Top Musselburgh Racecourse Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The person who checked us in and also checked us out, was helpful but lacked friendliness. I would have wished someone who seemed happy to help waited on us."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We truly enjoyed our stay at the Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel. The staff were very attentive and helpful, and helped arrange a surprise (cake and balloons) for my wife's birthday. The room was large by European standards and the bathroom was elegant, well equipped, and also very spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable and we appreciated the extras (slippers and robe) and a welcome plate of fruit and chocolates. The only negatives were the condition of some very easily remedied aspects of our room and property. The hotel was a little dated and needed refreshing in some areas. For example, although not terrible, our room needed a fresh coat of paint and the carpets could use cleaning. Also a sofa in a common area on our floor was completely worn and in need of replacement. With a few of these updates this could become a 5 Star hotel across the board. All in all, it was a good experience and I would consider returning on another stay in Edinburgh."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, really stylish especially for the price. The wee double room was basic in amenities but thoughtfully decorated and had what you need, spotless too! It was definitely wee but perfect for one person and more than suitable for two if you’re happy to be cosy! They accommodated bag storage and late check out without a fuss and were friendly and helpful."

Aynetree Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic welcome from helpful staff. A really comfortable, clean guesthouse with spotless en suite bathrooms and access to a private outdoor courtyard."

Best Western Kings Manor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel with easy bus/taxi link.s into Edinburgh city centre. Breakfast was a good standard with plenty of options available. The staff were ves⁰ry helpful and courteous. Good car parking facilities. The rooms were clean and serviced every day. Its agood 4 star hotel."

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate

10/10 Excellent

"The food was amazing and the staff were very knowledgeable about the area and helpful with planning the rest of our trip. The property itself was beautiful! 10/10 would recommend!"

Ravelston House

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely room, welcoming staff, nice bar and restaurant, great location. Parking on site. Near the beach and harbour."

Melville Castle

8/10 Good

"Most of the staff were lovely and went out of their way to accommodate requests or needs. Service for meals was fairly slow, so plan accordingly. Food quality and temperatures should definitely be I Improved. While the property was lovely, the furnishings were a bit shabby and worn down. It wouldn’t take much to raise the standard and impression. Finally, the write ups and marketing should be more truthful about what can be seen on property and how authentic the current building truly is. Those looking for royalty to have stayed at the ‘castle’ will be let down."

2 Mins Walk from Edinburgh's Best Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Great property, close to the beach and restaurants and bars. Would be good for winter and summer vacations. Patrick and Roslyn are very helpful. We had a great time."
