Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood

Staying at the Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood was a fantastic experience. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the city center and near public transit, making it easy to explore Edinburgh on foot or by train. The area is quiet and peaceful, offering a nice escape from the busier parts of town. There's a local grocery store nearby for essentials, and even better, there’s a small Chinese convenience store right next door that accepts Alipay—super helpful for travelers like me who prefer digital payments. The room itself was spotless, with no unpleasant odors and excellent cleanliness throughout. Daily complimentary bottled water (two bottles per day) is a nice touch. One thing to note: the hotel doesn’t provide slippers or toiletries, but since I brought my own, it wasn’t an issue. Overall, this is a well-maintained, thoughtfully designed hotel with great value for money. I’d definitely stay here again when 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.

Radisson Blu Hotel Edinburgh City Centre

Staying at the Radisson Blu Hotel Edinburgh City Centre was a fantastic experience overall. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Edinburgh, just a short walk from major attractions, shopping streets, and restaurants. The room was spacious, modern, and very comfortable, with a great bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The only downside was the Wi-Fi connection, which was extremely weak and often unreliable. I ended up using my mobile data for most of the time. Despite that small issue, the hotel offers excellent value for money, great service, and an ideal spot for exploring the city. Highly recommended for travelers who prioritize convenience and comfort.

DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh City Centre

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.

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!

Ten Hill Place Hotel, WorldHotels Distinctive

Staying at Ten Hill Place Hotel in Edinburgh was hands down the most satisfying hotel experience I've had in the city—yes, it's on the pricier side, but every penny feels justified. The bed isn’t huge, but the bathroom is spacious and well-designed, with a standout feature: the towel drying rack. It made all the difference for drying out our clothes during the trip—no more damp backpacks or sweaty layers. Breakfast was excellent—plenty of variety, fresh ingredients, and great quality. When we were rushing to catch our train, the front desk kindly arranged a taxi for us, which saved us from a stressful scramble. The hotel is less than a mile from the train station, super convenient, though navigating the steep slopes and uneven cobbled streets with luggage was tiring—next time, definitely just grab a cab. There are also tons of dining options nearby, so you’re never far from a good meal. Overall, the location, service, and thoughtful touches like the drying rack make this a top-tier stay. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Edinburgh.

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.

Market Street Hotel

Staying at Market Street Hotel was such a delightful experience. The room felt warm and inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. What stood out the most was the complimentary mini-bar—no extra charges for drinks or snacks, which was a fantastic touch. The location is unbeatable: right across from the train station, so you don’t have to lug your luggage up any steep hills in Edinburgh’s chilly weather. Just a short walk up a charming little staircase brings you straight into Royal Mile, perfect for exploring shops, cafes, and local gems. The only small improvement I’d suggest is brighter lighting above the sink—the current light is a bit dim, making it tricky to see when brushing your teeth or washing up. But honestly, this is a tiny detail in an otherwise outstanding stay. The warmth, comfort, and convenience make this hotel a top choice for anyone visiting Edinburgh. I’ll definitely be back.
