Visiting from the U.S., this was our first trip to Edinburgh and Scotland. We could not have asked for a lovelier place to stay. Perfect location off the Royal Mile and all the sights we wanted to see (Edinburgh castle, Holyrood, museums, etc.) and a minute from Waverly train station. Our room was fantastic with an enchanting turreted window that had a nice couch and complimentary drams of Scotch Whisky. Clean and beautiful, comfortable beds, fabulous bathroom, all the amenities, and the staff was helpful and professional. We will recommend to all our friends: Stay at the Scotsman!

One of the best apart-hotels we've stayed - complete facilities whether you eat out or have take-aways. Location was excellent...at the Royal Mile- staff was great and very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended - will definitely stay again when we go back to Scotland.

large spacious apartment in the best location possible. Booked accidentally (price wasn't clear on Agoda website), so I wasn't happy with how much I paid, but that is beyond the control of the staff who were all great.

We had a lovely stay at the George Hotel. The staff were friendly and very helpful at all times. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Our only criticism is that there is no bar fridge in the room to chill any drinks or water purchased. We found this to be a common occurrence throughout Scotland.

Great central location but nearby parking quite expensive (£18/day hotel in same street or £2:50/hr, max 4 hrs around corner). Some parking nearby free 17:30-08:30 if spaces available (mostly resident permit holders only). Ideal for traveler using public transport. Mattress springs bit old but hotel peaceful and staff pleasant and helpful 24 hours a day. Tea, coffee and milk sachets included and very convenient fridge and cooking facilities in studios. Ample and modern wardrobe space a bonus! Shower room very good, but shower cabin not recommended for people exceeding 100kg :) Basement table tennis and pool must not be missed, gym also available. Do check out Marco's bar next door, there are discounts for residents at this hotel on pool tables and pizza (30%off!!), gluten free available! I accidentally left my bag with my personal belongings there and retrieved it the following day with no problems. We would definitely book there again. :-)

We enjoyed our stay at Knights Residence at the beginning of our trip to Scotland. The hotel has a convenient and reasonably priced car park, very helpful for us since we had a car in order to visit other parts of the country later in the trip. We received a very warm welcome from Chris, the manager on duty. The hotel provides some basics on arrival - bread, milk, tea, coffee - very thoughtful! Tesco is around the corner. The unit had a nice apartment style layout, with a nice assortment of entertainment and full kitchen (the reason for my 5 rating). The location is very convenient, there are good restaurants nearby, and it's an easy walk to get to Edinburg Castle. All in all this hotel is a good value, the rooms are impeccably clean and the location is convenient. We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night, on Friday night the neighborhood was noisy due to some nearby bars, this was the only negative. I highly recommend Knights Residence and would stay again.

Great! Simply Great for an affordable price! Hotel management knows their differences compared to other city hotels, and they are trying their best to cover up those differences. The room was wonderful with all the amenities provided with regard to its price. Layout of the room was good too, not too narrow, and the wide bathroom. Also the view from the windows was open and freshing. Making you feel that you are in Edinburgh. Good Wi-Fi as well. Breakfast is same in every and each hotel, traditional scottish. Lifts were reliable and quick. It might seem a little further up the city centre compared to others but actually just 7 mins walk and we were on The mile end. Car parking is limited, but the street is available until 8:30 in the mornings. Only few stains in the bathtub is the negative thing we could say. The toileteries were wonderful btw. I wouldn't think for a minute if I 'd go to Edinburgh again.

Two of us stayed in the Victorian house hotel, mid Feb 2019, for 4 nights. We booked the super king sized room (although, I think we got the king sized room as we had wooden floors, this was not an issue for us at all). Things that were great: Lovely building with lots of character. Location of the hotel was perfect, about 3 min walk and you’re on a main road (Sauchiehall St) in the centre where there are lots of restaurants/cheap eats and couple of mini supermarkets. About a 10 min walk from coach station. Less than 5 min walk to nearest bus stop. Staff were great, welcoming if you have any queries but will give you space otherwise. Our room including the bathroom was very clean and the cleaning staff does a great job. Very easy to stay comfortable in your room. Our room had central heating/radiators which we could change the temp and we had access to windows we could slightly open to get some fresh air in. Bed was super comfy, if I had the choice I probably would’ve spent all day in it! Food was as expected really, nothing special but satisfying enough. They provided hot food (English breakfast items) and a selection of cold items (fruits, cereals, croissants, yoghurts etc), together with a hot/cold drinks machine which you help yourself too. TV was good, didn’t watch much but had a remote. Tea/coffee facilities in the room were also handy. They supplied enough toiletries (soaps, plastic cups, toilet roll) Things to think about it/stuff that can’t be helped: We were staying as they were doing some renovations. Didn’t cause any problems for us at all and they had signs everywhere to warn us and apologise, which was nice. I presume if you came by car you wouldn’t have much space for parking near the hotel as the on road parking spaces were always full (worth calling first to find out more about this as we came by coach). Very studenty area (as you’re down the road to The Glasgow School of Art). Things that could be improved: Apart from an open clothes

I booked the junior suite and believe it was very good value for money. The receptionist was very accommodating and helpful throughout. The room is more or less standard size of a hotel room, however, it comes with a kitchen which is seperate from the sleeping area. As I spent over a week in Edinburgh it was very convenient to be able to store food in the fridge and cook some small dishes, rather than having to head out for every meal. The Haymarket station is within 5-8 minutes walking distance, depending on one's walking pace. The 100 Airlink bus shuttles 24\7 to and from the airport and takes about 25 minutes. Very handy! The city centre is also within walking distance and takes about 10 - 15 minutes by foot, which is well wort it as along the route you get to see some beautiful architecture and get a sense of the city vibe. I really enjoyed my stay and would book it again if my work commitments require me to go to Edinburgh once more.

I have never been to a hotel where the staff are so friendly, and welcoming. The spa facilities and pool are perfect. The pool is like jumping into a warm bath, magical when it’s nippy outside. The beds are super comfy, the rooms are luxurious and very clean, the shower is fab. Also the breakfast, wow this will set you up for the day, there is everything you could possibly wish for. What more can I say, apart from I can’t wait for another trip to Scotland so I can go back.

If you travel from/to Edinburgh airport with the airlink100 bus, same stops just in front of the hotel (both ways)- use Westend stop. Easy!. But apart from that, with its location just at the west end of Princess Street, one is in the heart of Edinburgh at more affordable rates. Just opposite the hotel is a Sainsbury local store - easy for snacks! And a bar, the Grosvenor, which serves good pub-food. The hotel itself is well organised: check-in takes seconds (!) as all paperwork is already prepared and waiting. Staff is friendly. Rooms are big enough, comfortable and have iron and iron board, hairdryer and safe. We stayed at 2 different dates (begin and end of our Scotland tour) and would stay at the hotel again if we would visit Edinburgh again. Recommended.

We found this Hotel to be very convenient for our purposes. The Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Any extra items i.e. towels coffee etc. were obtained from the desk without any problem. The rooms were very clean and serviced every day. As it was very hot and no A/C in room, it became a bit uncomfortable to sit in the room for any length of time. I suppose it was unusually hot for Edinburgh, so couldn't be helped. The only problem with room was the total lack of drawer space, but apart from that, perfectly adequate. It is a very conveniently placed hotel within a few minutes walk of most amenities and only 5 minutes walk to Princes Street. Overall we had a pleasant stay at this hotel and would recommend it to anyone.

I'm really not used to writing comments about hotels or B&B but POINT A is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed having traveled around the world. Everything is just in place. Gary the guy at the front desk is out of this world. He's always on tap to get you anything you want accompanied with a lovely smile. I had to jokingly but seriously asked him if he barely caught a shut eye amidst his activities. The lady in the restaurant whose name I cannot remember right now can be likened to a bulldozer. Also always at alert to welcome the guests and ask them what they want. The hotel is highly organized, extremely clean and cosy. Most importantly, it is situated in the center of town which is a stone throw to a beehive of activities. Any time I'm in Glasgow, I won't look anywhere else. Mark Stevenson Fuo. {Brazil}

The breakfast was great, service was excellent. We traveled Scotland by train using Glasgow as our base so Alexander Thompson Hotel was perfectly located down the street from Central Station

this was one of the best stay we ever had for Europe trips. The apartment is nicely size. With a nice sofa area, a full kitchen with all the utensils, bowls and plates. There was oven and a washing machine. Toilet is good size too. The Tv screen had helpful information and the staffs were very friendly and helpful. Prior to this we stayed in a 4 stars hotel in London and we think this is way better. Location is within walkable distance to sights and shops. only feedback we have is the bed is abit hard. But that’s just our bed preference. Overall we Would definitely recommend this place to any one who will be visiting edinburgh.

The location of the hotel is a bit of a walk from the main train station. For travellers with big luggages, cab will be the best option. Room is very comfortable, cosy and clean. Hotel does not have a lift, travellers with big and or multiple bags should request for ground level rooms. No laundry services and food services (other than breakfast) in the hotel, the nearest being a walk away. Hotel has a left-luggage option and are helpful in booking cabs to airport. Good pit-stop for travelling around Edinburgh and the highlands.

The room I booked online was not the same for its square meter and it was not looking to a day light. In the picture I had from Agoda, There was a nice window and sofa Room service takes 30 - 45 minutes for a wine and never the orders came in rightly. First night dinner at the restaurant I asked first 250 ml red wine and then a glass came in and I thought it was the half but then I re-ordered this time 250 and it came with caraf but they charged me for both 250 ml in total 500 ml. I tried to explain them and their explanation was they poured the 250ml caraf into one wine glass. 250 ml caraf wine probably will not fit into a glass. I did not make it a real problem and left.Then I had order an other one to my room next day, 250ml, came as a bottle. But the last is the best, they have charged me that bottle twice to my receipt, and although had breakfast for one, charged 2 people because I am in twin room. If I had not checked, it would go to my credit card and I got no apologies...

Enjoyed our stay. Have experienced some very poor and expensive hotels in Scotland. This hotel has been very good.

The hotel was very well located and a great base from which to leave on a sort tour of Scotland.

I laugh at the reviews that describe the "dated" decor and amenities. The suite we had was spacious and charming and provided everything we needed. We had a huge, well-appointed bathroom. We had to move around the space heaters to warm it up a bit but so what? If we had wanted a cookie cutter chain hotel we would have booked it. Ugh. This hotel was grand and beautiful. We were transported back in time which added to the charm, mystique, and character of our first stay in Scotland and the staff was SOOO welcoming and accommodating. I will gladly stay here again!

The Carlton hotel couldn't have been better. We could walk pretty much anywhere we wanted within minutes (royal mile, hop-on-hop-off bus tour, train station, restaurants, shopping. If I ever get back to Scotland I won't stay anywhere else. We ordered room service and the food and prices were as good as anywhere I've ever stayed. If you want a clean room at a good price that's close to everything you couldn't find anywhere better than the Carlton.

Ideally located near Scotland city centre and tube/bus station. Very clean and value for money.

The hotel has a interesting history and warm feel a home away from home. A nice little in-house bar and multiple lounge areas. The rooms were a good size although our room was below street level with limited natural light, I would recommend asking for a room on the upper levels. The staff were great and secured expensive items that were left behind for a week to enable us to pickup on our departure out of Edinburgh. The location is fantastic easy walking to the centre and other main attractions. The best value for money in our trip to Scotland.

booked a short stay for Christmas shopping, the hotel is 5-10 mins from the end of Princess Street. The staff gave us a warm welcome,, the room was nice and warm and very clean. On the day of departure we asked if we could leave our suitcases as we still had a days shopping to do. No problem. When we returned to the hotel on the evening we were asked if we wanted to help ourselves to tea or coffee from the library even though we had checked out on the morning. We will certainly use this hotel again and have already recommend it to some of our friends. Excellant customer service.

The Waldorf Astoria Caledonian Hotel is a classic traditional hotel with all the amenities one needs. Ideal location to accommodate overseas guests and ‘wow’ them with Scotland and Edinburgh’S charm. .

We booked the 2 bed Apartment for 2 nights and 3 days. The check in was smooth and efficient, the apts have a secure underground car park for which you are given a fob for entry in and out. This took the hassle of city parking away and the cost, there is an excellent bus service 100 yds or so up the road which cost £1.60 single per adult and took you straight into the city centre, a journey of around 20mins or so. The apartment itself was fab! Clean, spacious, bright and airy and as we were on the 5th floor, we had amazing views of the harbour and beyond to the River Carron. All higher floors easily accessible by lift which also took you down to the car park should you need. Handy for taking luggage in as its so near to the lift. The only thing I would say to improve the apartment further is ( ours was room B23) both bedrooms need a basic unit in front of the full length mirror and a stool or chair in order to dry hair and apply makeup etc as I'm not able to stand to do this and the light in the main bathroom isn't suitable? Seems minor but to ladies this is quite important! T

My husband and I stayed in early April for the weekend and were greeted by a glass of complimentary champagne. The rooms are all bespoke, our room had a “Rio” theme and featured carnival photos and Christ the Redeemer covered one wall. The full Scottish breakfast featured haggis and potato scones and was delicious. The bar was very busy in the afternoon with locals having to book a table! The only drawback was the nightclub that is underneath the bar and was as you would expect very noisy on Saturday night. The hotel does provide a sleep pack featuring ear plugs and a pillow spray. As it happened a full day walking around Edinburgh was enough to wear us out, so we had no need of the sleep pack. The staff were very attentive and willing to help store luggage etc if needed.

First time in UK and Scotland, we went there for honeymoon trip. Apex waterloo location is perfect as it close to waverley station and any other attractions including cartlon hill, edinburgh castle, etc everything are on walking distance. The room itself is pretty small considering we have 2 big luggages. The bathroom was pretty big i suppose but no bathtub. The bed was the highlight of this hotel, it was really comfortable and we slept like a baby.

Best thing about this hotel is the location. If you are a tourist that's the best thing for you. You can walk from Waverly railway station or bus station even with some luggage. Also if you have booked with Rabbies for Scotland tour then it's located next door. I didn't have food here. But this review page forces you to put some rating. Check in and checking out were hassle free and fast, sleep quality was good. Elevator is bit old and creaky. Hot water was available all the time. Wifi was free and worked well. All in all a comfortable stay and would recommend it to others who have similar needs as mine

Have stayed her before, and still one of our best hotels, room on the small side. But was sufficient for our two night stay, Tea & Coffee, Fridge, Hairdryer, and very clean. Bus right outside hotel front door, into Edinburgh city centre, first class breakfast each morning, something for everyone, from cereal to a full cooked. Would recommend if staying in Edinburgh.
