"The property worked for our family of 5 stay; however, property does not have AC which would be important in the summer. Additionally, sleeping 5 meant sharing spaces as there is only a large great room / kitchen and the master bedroom with master bath. If you need a laundry you’ll have to reserve somewhere else. The location was the best attribute of this property. It is close to everything."

Top Castlehill Hotel Reviews

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel is unbeatable. Right by the train station and all the attractions are within a 15-20 minute walk. The staff are great as well, very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The only downside was the bathroom in our room. It’s just not a great design. Wouldn’t stop me from coming back though!"

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Clean comfortable good location. Everything you need🤗"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was close proximity to your needs and wants. If you are there for a day and just needed some rest every thing was right there."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"First Class experience from start to finish! The Virgin company, hands down, knows what they are doing when it comes to travel and hospitality, coming from someone who was once an executive of a 5 star luxury brand. Virgin Edinburgh was such a vibe. The whole aesthetic is sexy, sultry and ever so inviting. You are immersed in intrigue at every turn with the eccentric decor and vibrancy of color throughout the hotel. The staff, First Class from the moment we were greeted at the door, to check-in, the bar and each restaurant, to the housekeeping staff, excellence every step of the way. This brand does not miss a beat. We were celebrating two momentous occasions; 30 years married and my 50th Birthday and the thoughtful gestures extended were immensely appreciated by both myself and my husband. The hotel manager, unfortunately I didn’t get his name, even went as far as looking through several cases of whiskey just to find the certain numbered bottle my husband was looking to purchase. That in itself, to the extra mile, was above and beyond. Throughout our stay, there were so many of these little gestures that made my heart pitter patter and solidified my loyalty not only to this hotel in future travels but to the brand itself, Virgin. This company knows what personality makes the brand successful. Perfect location! Near Royal Mile & Victoria St. It’s on the higher price point but you get what you pay for. Book it! You won’t regret it!"

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Hotel was clean, breakfast was good with lots of options and all staff were very helpful and friendly. Would recommend and stay again."

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Location is amazingly convenient for the new town of Edinburgh. Staff were mostly really helpful and accommodating. But the bed in our room was very uncomfortable and we had a real issue one night with noise outside our room in the corridor. This was not repeated thankfully. One of our pillows was not clean - sadly only noticed on the last night."

The Hoxton, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Hotel was easy to find, staff were all exceptional and rooms were clean. Things to be aware of…they have rooms in the main building and rooms in the building across the street. Buildings are secure and safe, however you cannot take drinks across the street so if you want a glass of wine in bed it’s not possible. Also parking is about a10-15min walk from the hotel."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Really great experience. Excellent location."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

8/10 Good

"Hotel was nice enough. The room we were in had wallpaper coming up at the seams, moths were flying in the room, and the bed was not very comfortable. Food that we ate there was good."
