Prestigious Apartment in the heart of Edinburgh

Haymarket

"The location was very good especially for buses and trams. The flat was nothing special, in fact it was very poorly furnished, cheapest of furniture, no tissues, no paper towel, no cloths to wipe the counters or bathroom, two tiny containers of soap and shampoo for two people for an entire week. Give the minimum and pay the maximum. Also, asking for more money as an excuse to get access to the key box was the final straw. I will NEVER rent with Altido or Joivey again."

Top Leith Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location. All of the staff we encountered were wonderful. Restaurant on sight was great. Overall 10 out of 10."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"Huge plus is the location in between Holyrood and Princes St / Royal Mile. And easy access to buses to get around. Staff helpful. Didn’t use the hotel bar or restaurant but they looked good. Only real negative was we got unlucky and one of the two lifts was being repaired and out of service. Pool was good by hotel standards. Has a gym but did not use it. Did not have breakfast included in my rate so simply found something nearby. Seemed expensive overall but then everything in the city centre is. No bargains to be had (in June)."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for 2 nights and can say with complete honesty it lives up to the usual high standards associated with the Hilton brand. We ordered room service on night one which arrived in very quick time and tasted delicious everything we ordered was fresh and great quality. The beds at the Hilton are always a highlight for me with quality linens and amazingly comfortable pillows you’ll be sure to get a solid nights sleep after long hours exploring Edinburgh. Our room was ready for when we arrived at 10:30 and the staff at the desk were extremely helpful. My only foible with the room was that upon looking under our bed there was a small amount of litter from previous guests, maybe a one off due to the small amount however maybe something for the hotel to address. To conclude regardless of the small amount of litter found under the bed I would say this hotel deserves 5 stars for everything, I would highly recommend staying here and should I ever return to Edinburgh I would love to stay again."
