"Edinburgh is very chaotic/touristy on the Royal Mile and this was right in the chaos, however, it felt very safe & the room itself was very spacious, clean & worth the price for it all. I had to contact them once for directions and they answered right away and were super helpful. It sucks there are stairs you have to carry your luggage up and the luggage room was on the first floor, very small/crowded & right next to our apartment room door, but it didn’t seem to get too loud or an issue when...

Top Vennel Steps Hotel Reviews

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"1). Superlative location close to rail, tram, & bus connections. 2). Rooms are undeniably small, BUT clean, quiet, and with comfortable beds, fluffy towels. We rested very well! I thought the hall carpet looked a bit scruffy. 3). We didn't sample other amenities, but tea & coffee are at reception and are good. 4) We did wonder what the plan was for exit in the event of fire. This should be clearly notified IMHO"

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was quiet, clean, and had lovely shampoo, conditioner, bath & body wash, and skin cream in the room. It was convenient to walk to Waverley station, the tram and bus stops, New Town, and Old Town. The staff was so helpful and kind to keep our luggage before check in and following check out. I would stay here again."

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."

Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Easy checkin . Hotel is beautiful with tons of amenities in hotel. Had room with view of Edinburgh Castle which was beautiful ! Spacious room- breakfast was amazing with both hot and cold options. We had a car and paid minimal fee for parking. Hotel located in heart of downtown Edinburgh"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time in Edinburgh and our first European trip. The hotel is wonderful! Everyone was very pleasant upon our arrival. The cozy room was in fact cozy. The room was well stocked with everything you would need. Hairdryer with attachments, clothing steamer Nespresso machine tea kettle. The air conditioning worked great. The room was quiet and dark at night. The bed was very comfortable. If coming from the United States remember that in Europe hotel rooms are not as large as we are used to. This is the perfect size. You’re in the middle of it all. Everything is within walking distance. The tram stop is right up the road on Princes street. Maybe a 8 minute walk. Waverly station is across the street. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Edinburgh."
