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.
Kimpton Charlotte Square
From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality at Kimpton Charlotte Square made our stay in Edinburgh truly special. A huge shoutout to Brian from the concierge team—he was absolutely outstanding! Not only does he speak seven languages fluently, but his knowledge of local spots and genuine kindness made every interaction a pleasure. Whether it was recommending hidden gems or helping with last-minute travel plans, he went above and beyond with a smile. His professionalism and personal touch turned what could’ve been just another hotel stay into an unforgettable experience. The staff’s attention to detail, combined with the charming atmosphere of the hotel, made this place feel like home. I’d highly recommend this gem to any traveler looking for warmth, style, and exceptional service—truly a standout in Edinburgh.
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.
The Balmoral Hotel
Staying at The Balmoral Hotel was an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the location was perfect—just a five-minute walk to Calton Hill, and everything else in the Old Town, Rainbow Street, and Royal Mile was within easy reach. The hotel itself feels like a living piece of history, with elegant architecture and timeless charm. I couldn’t help but stop by room 552—the door painted a striking purple, which added such a unique touch. It’s said that J.K. Rowling found inspiration here while writing the final book in the Harry Potter series, and it’s easy to imagine why. The views from the windows are breathtaking, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. If you’re looking for a blend of luxury, history, and convenience in Edinburgh, this is the place to be. Highly recommended.
Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa
My stay at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa in Edinburgh was absolutely outstanding. I booked a Club Level room with a view of Edinburgh Castle—waking up to that iconic skyline was breathtaking, especially during sunrise. The hotel has a side entrance just steps away from the castle gates, making access incredibly convenient. Whether you're heading to Princes Street, Calton Hill, or exploring the Old Town, everything is within easy walking distance—no need for taxis or buses. The service truly stood out. Staff were genuinely warm and attentive, going above and beyond to make me feel welcome. In all my travels across Europe, this is hands down the best hospitality experience I've had at a hotel. As a Club Level guest, I had access to the exclusive lounge, where breakfast and evening canapés were served—both well-prepared and satisfying. Coffee was available throughout the day, perfect for early risers or late-night relaxations. The spa facilities are impressive too; while some premium treatments require an extra fee, the sauna, steam rooms, and wellness areas are thoughtfully designed and create a peaceful retreat. The room itself was comfortable and clean, with a spacious bathroom. It’s not the largest room, but it’s well-proportioned and functional. One minor downside? No balcony—but honestly, that didn’t detract from the overall experience. The fitness centre is large and well-equipped, with a good selection of machines and a lovely pool area. Just wish the closing time could be extended a little later into the evening. Overall, this hotel delivers on every front—location, views, service, amenities, and atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Edinburgh. I’ll definitely come back here next time.
Virgin Hotels Edinburgh
Staying at Virgin Hotels Edinburgh was an absolute highlight of my trip to Edinburgh. The room, though not large, felt incredibly cozy and thoughtfully designed—clean, well-maintained, and full of little touches that made it feel like home. I loved the mini-bar with a great selection of soft drinks, and the fact that water, coffee, and tea bags were all complimentary—it’s such a nice perk for travelers. The hotel’s bold red-themed interior is stunning from top to bottom; every corner feels like a photo-worthy moment, whether you’re in the lobby or wandering the hallways. It’s perfect for those who love capturing moments on camera. Plus, being just steps away from Victoria Street makes exploring the city so convenient—perfect for a relaxed citywalk, grabbing a bite, or snapping some street photography. Everything about this stay was seamless, stylish, and genuinely enjoyable. Definitely worth returning to.
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.
W Edinburgh
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.
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.
Old Town Chambers, Autograph Collection
Staying at Old Town Chambers was an absolute delight. Right in the heart of Royal Mile, the hotel offers unbeatable location—your window faces the church, and you’re just a short walk from everything. From the train station, avoid the stairs; take the longer route up—it’s worth it. It takes about 8 minutes to reach the property, but the journey is pleasant. The apartment itself is well-equipped with a full kitchen and a washing machine, perfect for preparing light meals or doing laundry. The bedding was incredibly comfortable—great sleep quality throughout. The only minor downside? The shower pressure could be stronger, but considering it’s a historic building, that’s understandable. Overall, this is a fantastic choice if you want a stylish, central stay with charm and convenience. Highly recommended!
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.
