Top Museum on the Mound Hotel Reviews

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are friendly and helpful the rooms are nice and clean good washroom facilities there was frequent event such as"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"A lovely hotel, well situated in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. But while that's a good thing overall, it has a slight downside in that the area is quite busy and noisy . . . may be hard to sleep. Be sure you ask for a room NOT overlooking the Castle . . . I know, I know, that's a huge part of the appeal, but you'll thank me at bedtime! But on balance, a fine choice for your Edinburgh stay."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"Perfect location for Castle, with steep steps or steep uphill walk to get to it. Car park big advantage but get there early as got full by 3pm on day I went. You can use the other Apex hotel car park a very short distance down on the street. Very helpful and friendly staff on reception and at breakfast. Twin room a good size but not massive, bathroom has separate shower and bath which is so much better than shower in bath. All cleaned to high standard. Usual kettle tea and coffee with milk in fridge Breakfast discount available on the day and 2 free drinks vouchers given which was appreciated. One of the best buffet breakfasts I have had and could order from a breakfast menu as well so you should never go hungry. Excellent value for money in a busy city hotel"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Hotel was conveniently situated on Princes Street and an oasis of calm that n high season August festival time. On the front desk Anson was friendly, helpful, and professional."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"El staff fue muy receptivo y amable, a pesar que llegamos muy tarde en la noche y estaban cerrando el bar, nos atendieron con mucha amabilidad y nos trajeron algo para comer. Estamos agradecidas por eso. Tambien la persona que nos recibió fue muy eficiente y hablaba español, con lo cual fue más fácil entendernos."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was perfect! Great service and good food. The room was clean and modern."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Staffs are nice"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel in a great location. The breakfast buffet is not included in the price unless you specifically arrange it. This was unclear as the buffet is in a public space with no signage or staff person standing guard. As one of many hotels I booked for this trip, I was unclear if breakfast was included or there was an extra charge, and whether I had paid it if so. Someone will come over after you’ve sat down to ask your room number, but it would be better to have clear signage or someone checking as you walk in to avoid awkwardness. Additionally, it would have been great if the person checking us in had confirmed our breakfast payment or lack thereof."

Stay Central

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel. Great location, excellent staff, fun little gems all over the hotel. Loved the larger than average hotel bath towels. Hotel is located next to an outdoor bar but on the 2nd floor we didn't hear much of it and it didn't bother us. Wo8ld 100% stay here again. Now one of my favorite hotels."
