Top Greyfriar's Bobby Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"What a gorgeous hotel in a fabulous location, right on the Royal Mile. Lovely room, quiet despite the central position of the hotel. Would definitely recommend this hotel ! Will stay again when I return to Edinburgh"

Britannia Hotel Edinburgh

4/10 Poor

"Péssima experiência. A informação que os funcionários são multilingues, é mentirosa; o lixo ficou no quarto por três noites, eu o retirei; não houve limpeza no quarto e nem reposição do café, chá. Por descuido, não verifiquei que não tinha geladeira no quarto na hora de contratar, o que para mim é imprescindível, posto que faço uso de medicamento que precisa de refrigeração, e o gelo que transporto necessita de freezer, resultado, se disponibilizaram a colocar na geladeira, mas não tinham freezer, no dia seguinte quando fui pegar o medicamento, não tinha sinais que estava refrigerado, por segurança, solicitei gelo todos os dias, pela manhã e a noite para manter o meu medicamento próprio para o uso, e até nesse momento, sentia um pouco de má vontade. O transporte público no local é bem precário, e os funcionários não sabem dar informações sobre horários do ônibus, etc. Eu gosto de andar, então, não foi um problema, mas para quem não gosta, melhor pensar, e se alguém usar medicamento que precisa de geladeira, passem longe. Andares e elevadores imundos, cortina do banheiro imunda.... Um hotel três estrelas tem obrigação de ser limpo, ter uma geladeira, e retirar o lixo. Não me alimentei no hotel, portanto, não posso opinar sobre as refeições."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Best air conditioning we had on our trip. The location is perfect. The rooftop terrace is very nice and we enjoyed the great views each night. Would highly recommend this hotel. The restaurant service was very bad however. I know they like to let people linger and enjoy but that normally comes after the meal not before you order."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location with decently sized rooms, a very good breakfast and a remarkably comprehensive gym. Staff were excellent and helpful. Only issue is that some areas look a bit work but it seems a renovation is underway. Perhaps related to that, one of two main elevators was not in service but at least the elevator operating was large and fairly fast so no major queues."
