Top Greyfriars Kirk Hotel Reviews

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Good for the price, although during the Festival it is considerably more expensive than when I tried it out for 1 night about 4 months ago. My only niggle is, could have more room in the shower, or a sliding door so one part of the area can stay dry. You will get your clothes wet from the floor when getting dressed"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great loca"

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

10/10 Excellent

"We choose Wilde Aparthotels in Grassmarket at the base of Edinburg Castle for a short visit in August, the peak of Festival Season. The location was ideal, virtually all of the city was walkable from the front door. We arrived 3 hours before check-in. The staff was warm and accommodating. They stowed our luggage, then contacted us as soon as our room was ready. We selected the 1 bedroom apartment, with a king bedroom and a pull out couch in the living room. It was absolutely spotless. The three of us were very comfortable. The master mattress was firm, but comfortable. The pull out couch featured two separate single beds, which was very nice (particularly for older siblings who don't want to sleep in the same bed). The room was very well appointed, the kitchen had a toaster & electric kettle, microwave, small hob, pots & pans, and storage, even a dishwasher. There was cream in the refrigerator for tea/coffee & a selection of teas, coffee were provided. There were guest laundry facilities, a fitness center, and a small pantry for snacks & beverages. The bathroom was efficient with a stand up shower (rain head & spray hose), vanity with storage. Plenty of towels. Housekeeping was every 4 days, or could be added for a fee. Staff was available onsite 24-hours. Our room was on the first floor (2nd floor if you're American) facing the castle. If you travel in August, request a higher floor. The only issue was street noise (people, not traffic), late at night after Fringe Fest."

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."

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."
