1. Abbey Strand Apartments, at Holyrood

1 km from City Art Centre

"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes. We did have a mix-up with our booking, as the room was reserved for three people but didn’t have a sleeping option for the third guest. However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

Top City Art Centre Hotel Reviews

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"The central location on the Royal Mile was awesome. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go in town and see the sights without having to worry about driving or finding parking. The room was the perfect stop at the end of our busy days and had everything we needed."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Great location, 3 blocks from train and very close to the royal mile. They had a very good breakfast and elevator for luggage. We had our shower chord become detached last morning but they gave us free breakfast due to that. A little loud if you leave the window open as the rooms get hot. There was a homeless couple arguing at 6am in the alley so that was a bit annoying but part of being close."

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good

"Carpet in our room has seen better days, but the staff was excellent."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel so much!! Everyone was so incredibly kind and the room and bathroom were so nice! Location was absolutely perfect. Very central and you can literally see the castle from out front!"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location"

Market Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything about the hotel is excellent. Room, location, cleanliness. We just had a really rough check in. We had asked for an early check in months prior, and were told they would do everything to accommodate us. We arrived at 8:00am and weren’t given our room until 2:30. Checkout isn’t until 11, so expected 12 the latest. We were not given a time window and basically ignored in the beautiful lobby."

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent option without expending a lot of money. Very close to the main attractions and activities. Strategically located in front of Waverley station."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile
