Old Town Edinburgh, 1.5 km from National Library of Scotland

"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 National Library of Scotland Hotel Reviews

The Scott

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this property, the bar, restaurant, and staff. Lovely, quiet, and comfortable. Bus stop right across the street to get into the old town."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"There was a very musty smell in the room. The location of the hotel was pretty central for everything we wanted to do. The staff was very friendly as well."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most wonderful stay. I purchased the birthday package for my husbands 40th and it was exactly as described. You could beat the views and location of this motel as well."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"1"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel that is very conveniently located."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Overall, this was a great property to stay at if you are visiting Edinburgh for the first time. Located within walking distance of public transit and many of the popular sights, making it a convenient choice. Stay didn’t blow me away, but was good enough to meet our needs. Towels and sheets were changed daily, which was nice, but sometimes appears to be dirty (specks of black on towels and sheets). We requested a quieter room, which seemed to help reduce noise."

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and amenities good. However, no window made it claustrophobic, especially as it was called a premium room?! Luckily was only there for one night."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for sight seeing in Edinburgh"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Everything from the beginning of our stay was amazing. Archie at the front desk is an asset to your company and deserves a large raise. We are from the United States and never felt more welcome from the minute we stepped in this hotel. I'm pretty sure It had to do with Archie at the front desk his personality and love for his job made our stay one of the best. As for a woman at the front desk was not nice to my husband one of the days we were there. We are here in Scotland for another 4 weeks and hope to meet more people like Archie. His knowledge of where to go what to do and what to see was perfect. I must add the room was clean , big & the view was absolutely amazing as we had a room with a balcony. We would like to Thank Archie for an amazing reception. Claudette & John"
