Top Writers' Museum Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Omullets"

Market Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff were very friendly! The location is perfect to walk around the city for sure. We thought the bed would be uncomfortable when we felt the mattress but it was surprisingly very comfortable. The only complaint we have is the parking and the burning smell outside. Either from the fireplace on the ground floor or the coffee house next door. We had to park in a car park that was a long walk with a lot of luggage. Which wasn’t fun at all. But overall, it was a great hotel and would definitely recommend staying there."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Newly opened restaurant is lovely, beautiful view and nice breakfast. Location of hotel is very central and convenient for walking everywhere. Rooms are smaller and quite basic and could use some attention to a few maintenance type details, but overall a decent spot and an excellent location "
