Top Craigmillar Castle Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"It required a lot of steps to access the front desk and the breakfast area. While the outside ramp was useful for the front desk, it was no help with the breakfast area. (My wife has a bad hip and needs a cane.) The location was excellent and Grassmarket Park was lovely."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel. The location was perfect. The staff members were all friendly and helpful. The room was clean and well appointed."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed two nights in the double wee room. It is not that wee after all - surprisingly generous with the space, in fact, with a large double bed (composed of two half-mattresses). The hotel defines the center (one sees the Burns monument in front) and is quite pretty in an old-school, Britannia kind of way (with Scottish green tones as the main color). Extremely quiet (non-view room), all amenities working as intended (tea / coffee / choco maker in room; tv, old-school phone; iron & board etc.). Perhaps a wider partition in the shower would ensure less spillage. Shower with movable head (good pressure & temp controls). Breakfast is prettily presented with basic options: full English, sandwich, fruit and some interesting health-juices. Decent hours (to 10/10:30 am). Otherwise restaurant with a 20% discount coupon found in your room. Staff friendly and efficient. Rooms cleaned daily, without having to ask. I will definitely return."

The Scholar

8/10 Good

"The lack of air conditioning forced us to open windows, and the area around the hotel had students walking and talking after hours waking us up from sleep. The area around the hotel was very beautiful and relaxing for us."

Edinburgh Travel Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly I really liked this place. It was like having your own little apartment while on vacation. It’s within walking distance to everything but easily accessible to public transportation. The staff were so friendly and very helpful with the 1 million questions I had. The room comes with a fridge and hot water kettle to make coffee and tea which is so convenient. I really like this place. If I ever find myself back in Scotland will stay here."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Had an incredible stay! Everything was comfortable and so clean. The staff were wonderful, and the location cannot be beat. Can't wait to stay here again!"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for exploring old and “new” Edinburgh!! Right on the Royal Mile and less than 15 minutes to any and all the sites—- great pub restaurants immediately nearby at reasonable prices- really recommended!!"

Kildonan Lodge Hotel

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff but not that well maintained, could do with a bit of a revamp if it’s to deserve its 4 star rating. Perfectly fine for our stay, just needs refreshing."

Northumberland Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, no noise, breakfast not available, front desk staff were OK but gave no recommendations or asked if was our first time etc. Overall good experience and can recommend"
