guest house."

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."
