"Breakfast was okay but ran out of stuff so waiting for refill including coffee machine. Evening meal was disappointing quality and amount. Food very expensive given this."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The stand out was the service. Friendly staff and excellent service. Room service was speedy and if you had breakfast included there was no extra charge. We had an issue with our TV and someone was there within 2 mins. The amenities in the bathroom smelt gorgeous. Loved the variety in the mini bar. Good size mugs for a cuppa. Only down side was the water pressure in the shower."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Property location is excellent. Too bad the outside sidewalk is taken by drug addicts and crack heads. Rooms are neat and very clean, however hallways and other public areas, not so. Staff are not friendly at all, maybe one exception. Breakfast was ok, not great, service personnel not very friendly."

Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club

8/10 Good

"Great location. Close to the airport, also to all major route east, west, north and south. Edinburgh city center is 20 mins away. Wonderfull setting on 2 golf courses, so plenty of nice walks. Free parking. Worst thing is driving out of the hotel and joining the A71. Horrible junction."
