Motel in Edinburgh

“Rooms are nice, exquisite and very comfortable. I would say this is affordable luxury. All of the staff are very pleasant and polite. They always want to help, no matter what. Not forgetting that breakfast is free and really nice. You can move around the ship for some sight seeing and we also got two free tickets to see the Britannia Yatch (Tickets can be transferred or used at anytime). The location is quiet. It was indeed a floating experience”

“What an incredible stay at Ocean Mist. I could easily write several pages, but I won’t spoil too much for others — all I can say is wow. From the moment you step aboard you’re greeted by friendly, smart staff. The décor is second to none; every meticulous detail is either hand-crafted or clearly created with real thought. The cabins are pristine, and everything you could possibly need is there. Even the hand-stamped toilet rolls, folded into little sailboats, were a magnificent touch. Evening drinks on the bridge were a highlight, with some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had and attentive staff who genuinely went the extra mile. Breakfast was unreal — the cheese and bacon bread especially went down a treat. I was fascinated by the history, so I spent some time looking through the photo books and learning the story behind the vessel, and I’m so glad I did. At breakfast I recognised a familiar face, and realised it was the owner’s son. Being part of the project, he took the time to talk with us — a humbling, memorable experience. William is a credit to his family: bright, intelligent and passionate. It was refreshing to see someone so invested in both the heritage and the guest experience. Mr Pedley, you should be incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved. To Alan and Nadia — your son William is a testament to your hard work and values. I can’t wait to recommend Ocean Mist to my clients, and I’m excited to see your future projects. Thank you for the hospitality and the unforgettable experience. We will be back.”

“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!”

“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.”

“What an amazing place to stay! Grateful to have found Hapimag. A short 10 minute walk to Princes Street and everything around. 20 min walk to Edinburgh Castle and 45 minute walk to Holyrood Palace (end of Royal Mile) so everything we wanted to see was in walking distance from here. Beautiful hotel. Everything about it was just great. Room was fantastic. Wife and daughter kept saying it reminded them of a Jane Austen movie. Decor was wonderful, beds were super comfy. Our room included two single Murphy beds that the kids used while we had our own master bedroom. Plenty of room to just sprawl out and enjoy the space. Would highly recommend for a stay in Edinburgh!”

“Great food and the attentive staff especially a lovely lass named Ruby who is top class and very efficient and friendly.”

“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.”

“I N C R E D I B L E. Booked us an Afternoon Tea experience, and then we were able to have a whiskey in the Whiskey Room — absolutely perfect time! The service is impeccable, the property is beautiful, and every detail is noted — truly, flawless! Thank you for a lovely splurge and excellent date afternoon.”

“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.”

“This is my favorite hotel in Edinburgh. Quiet and tranquil with gorgeous Arthur’s Seat views. The staff here are amazing, hospitable, friendly, they go out of their way to help and are especially concerned about guests who may be choking or coughing while eating. The rooms are modern and clean and the beds are comfortable, windows can open for fresh air. The food is excellent and the cozy space is homey. It’s adjacent to the Scott hotel, with its lush velvet lounge and posh brasserie, giving Downton Abbey vibes.”

“After having stayed in Whitworth Locke before in Manchester and having such a good experience, we decided to book this hotel in Edinburgh for my birthday trip! And we’re so glad we did! The rooms are beautiful as they always are in Locke hotels, the cafe downstairs was great. And staff were lovely and friendly! The lady that checked us in was particularly incredible! After having a sleepless night we arrived to the hotel a lot earlier than check in time and we were dreading having to stay out all day running on empty. We asked if there was any chance early check in was available and she allowed us to check in a lot earlier as our room was ready! We were really grateful for this and really appreciate hotels that offer little extras for guests! Thank you :)”

“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.”

“Small and quiet hotel, with very friendly staff and good food. Room was clean, cozy and beautiful. Loved to read the newspaper at the sitting room while sipping a cup of tea. There is free hotel car park”

“Split level apartment relatively well equipped with breakfast hamper a nice touch! Our hob was broken so we had a portable one for the 9 days we stayed, a little inconvenient as it took up more space but still functional for making meals. Good wifi. Good water pressure and temp in shower. Bedrooms are small but functional. Note there are no windows to open for breeze. Was granted access to do laundry due to length of stay. Staff was very friendly and checked in daily if we needed anything. Location is perfect in the center of town, next door to the museum and across the street from The Cross and Palace. Would recommend and would stay again.”

“Lovely place, lovely staff, excellent service. I had to spent an unexpected extra night in Scotland because of a car breakdown, and they were the first place that had room for a family of 6. Location is excellent, great views from the lodge. Staff very friendly and great service. It made me wish I was a golfer so I would have a genuine reason to come back.”

“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!”

“Lovely clean,spacious rooms.Ate in The Pub.Food,drink and service really good.We were served by Emma who was lovely,very friendly and smiley.Would definately stay here again.”

“Our wedding reception dinner at The Bonham was splendid. The staff were exceptionally helpful and worked with us beforehand to make sure everything went perfectly. The dinner itself was quite possibly the finest we’ve experienced. The food was delicious, and the service was seamless. Cannot recommend enough, and we will be returning if we’re ever in Edinburgh again.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Great service absolutely beautiful hotel and grounds. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. It is also only 8 min from the train station to Edinburg. Little tip....parking is free at the station and easy to navigate. Train is the way to go with an off and on all day tour bus pass.”

“Stopped in for lunch on the off chance. Highly recommended. The service was great, the food was amazing. If only I could have squeezed in a dessert... Perfect for a post walk rest. If you're within visiting distance, you won't regret it.”

“We came for Sunday lunch. The food was very good. The service was discrete and there when you needed it. We're there tiny niggles, of course, the potatoes served with my roast beef were not Roux standard, the asparagus risotto was a bit tight and lacked a bit of zing. The vegetarian courses lacked protein. But these are tiny things in a tapestry of happiness, from the entry, to the coffee, to the pics in the lovely garden it was a day's life in a country mansion and we left very pleased. We loved the lounge with the books and fire and could happily have stayed forever.”

“We arrived for a family birthday celebration ( 13 of us ) and from the start to finish it was the best dining experience we have had, the staff are fantastic and the food was 10/10. Think some of these so called top Edinburgh restaurants need to have a look at how to look after people like this. Well done all !”

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

“It may seem like a cold place, but the services, rooms, and cuisine make it wonderful. Unfortunately the town has no interesting sites to offer, but the hotel is absolutely excellent. The cuisine is also spectacular: top-notch!”

“We had a lovely visit to The Ivy for high tea with friends. From the moment we arrived, we received a warm welcome, and the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed afternoon together. A special mention goes to Joe, who gave us outstanding customer service. He was friendly, smiling throughout, and really helpful — he communicated clearly about our order and made sure everything was just right. The food was fresh and delicious, as always. Overall, a wonderful experience, and we’ll definitely be coming again.”
