Our final night at Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel was absolutely perfect after two nights on the Royal Mile. The moment we arrived, the staff made us feel instantly welcome—friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm without any pretense. It’s rare to find a place that feels so personal and relaxing, yet still luxurious. The accommodation itself was outstanding: clean, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. We loved the peaceful atmosphere and the unique floating experience—it’s unlike anything else in Edinburgh.

Staying at Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh was an absolute delight. Located right on Princes Street, it's just a short walk from Scott Monument and offers stunning views of the castle and railway station from the windows. Despite being in the heart of the city, the street is surprisingly quiet—perfect for a peaceful night’s sleep. The room itself was spacious and immaculately clean, with thoughtful touches that made the stay feel luxurious. I loved having breakfast while watching the light rail pass by and catching glimpses of the castle—such a unique and memorable experience. The hotel also offers convenient luggage storage if you're rushing to catch a train, which is a huge plus. With a little more reasonable pricing during peak season, this would be an ideal choice for any traveler looking for comfort, location, and charm in Edinburgh.

We absolutely loved our stay at Kingsley Guest House in Edinburgh. The location is quiet yet incredibly convenient—just steps from multiple bus stops, making it easy to explore the city without hassle. Alan and Alison were warm, welcoming hosts who made us feel right at home, and we even got to meet their lovely little companion, Mr. Tom. Our room was perfectly sized with a modern bathroom, ample closet space, and a cozy bed that promised a restful night’s sleep. Breakfast was a highlight—Alan happily prepared exactly what we wanted, showing great flexibility and attention to detail. Within a 10-15 minute walk (or short bus ride), we found a variety of restaurants and grocery stores, so getting essentials or enjoying local eats was effortless. Everything about this B&B felt thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. We’d return in a heartbeat—highly recommended!
Royal Scots Club
Staying at the Royal Scots Club in Edinburgh was an absolutely delightful experience. This historic property doubles as a private members' club, giving it a unique charm and old-world elegance that’s hard to find elsewhere. Our standard double room was spacious and well-appointed, featuring a comfortable large bed and a modern bathroom—despite being located on the basement level, it felt quiet and serene. The dining room was truly elegant, serving excellent meals for both dinner and breakfast with attentive service. The staff at reception were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. While the area is peaceful and slightly off the main tourist trail, it’s still within easy reach of key attractions. It’s rare to find such a refined atmosphere combined with genuine hospitality—this place feels like stepping into another era. Highly recommended for travelers seeking something special.
The Parliament House Hotel
Booked a king-size room with a quiet, non-smoking request—perfect for a peaceful stay. Despite some language barriers during check-in, the front desk staff were incredibly thoughtful and accommodating. They even offered to store my luggage and personally escorted me to the room. Everyone I met was warm and friendly, making me feel truly valued. As soon as I stepped into the room, I was blown away—the cleanliness was outstanding, the décor was fresh and modern, and the calming blue-green color scheme instantly made me feel at home. The space felt thoughtfully designed, cozy yet elegant, with attention to every little detail. It was exactly what I was looking for: a serene retreat in Edinburgh. This was one of the best stays I’ve had, and I’ll definitely come back. A huge thumbs up to the team!
Hotel Ceilidh-Donia
Staying at Hotel Ceilidh-Donia was an absolute delight! This charming property feels more like a cozy countryside villa than a typical hotel, with authentic British elegance in every detail. The breakfast is a standout—beyond the usual options, you can choose from five chef-prepared dishes made fresh daily, which made mornings truly special. Located just 3 km from Edinburgh Train Station and within walking distance of the city center, getting around was effortless. I walked everywhere, and it was incredibly convenient. The owner was genuinely courteous and full of charm—he even pulled out a box of over a dozen international plug adapters when I realized I’d forgotten mine! We both laughed about it. Plus, there’s a peaceful little park right next to the hotel, perfect for a morning stroll. This place offers such a warm, personal touch and incredible value—you’ll want to come back again.

Staying at Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City Centre was an absolute delight.

It’s also within easy reach of major attractions, especially Calton Hill—just a few minutes away, offering stunning views of the city. The room was spotless, neatly arranged, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was cozy, the bathroom was modern and clean, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. What stood out most was the front desk staff—they were friendly, professional, and always ready to help with local tips or any request. Their warm hospitality made a big difference.

Kick Ass Greyfriars is absolutely spotless—hands down one of the cleanest hostels I’ve ever stayed in. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely safe and welcome. The bathrooms were immaculate, fresh, and well-maintained, which made a big difference to my overall comfort. The staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in a breeze and going out of their way to ensure we had a great stay.

Edinburgh Nine
I was completely surprised to find this was a guesthouse— the room was huge and incredibly well-equipped. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered, from the modern furnishings to the fully stocked amenities. It's located just minutes from the city center, making it super convenient for exploring Edinburgh on foot or by public transit. The neighborhood is lively with great cafes and shops nearby. With such a spacious, comfortable stay at this price point, it’s an unbeatable value. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending it to friends.
City Retreat Edinburgh ApartHotels
Our stay at City Retreat Edinburgh ApartHotels was truly disappointing. The only redeeming feature was the shower, but everything else fell short. The room had a strong musty smell, and it felt visibly unclean—dust on surfaces, grime on the floor, and even the bedding seemed worn. It's located in a basement unit with steep, narrow stairs that felt eerie at night, especially since the outdoor light wasn’t working. Despite notices about noise and respecting guests above, we were repeatedly woken up by loud noises from the floor above. The wallpaper was peeling off in several spots—something I’ve photographed for proof. Overall, this place failed to meet basic standards of cleanliness and comfort. The housekeeping team needs urgent improvement, and the building clearly needs renovation. This experience ruined our trip to Edinburgh. If you're looking for a decent stay, avoid this property.
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.
