Hotels near Scottish National War Memorial, Edinburgh

I've never stayed in a hostel before, let alone in a former jail revamped as one ! Besides the gimmick, the Court is a wonderful place to stay if you are visiting Edinburgh, whether on a budget or not : fantastic location near the St Giles cathedral (where city tours seemingly start from), super friendly staff and surprisingly clean amenities (first time experience in a hostel so I didn't know what to expect quite frankly). Would definitely recommend !

Lovely hotel only 5 minutes walk from Waverley station and in an ideal position for all the main attractions. Excellent breakfast choice. Easy check in and check out with friendly, helpful staff.

I booked a a night within the hotel on Halloween as we had booked a walking ghost tour within the city. It was a bit of a walk down to the Royal mile taking about 25 mins but as it was dry it was ok. The hotel was fantastic, the reception staff were lovely and very helpful. The entrance lobby was warm and clean, very inviting. All of the corridors were very well maintained, clean and beautifully decorated. Our room was very spacious with a queen sized bed, seating area and a good sized bathroom. The room again was nicely decorated and well equipped. Due to the restrictions the hotel restaurant was closed but we were allowed to order food into the hotel and the receptionist even pointed us in the direction of local shops. I would recommend the hotel and will most probably stay again.

Stayed her for three nights October 2022 with the Scotland Rugby League team prior to the Rugby League World Cup. What a great find this hotel was. Spotlessly clean and so very comfortable. Bedrooms roomy and the beds as comfortable as you can get. The food was excellent, and they catered for our every need. The breakfasts were amazing and the service was beyond reproach . Special shout out to our servers Chez, Shannon and the boss Karen. Could not have been better. A massive thank you and a great start to our World Rugby League Cup campaign . Defo use this hotel again.

Hotel was clean and Quiet.Reception staff friendly and helpful Easy access to city via buses. Sea food restaurants nearby. Hotels breakfast was good except scrambled egg not to my taste.(Dry) Toilet in the room no toilet brush. Bar did not have bloody Mary.Was a bit disappointing.! The hotel staff especially Madina and Lucas went beyond to help and give good advice for first time visitors. Worth trying Holiday Inbn Express Edinborough.

We used this hotel following arrival at the airport from overseas and night prior to departure . It was ideal. Nice location, friendly staff. It was pleasant to walk around the wooded campus and neighborhoods of adjacent Herriot-Watt University. We will be back. ... I would note however, that some may feel the privacy in the bathroom is a bit compromised by the construction of the bathroom doors and side panels (opaque material which lets the light shine through, and large see-through cracks between the door and the adjacent wall - not completely private).

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. We arrived far earlier than the 3pm check-in due to an early flight, and asked on the off chance if we would be able to get into our room any earlier. Not expecting at all for it to be done so quickly! They jumped into action whilst we explored the stunning grounds & had a lovely breakfast, and within the hour we were in our room. Housekeeping had created a lovely Swan display using the towels and rose petals, with a handwritten birthday card for my boyfriend as we were there to celebrate his 30th birthday. The staff could not do enough for us, especially the very kind lady on reception who was just brilliant and the trip felt so easy and comfortable as a result. Thank you SO much for a wonderful and memorable weekend, I truly cannot recommend this hotel enough. Worth every penny and just a short uber (20-25 mins) to the city, zoo, and most main attractions. We will be back!

This is the most fabulous place & setting for a couple of nights stay, sadly let down by staff & services. It doesn’t surprise me to see what others have reviewed. This place clearly has been & could be so much more. I’ve no doubt the pandemic has hit them hard & they are struggling to recruit enough of the correct staff. The positives: Lovely historic setting & ambience. On site Spa & Falconry. Lovely airy clean rooms. Food ok to good. Plenty of parking. Breakfast included. The negatives: Poor staffing & services. Some staff just try too hard with ‘Amazing’ & Fantastic’ in their vocabulary constantly. Probably to appease the American market. The Orangery restaurant is very poorly run. Staff do their best, albeit could work with a little more haste, they just can’t cope. Similar excuses about booked tables that are never taken! Staff are generally un-knowledgable about services & timings & things were always going wrong. We laughed most of it off & just called it Fawty Towers, what’s next? :) They could do so much more with the veranda, the bar & Orangery. Bare in mind you are out in the country & taxis can be limited & costly. To summarise - we would stay again for the right price, probably out of the Festival season. Keep doing your best guys & gals but owners beware, you need to manage this place so much better

My partner and I arrived late after a flight to Edinburgh airport and were greeted by a very friendly member of staff in the nightshift. The whole hotel looked freshly decorated with new fixtures and fittings, all of which seemed of a very high quality. Our room (room 4) was wonderfully appointed, the bed was very comfortable and the shower was fantastic. Breakfast was freshly cooked and served very quickly. For what we paid this hotel is worth a 10/10 any day!!

It’s a very nice hotel as an IHG group hotel you can be assured about quality . Staff is real nice and friendly . When I arrived I was given a twin room while I booked a double . Not their fault but the partner of trip . Com. No other double available so I asked them to put two single bed together so I won’t fall off at night . Lol. They were dead nice and did it for me. Nice environment not far from the nearby train station. Will defo go back there to stay
