Top Vennel Steps Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Central location trumps value. A very tired hotel in need of updating. Towels were scarce and no fridge were two downfalls. Breakfast was good with lots of selection."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"Our booking came with executive lounge access which included a full breakfast in the morning and nice reception each evening that provided a variety of drinks and a rotation of appetizers and salad which were enough to make a light meal from. We found this to be a nice perk to our stay - in addition to the 24/7 access to non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. The only tricky part of our stay was the elevator. For the first few days there was only one small elevator servicing the main lobby so there'd sometimes be long waits. The stairs were easily accessible though, and provided an easy way to avoid the elevator (at least on trips going down). It was also a little convoluted to get to the fitness room (i.e., requiring you to use a different elevator in another part of the building - not accessible from the ground floor), but easy enough to figure out once we figured out the round about way to get there. There was also a small flight of stairs in the middle of the floor we stayed on (perhaps others?). The hotel was in a perfect location on the Royal Mile and very easily accessible to the Edinburgh train station (albeit requiring a pretty long flight of stairs to get up to the right level - or a slightly longer walk to avoid the stairs). It would be great if the hotel could provide access to the hotel from the lowest level (i.e., the road level that the train station exit is at). The bar/lounge on the main level was really nice and our room was comfortable and clean."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Here’s a polished version of your review: The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, but it has a perfect location close to everything and offers beautiful views. The concierge and restaurant staff during breakfast were spectacular and treated us like royalty. We truly loved our stay. My only suggestion is that the hotel should inform guests in advance that it is under construction, as some areas can be noisy during the day. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience, and we would gladly return."
