Edinburgh hotels near The Scotch Whisky Experience

Pros: Location

Cons: Breakfast and the room’s wardrobe is not enough for us during 3 nights stay.

Pros: Great location. Nice lobby. Clean. Price not bad comparatively.

Cons: Spartan rooms that could easily be improved upon, ie. luggage racks, any decoration, lighting inside room entrance, TV system that works. One desk person (seemed like manager) said we had good view room - view was of us for double buses parked in front.

Pros: I thought it was a lovely budget hotel and the location to all the attractions was perfect. I would recommend this hotel to travellers.

Cons: I didn't like that I had to pay inflated prices because the festival was on. Also I took I'll with a bug so didn't have as good as stay as planned. Nothing to do with the hotel I might add.

Pros: Location is very good, bus station to the airport in 2 minutes walk. Beautiful view. There is european socket. Usb charged.

Cons: No draft beer in the bar. Only bottle.

Pros: It was situated in a perfect place, a stones throw from the bus stop for the airport shuttle & from princes street. The room was stylish and could only have been made better by placing plugs in better location. .

Cons: Overall 9/10, only slight issue was plug situation and breakfast was expensive

Pros: Location, price and affordability, cool design, friendly staff, open lounge/bar/restaurant with good hours. Quiet rooms!

Cons: AWFUL WiFi- we resorted to paying roaming charges on our mobile phone b/c we needed to get online. No phone in room to call to lobby? Very little lounging furniture-even an extra armchair or loveseat would be nice. Name 'Motel One' cud be better:)

Pros: My word what an amazing hotel best we have stayed in we've stayed in Hilton hotel in York but this one beats it and the staff are all amazing every single one of them when we come back to Edinburgh this is the hotel we'll definitely be staying in beautiful place thankyou so much x

Pros: Location was really good, room was warm and comftable

Cons: Super location, staff were lovely, friendly and helpful, our visit unfortunately coincided with the closure of cafes bars and resteraunt but the staff helped out loads and advised us on eating take outs etc, Thank you and we'll done at a difficult time

Pros: The location is excellent, both for seeing the city, and for transport (the airport bus stops 100 meters from the door, and the Waverley station entrance is not much farther

Pros: location

Cons: no double double rooms

Pros: Very nice staff, but I really loved the elevator and fan in the room...the little things.

Cons: Not the hotel's fault, it's at every UK hotel I've been to, but a regular electrical outlet in the bathroom would be nice.

Pros: We were visiting just as GB was shutting everything down due to the C-Virus. The hotel restaurant served a very good dinner and breakfast (even though that was the last days they could be open. The location is outstanding just across from the famous Grass Market Square and within easy walking distance of the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle.

Pros: Location was fantastic. Rooms had beds and pillows more luxurious than most all 4 star hotels I stay in. Staff were great! I'd tell anyone visiting Edinburgh that this is THE place to stay.

Cons: No

Cons: The hotel didn't have a swimming pool and spa as stated by booking.com we had to go down the street to their sister hotel.

Cons: Breakfast could be better as wasn't value for money

Pros: Location is great. Just a short walk from the Castle and the Royal Mile. Also handy for a lot of excellent restaurants.

Pros: The hotel was in sight of the castle and a short walk from the Royal Mile. The hotel itself was spotless with really friendly staff. Parking is very limited but was a real bonus.

Cons: All good

Pros: Everything we wanted to see was in walking distance.

Cons: Everything was wonderful.

Pros: Location

Pros: Very clean room. Amazing staff so friendly and polite. Will be recommending and will definitely stay in a Raddison blu hotel wherever I travel. Great service 10/10 - would give 11/10 if I could!

Cons: N/A

Pros: The hotel is well situated, on High Street, near the railway station, close to the Edinburgh castle and Princes Street, so it’s easy to walk from there almost anywhere you want to visit. The breakfast was good, lots to choose from at the buffet. The beds were amazing, after walking all day it was easy to relax and just drift off into sleep.

Cons: We had an issue with the staff one night, my friends were having a gathering downstairs because some of them smoke, they were not disruptive or making a mess, but a person on the staff saw them drinking some whiskey, we were after all buying whiskey that day and they were trying some out, and this person took the bottle from them, without reason, and the explanation was ridiculous, like we don’t allow drinking here? I guess they don’t allow it if you don’t buy it at their bar or something, because the glasses and ice they were using were from the hotel bar, they asked for them. Anyway, later one they ask for our property back, the bottle, because it was ours, but I wouldn’t have let them take it on the first place, if you don’t want your passengers drinking on your premises ask them to move it to the room or leave the space, but don’t touch what’s not your property. Two nights later or so we actually went to the hotel bar, charge what we had to our room, left, were just getting settled when they called us because they couldn’t find our credit card on the system or something, we had to get back down and tried to sort it out, but the truth is we never understood what was wrong with the card they had entered when we checked in; they even asked if I wanted to put that charge on another credit card, which I said of course not, they had a credit card on their system and that was the card they should use for the charge. After not learning what went wrong, or what they actually wanted, we finally went to bed. This whole thing could have been resolved the next morning, but no, we had to try and resolve it right then and there.

Pros: Location, early check in, fab breakfast, good drinks and dinner....

Cons: Can't think of anything

Pros: The champagne in the toom.

Pros: Great location, superb interior design of the room. Very modern style

Cons: In-hotel gym was temporarely out of service bu the hotel offered a free entry at a partner gym

Pros: The location of this hotel is ideal, right on the Royal Mile and easy to get to. The room was spacious, with a seating area and plenty of space to move about. We got breakfast included, and although the restaurant was small, there were enough options available.

Cons: We were staying at the Radisson Blu for one night following our wedding two days prior. We had contacted the hotel in advance, informing them of our reasons to stay, which must have been noted on our room booking as we did receive 2 complimentary drinks from the bar, which we were grateful for and enjoyed. However, the staff member at check in did not pay any attention as to why we were visiting the hotel, or even asked how we were doing when we approached him. Again, the voucher we had for a drink in the bar had "wedding" written on it, however the waitress never let on to it. There was no "Congratulations", or any personal feel from the staff we encountered during our stay, which we felt was disappointing.

Pros: Spacious suite living room, separate half guest bath, Decent breakfast with separate order menu, gym had free weights to 30kg, location is on royal mile down road from castle (but for Christmas markets and shopping, a princess street hotel would been better), overall friendly staff.

Cons: 1. For a royal mile suite, main bathroom was standard. Overly spacious living room really could’ve spared space for a more comfortable bathroom befitting suite. 2. Website advertised kids eat free. However, when we ordered meals for the kids via room service, we were told it’s not free. Extremely deceptive and off putting of brand. 3. I emailed the hotel 1 week in advance of 4-day stay and asked for milk, orange juice, and water in room stocked and included room mini fridge. Email from customer service acknowledged request and even confirmed we still wanted wine and beer - a nice catch! However, when we arrived, we were informed juice and milk not included. False service promise should’ve not been made. Room service food was Not worth price (pizza, burger, and kids chicken meal were only ok but far more expensive than eaterery options all around).

Pros: We loved the location & the lovely feel of the place. The bar area is very welcoming and the rooms are spacious and comfortable

Cons: Nothing

Pros: From the minute I walked into the hotel I felt very welcomed. The staff were attentive and perfectly freindly and professional. I travel alot internationally and truthfully feel that this was one of the best hotel experiences I've had in my life. Being that I do travel alot, it means the world when you can sleep peacefully in extreme comfort. From arrival to departure the George was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it and will return there when in Edinburgh. A gentleman named " Willy" was a gem, very helpful. Thank You.
