Top St. Giles' Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location!"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"The rooms are not as big as they appear in the pictures, our reservation was for a king size bed, it was a queen, but the rooms were clean"

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

8/10 Good

"Great location and helpful staff"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The view in front of the hotel is breathtaking, the castles stands on a hill standing proudly as if saying … I am still here. The hotel is surrounded by old beautiful buildings but inside they offer restaurants and Art exhibits. The street behind the hotel are loaded with souvenir shops."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really comfortable room in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. We loved our stay overall and thought the staff at reception and throughout the hotel were great. The only thing I’d say is that the minibar replenishment was intermittent. While it was supposed to be refilled every day, we found that wasn’t the case, and finding a solution wasn’t straightforward when flagged with reception."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Food and beer are great! Super friendly staff and our room was very clean!"

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was very speedy. Room was nice with small kitchenette with dishes. Studio room bed is either a Murphy bed or pull out couch so bed was average. Pillows were nice. Rooms fairly sound proof. Location of this hotel is top notch and would stay again based solely on that."

Stay Central

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, good location"

Old Waverley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located"
