The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

Staying at The Caledonian Edinburgh was an absolute highlight of our trip. Located right at the intersection of Princes Street and Lothian Street, it sits perfectly between Old Town and New Town—just a short walk from the iconic Edinburgh Castle, with views of the fortress from the front door. The hotel itself is a historic building with rich heritage, once visited by legends like Arthur Conan Doyle, which made it extra special for us as devoted Sherlock Holmes fans. The breakfast was a classic English spread, but what stood out most was the waffle served with honey straight from a whole, fresh honeycomb—such a unique and memorable touch. There’s also a beautiful garden restaurant in the atrium, though we were pressed for time and didn’t get to experience it. Still, the atmosphere alone adds so much charm. From the location to the details, every element felt thoughtfully curated. A truly exceptional stay that exceeded expectations.

Our honeymoon stay at W Edinburgh was absolutely perfect—just two nights, but every moment felt special. The room was modern, spacious, and packed with all the amenities we could want. What made it extra memorable? The room number matched our wedding anniversary—such a thoughtful touch! Located right next to a shopping mall, everything we needed was within walking distance. Plus, being so close to all the main attractions made exploring the city effortless. We loved how convenient the location was—just a short walk or quick subway ride to anywhere we wanted to go. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcomed. Even though we only stayed overnight, we already know we’d book again in a heartbeat. If you're planning a romantic getaway to Edinburgh, this hotel is an absolute must-try.

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.

Edinburgh - Houseboats

This was our first visit to Edinburgh, and we absolutely fell in love with the city—and especially with the Boatel, 'Wee Sisters'! From the moment we arrived, everything impressed us: the prime location just steps from the heart of town, the spotless cleanliness, the warm and inviting atmosphere, and the fully equipped kitchen that made cooking a breeze. The TVs were clear, the beds comfy, and the little touches—like fresh flowers and thoughtful amenities—made the stay feel extra special. It was so convenient, relaxing, and truly unique. Huge thanks to Natalie and her team for creating such a memorable experience. We’ll definitely be back!

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!

The room itself is spacious and thoughtfully designed; it comfortably fit two people with plenty of room to move around.

Malmaison Edinburgh

Staying at Malmaison Edinburgh was a delightful experience from start to finish. The minimalist design gives the hotel a modern, stylish vibe that feels both fresh and welcoming. Every corner is spotlessly clean—beds, bathrooms, hallways—it’s clear they take hygiene seriously. The surroundings are peaceful and beautifully maintained, making it easy to unwind after a busy day exploring the city. Staff are friendly, efficient, and always ready to help. One minor downside? The on-site restaurant closes earlier than expected, so dinner plans had to be adjusted—but honestly, that’s just a small bump in an otherwise perfect stay. With its prime location, excellent service, and great atmosphere, this place earns every single point. I’d happily come back without hesitation.

I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like a small bottle of whisky and chocolates left in the room. Breakfast was excellent, and I loved that they offered hot options. The location is ideal—just a short walk or quick transit ride to all major attractions. Yes, the windows are a bit small, but the view from them is absolutely stunning. Overall, this place offers incredible value for money, with elegant surroundings and exceptional service. I’d definitely stay here again.

Leonardo Edinburgh Haymarket

Staying at the Leonardo Edinburgh Haymarket was a fantastic experience overall. The room was larger than expected, featuring a comfortable sofa that made it feel more like a home away from home. Cleanliness was excellent—everything looked fresh and well-maintained. The in-room amenities were thoughtful: a capsule coffee machine and a fridge made mornings easy and convenient, especially for that quick caffeine fix. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the train station and within easy reach of major attractions. There are plenty of restaurants and cozy bars nearby, so dinner and drinks are never an issue. The only downside is the cabinet above the tea station—it has a sharp corner that could easily cause injury if you’re not careful. It’s definitely a safety concern, especially when moving around with luggage or in low light. A simple fix like adding a soft edge cover would go a long way. Otherwise, this hotel offers great value and a welcoming atmosphere.

Murrayfield Hotel

Staying at Murrayfield Hotel was an absolute delight! The location is fantastic—just a three-stop subway ride from Princes Street, and there's a bus stop right outside the hotel for easy access. If you're driving, free parking is a huge plus. I especially enjoyed taking the tram from Princes Street to the stadium stop, then walking just a few minutes to the hotel—perfect way to explore the city. Plus, the Chinese consulate is right across the street, which added a nice touch of pride. Everything about this stay felt convenient, comfortable, and well-located. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Edinburgh!
