Moxy Edinburgh Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great hotel! My son thought the bathroom was a bit small but I thought it was perfect. Everything you need within arm’s reach. The staff was super helpful and the food and bar were great! We didn’t expect such good food at an airport hotel. Finally the short walk to the terminal was perfect. So convenient! And there is an great airport bus you can catch across the street to get to the center of the Edinburgh. We would stay here again!"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really loved this hotel due to its proximity to all the main areas and the views to the castle were incredible. Try to get a 4th or 5th floor room and an odd number for the best views of Edinburgh Castle. Restaurants were on the street below and plenty of choices. Keep in mind there is no a/c but that’s common. Staff was excellent and room was cleaned each day. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton
