Apex Waterloo Place Hotel ★★★★

📍 23-27 Waterloo Pl, Edinburgh

"Booked a city view room on Trip.com, but got an inner-facing room with no view. However, the Chinese lady at the front desk was excellent! She patiently explained everything, tried her best to coordinate a change, and even enthusiastically recommended local attractions and restaurants. Even though the room couldn't be changed after all 🤣, the service was outstanding. The bar and restaurant staff were also very friendly, and the complimentary breakfast was absolutely delicious 👍"

8.5 (93 reviews)

Kick Ass Greyfriars - Adults Only - Hostel ★★★

📍 37-39 Cowgate, Edinburgh

"Good location, center of Edinburgh, just 10 min walk to Edinburgh castle. Great natural light and blinds for the night. However, the doors were really loud, no matter how hard I tried the doors keep making huge noise when I close or open it. The room I stayed were bad at sound proof, loud chatter sound could be heard from inside when people pass by in the morning, ear plugs are recommended if you are staying there and are sensitive to noise. Overall it’s still worth the price"

We stayed for two nights and really enjoyed our time there. The hotel was quite expensive, but its central location made it very convenient and allowed us to enjoy the city easily. Despite the high price, we were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend it."

Britannia Edinburgh Hotel ★★★
"The price is very affordable, but the location is a bit far from the city center, so you'll need to take a taxi to get there and back. Many rooms are in the basement, making them a bit stuffy and hot."

CODE The Loft - Edinburgh ★★★
"Great location—about a 10-minute walk from the train station, and just a minute or two away from a commercial street with plenty of dining and shopping options. The 4-bed female dorm offers plenty of personal space with room for luggage, and you can lock your suitcase under the bed if you bring a padlock. The bathroom is also spacious and very clean, fully stocked with toiletries. The only downside is that the female dorm is on the fourth floor and there's no elevator in the building, which makes it quite inconvenient if you have heavy luggage."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel ★★★★
"The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic – almost all the attractions are within walking distance. It's right at the foot of Calton Hill, and with daylight saving time, it stays light late, so it's super convenient to watch the sunset, head back to the hotel to rest, and then go out again to see it."

"No one stayed in the neighboring room this time, and the front desk gave us an end room. The music was great and the lobby had a nice atmosphere. Very good overall. Woke up just in time for breakfast, and it's very convenient for getting a visa processed."

Eleven Stafford Street Townhouse ★★★★
"We had the perfect getaway because of this accommodation. Our room was clean and smelled fresh. The check-in process was straightforward and the fact that we only needed to remember a code and not carry around keys was convenient. Walking distance from the city centre, loads of pubs and restaurants in the nearby. Would look into staying there again :)"

Malmaison Edinburgh City ★★★★
"Hotel coluld not be in a better location - easy short walk from station, close to shopping centre and a hop on hop off bus stop right outside! Staff were excellent - very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was good with a varied choice. Bedroom was clean and comfortable with a vey impressive power shower - our only small gripe on this front was that we thought the bedroom was a tad on the dark side, even with all the lights on (very dimly lit). We did go to the bar one evening but thought this lacked any atmosphere, was quite dark and the music was aimed at youngsters rather than middle of the road easy music to appeal to majority . There were only 2 other people in there with us and neither couple stayed! The hotel had a vending machine with all sorts of stuff in that you might have forgotten for your trip but the touch screen was black (obviously until touched) and the machine had no sign saying what it was so only found out on last day. Overall an excellent hotel with excellent staff and in an excellent location..."
