Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it!!! Will definitely be back! Great location, friendly & helpful staff, plus loved the indoor pool & steam room. "

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

2/10 Terrible

"The room smelled permanently of dirty drains. The reception staff were excellent and eventually moved us to another room. If you are a coeliac don't even consider staying here. I rang the hotel to check they actually did gluten free food before I made the booking and was told they definitely did. When I went down for the evening meal and asked what gluten free was available I was told a salad because they don't have many coeliacs staying. Enough said. "

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was so kind and greeted us right away assisting with our bags and offering us a beverage upon arrival. We were exhausted after the walk from the train station and they helped us get settled and take our bags so we could settle for a bit and then sight see till our room was ready. Loved our stay and loved the room. "

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

"Great location and comfortable room with small kitchen and cooking supplies for preparing meals. Conveniently located near to the train station ( EDB ), about 8-9 minutes walk and right on the Royal mile. Groceries, coffee shops and restaurants are readily available nearby. Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Drem?

The best time to visit Drem is typically during the late spring and summer months, from May to September, when the weather is at its most pleasant.

During these months, you'll find longer daylight hours and generally milder temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the East Lothian coastline and countryside. This period is great for outdoor activities like walking the John Muir Way, visiting the nearby beaches such as Gullane or Yellowcraigs, or enjoying a round of golf at one of the many renowned courses in the area.

For those interested in wildlife, particularly birdwatching, late spring and early summer offer the best opportunities to see seabirds nesting along the Bass Rock and other local reserves. The weather is usually agreeable enough for boat trips out to the islands, providing a unique perspective on the region's natural beauty.

If you prefer to avoid the busiest tourist times but still want good weather, May, June, and September are excellent choices.
