Top St James Quarter Hotel Reviews

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"The staff was warm, the rooms were tiny and could use better maintainance."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Good location, close to the mile. Very friendly and helpful staff."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"La chambre est très petite. Très propre et fonctionnelle."

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It was very central to all the places we wanted to visit, close to tram/bus and train stops and was situated in a very lively and pleasant area. Our room was very quiet and relaxing and had all the amenities we needed. We will definitely stay there again!!👍"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Castle view on the 5th floor. Right in the center of everything. We went for the Tatto & had a repeat each night going to sleep hearing bagpipes. Breakfast was great value for the price. Alot of food and convenient to have at hotel. Staff very friendly & helpful"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this hotel because we were treated so kindly throughout our entire stay. The staff answered all the questions we had, and no request was too big. We were even allowed to check into our room in the morning when we arrived completely exhausted from a red eye flight. This was hugely appreciated. The hotel is in an old building. Edinburgh is OLD! They have kept it up though and we had a clean modern bathroom with both walk in shower and soaker tub. Nice bath products. We had a mini fridge in our room, and the bath towels and bed linens were lovely. Side tables for the bed and reading lights. The only tiny thing that could be done is to replace the carpet. Ours had stains on it. It wasn’t a huge room but big enough for us and our luggage. We had a quiet room not facing the view of the castle, which we preferred as we kept our windows open. The breakfast was incredible. We could choose from a hot and cold buffet, and we could order a main breakfast item from the menu. There was a coffee machine so we could have cappuccino (and I could get decaf) every morning. Such a treat for us as we never go out for coffee. I would highly recommend staying here. It is also perfectly located to walk the entirety of Old Town and New Town and everything in between. Stay here and you don't need transport (unless you don't like to walk). PS their staff could give a course in hotel hospitality!!!"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Terrific place to stay in Edinburgh. Staff was professional and helpful. Centrally located (though be prepared for the hike up the steps to the Royal Mile! Clean, well-appointed. Champagne to welcome you, too! Highly recommend!"

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice lobby and bar. Rooms standard although bathrooms generous. Would stay again"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The bathroom is very good, great design, everything has been thought of, but the sleeping area wasn’t great, it was so small, most of it is taken up by the huge bed frame and clunky faux marble table. We had a really long walk to our room with no lifts There was a wedding on Saturday and our room was literally next to the party! Roof top terrace is literally a terrace, you have to buy your very expensive drink from the bar and carry it yourself up to the roof terrace. Breakfast needs more variety Staff were very attentive and helpful and the location is fantastic. However it’s not worth the amount we spent per night"
