The 30 Best Hotel in Edinburgh

“Our stay in Circus Lane was ideal. We have stayed in many self catering properties and this one certainly rates in the top three. Everything you needed to make your stay comfortable. We were met on arrival and shown where everything was. Many thanks for the flowers, lovely touch. Property was spotless and bed very comfortable . En suite shower superb. Situated within a few minutes walk to the shops and restaurants and walks along the river. Not far from the Botanical Gardens. Frequent buses if needed. Thank you Great Base, would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends.”

“My boy loves his holidays with Alison and John. They are extremely friendly and the care my boy gets from them is nothing but the best. I would highly recommend”

“An amazing service. I was very nervous leaving my cat while I went away but after I met Angela in the pre house visit I was put at ease. It is clear how much she loves animals and my usually timid cat went to her straight away...even climbed on her back. My cat was taking medication which was no problem for Angela and they sent me daily updates including pictures. I would not trust any other company to look after my girl! A***”

“Incredible customer service & attention to detail. Lucy from the store and the main delivery person went above & beyond to help us and provide exceptional customer service without the high pressured sale and because of this, I'd definitely go back as well as recommend them to others.”

“I recently rented a flat through Clouds, and the entire process was seamless, fast, and stress-free. From the initial inquiry to confirmation my lease, their team was incredibly responsive, professional, and helpful. What stood out: Lightning-fast responses – I had my flat secured within just a couple of days. Friendly and efficient staff – Always available to answer questions. Hassle-free experience – No unnecessary delays or complications, just smooth and transparent service. I highly recommend Clouds, five stars.”

“Excellent service as usual from Harry and Anne. Very professional and knowledgeable without being pushy. I've now got my new kittens(had 2 previously) to add to the family. Would highly recommend”

“I am a foreigner in Edinburg, looking for a clinic where can have my blood test for my life insurance need. The lady who are taking the blood from me was very gentle and helpful.”

“Absolutely loved my stay at Seabreeze B&B! Beautiful rooms with fantastic sea views. Salma was a wonderful host - even made sure that she had vegan items in for my breakfasts. She was very easy going and made sure I had everything I needed, whilst letting me feel at home. The decor and facilities are very well done to ensure a lovely, comfortable stay. I loved walking along Portobello beach, and the bus stop is super convenient next door to head into the city centre with no trouble. Would definitely stay here again!”

“Words can’t describe how wonderful this artsy boutique style hotel is! Just returned home after spending five fabulous nights at this beautiful gem of a hotel. Nothing has been overlooked, from the decor, design, furnishings, artwork - and on top if it all, a lovely whisky tasting bar/lounge that was truly elegant. The staff was extremely attentive and made sure that everything was perfect for us from the moment we arrived until our departure (inclusive of booking taxis and making hotel reservations). Will definitely be booking another stay at 24 Royal Terrace if given the opportunity to visit Edinburgh again.”

“Our stay at Ceilidh-Donia was wonderful! The staff were very kind and helpful, always ready to give advice and with a smile. Breakfast was delicious and varied, and the room was clean, tidy, and comfortable. The area is quiet and pleasant, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. There is a very good bus connection to the Royal Mile (about 15 minutes), and if you prefer walking, it’s around 30–40 minutes on foot. I highly recommend this place to anyone planning a stay in Edinburgh!”

“Beautiful rooms, well located and a beautiful part of Edinburgh. Lovely selection of complementary products. Comfortable bed and a great shower with excellent pressure which I feel some hotels lack. I had forgot to take my earings which I’d left on the dressing table. I contacted the hotel and Amy delt with my enquiry. She was extremely helpful and was quick to reply to my query. My earing have been returned very promptly of which I am thankful for as they have sentimental value. Thanks again Amy.”

“One of the greatest Hotels we've ever stayed. Fantastic beer packages (we enjoyed the beer school and our tap at the room), great food, friendly staff and overall a complete new and amazing experience. I wish an expansion of Doghouse Hotels all over the world!”

“Perfect stag accommodation. 14 guys in total, mostly from Trinidad, had a great time. Staff super friendly and made sure everything ran smooth providing taxis when needed. 24 hour access, great sound system, pool & football table, and two poles on the stage. What's not to like?!?!”

“Amazing location and massive apartment. Great facilities. Perfect for family of 4. Highly recommend this place. We would have stayed a second time when we came back from the highlands but they had a 2 night minimum stay.”

“For the last four years, I have received the highest standard of service from the 1Let team, who have managed the rental of my one bed flat. They have been exceptional. Professional, responsive, helpful and approachable by email and over the phone. I chose to let my flat with 1Let because of the commitment they expressed to providing top quality service for both landlords and tenants, and they have more than lived up to this. Having now sold my flat, it is time to say goodbye but I will gladly recommend 1Let to anyone looking to rent out a property in Edinburgh.”

“Extremely comfortable accommodation with lovely owners and spectacular views. Well positioned to explore the many East Lothian coastline locations as well as further afield.”

“By far one of the best hotels I have ever been to, Taia (unsure of spelling) the receptionist was the kindest sweetest person and made for hospitality. She made us feel so so welcome. Our Rooms facilities were INCREDIBLE the whole concept of the hotel is so chill and welcoming. Only teeny tiny little thing is the coffee could be replenished daily but that is me absolutely nitpicking. It was a perfect experience all around. (Wouldn’t recommend for young kids, seems more catered to adults/teens which I appreciated)”

“One of my favorite hotels I've stayed at! The room was so cozy and clean and I loved the privacy doors on the room and sliding wooden door for the window. The free mini bar was a nice touch as well as the champagne upon arrival, slippers and robes :) Only "downside" was that I wanted to stay in the room & relax instead of exploring. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, even after checkout they stored our bags for the day while we were in the city. Highly recommend.”

“Very helpful front desk. No lift but Karlite from the front office efficiently helped with all our 8 luggages. A cosy and clean place, the 2 bedroom apartment is spacious and centrally located.”

“Exceptional Service! I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Cornerstone Letting Agents. From the moment we went for the viewing, they displayed an unparalleled level of professionalism and understanding towards our circumstances. What truly sets Cornerstone Letting Agents apart is their remarkable efficiency. They wasted no time in addressing our needs, swiftly guiding us through every step of the process with clarity and expertise. Despite our unique situation, they demonstrated a genuine commitment to securing the apartment for us and helping to move in a very short period of time. Moreover, their attentiveness to our concerns and proactive communication ensured that we felt supported and informed throughout the entire rental process. It's rare to encounter a letting agency that genuinely cares about its clients, but Cornerstone Letting Agents certainly exceeded our expectations. Overall, I highly recommend Cornerstone Letting Agents to anyone looking to rent in Edinburgh. Their dedication, efficiency, and understanding make them a top choice.”

“I've been renting with Cullen Property , and I've had a really positive experience! The team is always super friendly and helpful, making the whole process smooth and easy. Any time I've had a question or needed something, they've been quick to respond and resolve it. The property itself is well-maintained, and any maintenance requests have been handled promptly. Honestly, they're a fantastic agency, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great rental experience! They're doing a great job.”

“The appartment was beautiful! Very bright and spacious. The location was really close to the old town and main attractions. We didn’t even use the bus, it was like 20 min walking distance. Definitely recommend!”

“Very nice space for a holiday. Close to Edinburg Castle and shops. Apartment was clean and tidy upon arrival! Would definitely stay again.”

“We used Edinburgh Airport Transfers for our transfers between the airport and our hotel. The company provided excellent communication regarding driver details and meeting locations, as well as accommodating changes to pickup times. Highly recommended.”

“First time visiting the Royal since family moved to Penicuik. Stopped by for some food. The portions were very generous and tasted amazing. The Haggis Balls were excellent and the Pulled Pork was too. Friendly service, prompt and a very nice establishment. Worth checking out when in town.”

“Had a lovely stay here, was a little concerned about plane noise, but didn't have any disturbance at all. The spa was very nice, and breakfast was good as well, and friendly staff throughout. The Christmas decorations really added to the vibe as well!”

“Nice and clean, pub onsite, staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Bus stop outside that goes to and from the city centre.”

“Absolutely perfect! The location is ideal. The rooms are impeccable. The staff, wow where to start? From the moment you walk in the staff is extremely welcoming kind and warm. The personnel at the bar is so friendly and fun, Leon & Lauren are the best, what a treat this stay was. I recommend 100%. Can’t wait to go back.”

“We had the perfect stay. On arrival our room was ready early and we had been upgraded. Every member of staff we met were welcoming and helpful. The Hotel is clean and comfortable. They have everything you need for your stay. Tea/ coffee tray, decent hairdryer, iron and ironing board. Location is perfect for all tourist attractions. Perfect hotel and we had a perfect stay. We can’t thank the staff enough for making our stay so nice.”

“Lovely place for a pint or two. The staff are so lovely and it is very kid friendly. Definitely recommend this place to anyone”
