InterContinental Edinburgh The George
Honestly, just one word: amazing! From the moment I walked in, everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was outstanding—plenty of variety and delicious quality, with staff who were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I stayed in room 44, a unique loft-style layout that felt quirky and cool—definitely not your average hotel room. Despite being split-level, it was incredibly quiet, making for a peaceful night’s sleep. I loved the bathroom amenities—they used my favorite brand, Baudruche, and the scent alone made me feel pampered. Granted, the room size isn’t huge compared to some mainland hotels, but considering I was staying in a beautifully preserved historic building right in the heart of Edinburgh, it felt like a real privilege. The location is fantastic—walkable to major sights and super convenient for public transit. Everything about this stay screamed quality and charm. If I ever come back to Edinburgh, this will be my first choice again. A truly unforgettable experience.
The Glasshouse, Autograph Collection
Staying at The Glasshouse, Autograph Collection in Edinburgh was an absolute delight. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, offering a comfortable retreat after a day exploring the city. What truly stood out was the outdoor terrace—overlooking the heart of Edinburgh’s skyline with stunning views that made every morning and evening feel special. The service was exceptional too—staff went above and beyond with genuine warmth and attention to detail, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. Every interaction felt personal and thoughtful. This hotel strikes the perfect balance between luxury and charm, and it’s clear they care about guest experience. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Edinburgh who wants a memorable, high-quality stay.
The Edinburgh Grand, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Edinburgh
The Edinburgh Grand truly exceeded my expectations—my room was surprisingly spacious, easily one of the largest I've seen in the UK. It featured a generous private balcony with great city views, a fully equipped kitchenette, a separate living area, and a comfortable bedroom. The layout felt more like a home than a hotel, perfect for families or groups. In the UK, dining out can be extremely expensive, so having the ability to cook our own meals was a game-changer—both cost-effective and convenient. We enjoyed breakfast in bed and even prepared a few dinners, which made the trip much more relaxed. The location is excellent too—just a short walk from the city center and close to public transit. This hotel delivers luxury, comfort, and practicality all in one. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh.
Gleneagles Townhouse
We were absolutely delighted to receive a complimentary coffee and breakfast treat on my wife's birthday during our stay at Gleneagles Townhouse—such a thoughtful surprise! Though we had initially planned for Christmas, the team still went above and beyond to make our visit special. John personally ensured everything was just right, creating a memorable experience on an otherwise ordinary day. The location is unbeatable—central in Edinburgh, with easy access to public transport and all major attractions. The ambiance is calm and elegant, and the attention to detail truly sets this place apart. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality combined with comfort and charm. I’d definitely return and recommend this gem to anyone visiting Edinburgh.
Novotel Edinburgh Centre
I've stayed at Novotel properties in Switzerland and France before, and always had a positive experience—so it was natural to choose this one again during my visit to Edinburgh. The location is unbeatable: right in the heart of the city, with major attractions just a short walk away. The room was clean and comfortable, the atmosphere pleasant, and the staff helpful throughout. That said, the price is definitely on the higher side. Edinburgh is a compact city, and moving just a bit further from the centre can cut accommodation costs by half. I originally planned to extend my stay for another night, but when I checked online in the afternoon, the platform showed availability. However, upon arrival, they claimed there were no rooms left. I returned early the next morning, only to be told the same thing. In the end, I switched to another hotel just 800 meters away—same quality level, but prices were half as much. Even after factoring in a few Uber rides, the total cost was still significantly lower than staying here. While Novotel Edinburgh Centre offers excellent service and convenience, if you're budget-conscious or value flexibility, there are smarter options nearby that deliver better value without sacrificing comfort.
DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh City Centre
Staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh City Centre was an absolute delight. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of the city, just steps away from major attractions and public transport hubs. I found it incredibly convenient to explore Edinburgh on foot or by train. The staff were warm, professional, and always ready to help. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, well-prepared, and varied, with both classic English options and international choices. Everything was delicious and served with a smile. From the comfortable rooms to the thoughtful touches, this stay exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Edinburgh.
No11 Boutique Hotel & Brasserie
The stay at No11 Boutique Hotel & Brasserie was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The room was beautifully designed—elegant, clean, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. We especially loved the cozy ambiance and the attention to detail in the decor. Located just a short walk from the city center, it’s perfect for exploring Edinburgh on foot. The breakfast at the brasserie was a highlight—fresh, delicious, and served with a smile. This place truly delivers on comfort, style, and hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Edinburgh!
Apex Grassmarket Hotel
The Apex Grassmarket Hotel is an absolute gem in Edinburgh! We stayed in a twin room with two 1.5-meter beds, and even with three of us, there was plenty of space—comfortable and spacious throughout. The location is unbeatable: the castle is literally visible from the front door, and you can see it towering above as soon as you step out. Across the street, there's a great lineup of restaurants, so dining options are plentiful and super convenient. Whether you're after a cozy pub meal or something more upscale, everything’s just steps away. With such a prime spot, excellent room size, and that iconic castle view, this hotel offers incredible value. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!
Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh
This was our second stay at the Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh, and once again, we were thoroughly impressed. We traveled with three families this time, and even invited two other households to join us—everyone had a fantastic experience. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, with everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. Even though we were on the ground floor, there was no sense of being closed in or dull—just clean, bright, and welcoming. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just an 8-minute walk to Calton Hill and about 15 minutes to the train station. In terms of value for money, it’s hard to beat—best location in its price range, and arguably the most affordable option in that area. We’ve considered trying other hotels this year, but after checking out alternatives, we kept coming back to this one. Edinburgh is simply magical, and staying here made every moment of our trip more memorable.
Nira Caledonia
This hotel is truly exceptional—perfectly situated in the charming Stockbridge neighborhood of Edinburgh. It’s close enough to walk to all the top attractions, yet peaceful and quiet away from the tourist crowds. The staff go above and beyond with their warm hospitality and attention to detail, making you feel right at home. Every interaction was thoughtful and genuine. I’ve stayed in many hotels across the UK, and this one stands out for its combination of location, comfort, and service. I’d absolutely stay here again if I ever return to Edinburgh—highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable, stress-free experience.
Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh
I stayed at Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh for one night and was thoroughly impressed. The facilities were excellent, especially the capsule coffee machine in the room—perfect for a morning pick-me-up. The hotel was spotlessly clean with a very comfortable atmosphere throughout. Its location is fantastic: just a short walk from the train station, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The elegant design of the hotel adds to its charm, and the view from my window showed the beautiful Crichton Hill—absolutely lovely. Staff were friendly and attentive; housekeeping came daily and even offered three bottles of water when I asked, which was very generous. While bottled water wasn’t restocked every day (only provided on the first day), the staff’s willingness to help made up for it. The lobby area was welcoming, featuring free fruit and lemon water—a nice touch. Overall, this hotel offers great value, exceptional service, and a relaxing stay. I’d definitely recommend it and will consider returning next time I visit Edinburgh.
Hilton Edinburgh Carlton
Traveling with my 80+ mother was such a pleasant experience thanks to the exceptional service at Hilton Edinburgh Carlton. The hotel went above and beyond by assigning us an age-friendly room—thoughtful features like grab bars, easy-to-reach controls, and ample lighting made everything comfortable for her. But what truly stood out was the front desk staff: a kind and attentive lady who personally arranged our airport transfer. She ensured the driver arrived early the next morning, making our departure stress-free. The location is also excellent—just a short metro ride into the city center. From start to finish, the attention to detail and genuine care made this stay unforgettable. If you're traveling with elderly family members, this hotel is an absolute must-consider. Highly recommended!
