Ten Hill Place
"AMAZING staff! Very clean rooms. Only let down was the breakfast and that was still very nice. Just not up to the same level of excellence of the rest of the hotel. I would stay again."

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club
"Quite aged, tired, and for the price you pay, poor value for money. Only redeeming feature are the grounds and amenities. Rooms are tired, worn, and not noise proof. Staff loading + unloading an event at 1am making alot of noise. Slamming doors etc, not alot of noise insulation. Stayed for 2 nights ..."
