Brilliant location especially for the fringe festival, it meant I was able to catch a show after checking out as they had free festival shows downstairs in the bar. My light was broken and unusable, but other than that the dorm on the 4th floor was quiet enough didnt hear any of the noise from the bar downstairs which is great, only issue was from guests not from the hostel itself, guests on the last night came in at 1.30am and started making their beds as only one of them had made their bed during check in, I guess the hostel could advise guests to make their beds at check in instead of waiting until they come back to do it, or explain general expectations of sharing rooms with others to be mindful of other guests as the 3 girls didnt turn the light off or stop talking in the room until 4am and then left the room again at 7.30am

The young staff at the front desk were all incredibly warm and friendly. The room's bedding was clean, and the street view from the window was lovely. The location is excellent, close to everything. There's a supermarket downstairs, the hotel has a restaurant, and there are many eateries nearby, which is super convenient. The only downside is that the windows don't open, which seems to be a common issue as other hotels with AC on the street also have sealed windows. A minor improvement could be to switch the plastic lining of the electric kettle to stainless steel. Overall, I'm very satisfied. While it was a bit pricey, considering it was during the Edinburgh August Festival, in the city center, and had an elevator, the value for money at this hotel was actually quite good.

Absolutely fabulous location right in the middle of historic Edinburgh. Easy luggage storage (I arrived early). A free beer during check in. Super clean and comfortable bed pod with everything I needed in it (charging plug, hooks and shelves). It felt private in my pod. Bathroom facilities were spotless with excellent showers. And had a delicious breakfast in the cafe in the AM. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Only drawback is that fellow sleepers seemed to be up and about a few times in the night (dorm door made a noise closing) so sleep was a bit disrupted by this but overall it was still a good stay.

I had an excellent stay at hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh Royal Mile hotel. The location is outstanding—just a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley Station and right beside the Royal Mile, making it the perfect base for exploring the city's main attractions. The room was modern, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, making great use of the space while still feeling comfortable and welcoming. The bed was extremely comfortable, and I enjoyed a peaceful night's sleep throughout my stay. The hotel is known for its compact, smartly designed rooms in a prime city-center location, which matched my experience perfectly. The cleanliness was exceptional, and every area of the hotel was well maintained. Staff were friendly, professional, and always happy to help, making the experience smooth from check-in to check-out. The facilities were excellent, with reliable Wi-Fi, modern room controls, and everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, this hotel offers fantastic value, a superb location, and a high standard of service. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The view from the window was absolutely amazing and really made my day — waking up to such a beautiful scene instantly put me in a great mood. The front desk staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional, which made check-in and communication very smooth. The Christmas decorations were stunning and created such a warm, festive atmosphere throughout the hotel. The room was very spacious, spotlessly clean, and extremely comfortable. Overall, this stay made me feel relaxed and genuinely happy. I would definitely love to come back and highly recommend this hotel to others.

This hotel boasts an excellent location right near Edinburgh Waverley Station, just a few minutes' walk from the Royal Mile, Princes Street, and Calton Hill. It's a newly opened hotel with self-check-in available, and the lobby features a very modern art style decor. The rooms are spacious with brand-new facilities, and the Soapsmith toiletries are fantastic. Sparkling water, still water, coffee, and tea bags are provided in the room. The front desk and restaurant staff offer great service, and the breakfast is abundant. The only downside is that the room cleaning quality can be inconsistent; sometimes they forget to restock the mineral water, citing 'no water left' as the reason.

Just a 10-minute walk from the train station... The room and bedding were clean. There's a separate locker for luggage, but it doesn't have a lock. There are shared toilets and showers. The common area is for drinking water and eating your own food; cooking is not allowed. They also have another branch in York. The front desk service was excellent; they even let me check in early at 2:30 PM.

Exiting the train station, you'll see South North Bride; the hotel is about 300 meters further ahead. The rooms were clean, and the breakfast was of the same standard as other premium chain hotels. A highlight is its proximity to the Gin Museum – incredibly close!

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was spotlessly clean, modern, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable night. I would especially like to commend Callun for his professional and helpful assistance after my check-out. While I was waiting to collect my luggage, he efficiently resolved a minor issue by providing a charging lead for my phone. He also kindly offered me a seating area and a glass of water while I waited. This level of attentive service is much appreciated. I will certainly choose this hotel again for my future visits to Edinburgh.

Facilities: Though small, it has everything you need. Cleanliness: Decent, I didn't spot a single dirty spot. Environment: Not great value for money, but because of its location, it's right in the center of everything. Perfect! Service: The front desk staff were polite and courteous, not at all like those other hotels that are said to be ****** against certain groups. Surroundings: Supermarkets, Chinese restaurants, convenience stores, tourist attractions all around the hotel. A few hundred meters to the left is J.K. Rowling's café and the castle. The Milkman网红店 (Milkman internet-famous shop) is right outside, the train station is downstairs, and a bit further are Princes Street Gardens and the bridge connecting the old and new towns. Basically, everything is about 10 minutes away, except for the sunset view which is about a 20-minute walk.

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

9.0/10
Great
Posted on Jul 21, 2026|Studio Double Room
USSuzieQue
I really like Adagio Aparthotels and the Edinburgh location on the Royal Mile is the best I’ve experienced. I liked the layout of the studio I had with a Murphy bed to allow you to change the space as desired. Having a kitchenette allowed me to save money on meals and eat when I felt like it. The laundry facilities were easy to use. I was on the 4th floor and had a stunning view of Arthur’s Seat as I walked to my room. The staff were friendly and helpful and asking them to call a taxi was very easy. Will definitely stay here again when I’m next in Edinburgh. Oh and it’s just a few doors down from the Islander Workshop to put together your own purse (Canongate location) if you decide to do that!

Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood

This was the most expensive hotel we booked for this trip, but the experience wasn't great. The soundproofing in the room was poor, and the garbage truck dragging along the cobblestone streets downstairs was very noisy early in the morning. The hotel's location is excellent, though, right in the Old Town and close to Holyrood Palace.

All went well from check-in to check-out. A special thank you to Beth from Guest Relations, who made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. Her warmth, professionalism, and willingness to help made a real difference to our stay. She is truly an asset to the Wilde Aparthotels family. Thank you for making our visit even more memorable.

Holyrood Aparthotel

The aparthotel was in a great central location only a walk away from many attractions such as Holyrood palace, arthur's seat, Edinburgh castle etc. It is off the royal mile. There are restaurants at your door stop such as chef bako where I tried a nice street style burger and fried mars bar. The check in was easy. They provide all the ncessary cutlery, there was some milk, tea, sugar coffeez salt and pepper available in the room. You can have daily room cleaning and can also do own laundry as there was a washing machine in the room. It is quiet and not in a noisey location. Negatives: I would say the set up of the toilet wasn't the best in terms of the radiator was really close to the toilet seat so if you were a larger person, you wouldn't comfortably be able to sit on the toilet seat. There weren't any hooks on the toilet door to hand towels. No shower holders in the shower to put shampoo or soap etc. The headboard rest isn”t needed as shortens the length of the bed so your feet come off the end of the bed. These rests are not detachable. Overall with a few adjustments in the room it would be better but I would stay there again because of the location.

Posted on Jun 3, 2026|One Bed In An 18 Bed Dorm W/ Shared Bathroom (Triple Bunks)
KRKloia
This is a photo I took at my accommodation in Edinburgh. It was only about a one-minute walk from the station, and most of the main tourist attractions were nearby, which made getting around very convenient. The only surprise was that I didn’t realise it was a triple bunk bed when I booked it. I booked it without thinking much about the bed setup, so I was a bit caught off guard. As a result, I hit my head a few times! Other than that, everything was fine. Interestingly, the top bunk (third level) actually looked like the best spot.

I paid good money for a family room for 2 nights , it was a box room , not enough space for 3 people , never booking again as I have had better value for less money elsewhere. Food menu/breakfast was catering more for other cultures !!!,( no Scottish beef only NZ beef- evening meal) nothing really traditionally Scottish to which we were expecting apart from haggis/tatty scones that was pretty much it. asked for lunch ie toastie or chips with roll for my son , they could no accommodate this , not a very kid friendly hotel. Overall a beautiful Hotel however we were very disappointed with the room size and the Scottishness.... was just not there am afraid to say. I will not be recommending this place to any of my family friends as they will be disappointed. Regards from a fellow Scotsman ( Andrew Marshall)

The room was a bit small for three people, especially with the sofa bed, as there wasn't enough space to open our luggage. However, the hotel's location is excellent, within walking distance of the station. The breakfast is a set menu. The room has air conditioning and an ironing board.

The location of the hotel is invincible (the house in the lower right corner of the second picture). Turn right after exiting the Market Street exit of the train station and walk for one minute. You don’t have to worry about carrying large luggage. When you cross the road, you will see Prince Street Park and Waverley Bridge (where the photo was taken). After crossing the bridge, you will see Prince Street. Turn right and walk for 15 minutes to Calton Hill. Turn right and walk for 3 minutes to the Royal Mile. There are many restaurants along the way. It is very close to the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Castle, and the Art Museum. The staff’s service is very good. When they meet people from non-English speaking countries, they will communicate with guests at a very slow speed. It is also very convenient to store luggage. There is also an airport bus at the door of the hotel.

CNJannCindy
The location is excellent, within walking distance of the Old Town attractions and the train station, with plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The hotel facilities are comprehensive, including an elevator. The family room we booked had one large bed and two single beds, and it was very spacious. We were given a room on the 4th floor, which was very quiet. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, and slippers are not provided, so you need to bring your own. Coffee and black tea are available in the room, and you can also get them at the front desk. The buffet breakfast is £11.99 for adults, and children can join for just an additional £1. Daily cleaning is not provided; you need to notify the front desk or hang the 'clean my room' sign on the door for towel changes and trash disposal. There's only 30 minutes of free internet per day. Considering the cheap price we paid, I still think the hotel is quite good.
