Hotels near Tesco Esso Express, Edinburgh

Room is small (same as what was posted online) but a 32” luggage cannot be opened fully. minimal walking space in the room. Not much table space for work, location is abit far off. Didnt realise the 'distance' while booking. Lovely view from room - sneek peak of Arthur Seat, woke up with birds chirpping, pretty relaxing No aircon in the room, so need to open the window for ventilation Bathroom is small, water takes sometime to be hot and water will splash out on the floor. There was water leakage from the corner of the glass panel, which made a puddle of water after each shower. Front desk and bar service was fantastic, very friendly folks.

The flight was late late at night from London to Edinburgh, and it was more than one o'clock in the morning. The reception was on duty and it was very nice! The room was directly above the entrance, the bedding was very comfortable, the breakfast was great the next day, but the space was limited. You have to queue up and have time to enjoy it slowly!

1. The location of the hotel: Adjacent to the entrance of Holyrood Palace and Calton Hill, go straight for a few hundred meters to the Royal Mile, and walk about one kilometer to Vivalli Station. Basically, most of Edinburgh's attractions and shopping are solved by walking Although I am a little tired, I can experience the local scenery and people in a down-to-earth way. Hotel environment: small and beautiful, the surrounding environment is very quiet, there is an exquisite garden at the back door of the hotel, and there is a very warm reception room on the first floor, most of the time there are no staff there, guests just push the door in and want to lie on the sofa to rest , drink coffee, go to the bathroom, wash and dry clothes, you can do it all by yourself here, feel free to do it without restraint Room facilities: After check-in, the hotel will send me a password. This password is common to open the reception room on the first floor and the room. It is very convenient to enter and exit without having to bring the room card; our room is on the third floor, and it is a bit inconvenient to carry luggage up , thanks to the help of the hotel administrator; the room is newly renovated, everything is clean and tidy, and the room temperature can be adjusted; there is a small kitchen at the entrance, which basically meets the needs of self-cooking, thanks to this kitchen, the problem of eating is solved ( Edinburgh really has too few food options); we are a family of four staying here this time, in addition to the 1.8-meter bed in the room, the sofa in the living room is pulled out to a double bed, which is quite comfortable; the bathroom has a lot of space . The view outside the window is beautiful, quiet and comfortable. Service: Peter, the hotel manager, is very kind and patient in introducing us to the surrounding areas of the hotel. A few tips: 1. There is a small Chinese supermarket (it seems to be called Meiqilin) ​​and a Tasco about 400 meters away from the hotel. It is great and solves a lot of food problems. 2. It’s very cold in Edinburgh in the morning and evening, so remember to bring thick clothes. 3. If you need to go from Edinburgh to London (or if you need to travel around various cities in the UK), it is recommended to buy a train pass in advance (two days in advance on Ctrip, and one day in advance on Taobao) to buy a train pass, which is cheaper than buying a single trip A lot, our family of four traveled from Edinburgh to London, went to Cambridge and Oxford in London, bought a three-day pass, and spent a total of less than 4,000 yuan (one way from Edinburgh to London for four people) It costs 3,000 yuan), and the pass can be used on any operating company’s trains on any train, which is very convenient.

The hotel went above and beyond to take care of us. I was very impressed with the service. I loved the location. It was close enough to everything without being in the thick of it. I would definitely stay again. Thank you for making my stay so comfortable.

We are so satisfied with Aparthotel! It is very clean and has everything we need. Especially when you want to stay in the same place for a few days and don't know where to eat, this hotel is equipped with basic cooking ware, rubbish and recycling bins and a dishwasher! Is is also located in between the train station and city centre. When you feel tired you can always go back for a rest before heading out for dinner.

I think the hotel location is very good, almost touching the royal mile with just few meters away. This hotel is suitable for solo or business travelers as this is an express hotel. The room we got was very small in size 19m2 not suitable for family with a kid. There was no refrigerator in the room. Breakfast was very ordinary with very few options so, I will not suggest to take breakfast at this hotel, in fact people can scout on royal mile for a decent restaurant. Overall, 1 or 2 days should be ok without much hassle but if you are planning to spend some more time then I will not suggest for this hotel. Staff was always helpful and they do the best to guide you for things.

Great location, just a 3-minute walk from Edinburgh train station. The path to the station is smooth, making it convenient to wheel suitcases. The stairs behind the hotel lead to a stop for the tour bus, making it easy to reach various attractions. However, despite these conveniences, our stay was quite disappointing. We had booked two Superior Double Rooms, but upon our 3 PM arrival, the front desk informed us that only one room was available unless we were willing to wait until 10 PM. Unable to wait several hours, we had to accept a single room, which turned out to be very small and dark. The hotel's soundproofing is also extremely poor. You can hear every single word clearly from the neighbouring room. If your neighbours have noisy kids, it could ruin your stay. Loud children awakened me at 6 AM. Our experience fell well below our expectations given the hotel's pricing. I do not recommend it.

Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh is always my go-to choice whenever I visit the city. The hotel is conveniently located close to the city centre, making it an ideal base for exploring Edinburgh. The rooms are clean, elegantly designed, and well-maintained, reflecting a high standard of quality. The front desk service is excellent, with staff who are attentive and professional. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is delightful, making every stay a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!

Awful hotel that is definitely not 4* and the service is not at Hilton level at all…. The hotel goes under the renovation and there were only 2 lifts with queues and they are also used by the staff too We had a room for 3 people and had all set up for two people only, the room was dirty with hair in the shower and the ceiling. When I took the shower the pipe was blocked and the water started to leak to the bathroom… yes they sorted the problem quite quickly but still was not great experience There were no slippers and bathrobes. I asked for x3 slippers and they brought only one pair. I asked again and they brought only one pair again. On the third time they brought two pairs…. When I asked for 3!!! And still no bathrobes. We asked for additional blanket and it was in a random location after the room was cleaned. The room was cleaned badly on the next day we stayed. My pajamas was thrown elsewhere and I found it on the table, the towels we put on the floor to be replaced were fold dirty on the shelves… the blanket was in a random location and the cleaner did not pay any attention at all left the room dirty. Very disrespectful I felt that I had to beg for the things we are supposed to get in this kind of hotels. Shocking!!! Yes they compensated with a complimentary breakfast which was good but still the service was bad. They sent the cleaner and by the time she came we were already sleeping. And she did not speak any English … very disappointed Room 210, 26.10-28.10 2024

Facilities: Very good Hygiene: Feeling Environment: Very satisfied Service: Satisfied Conditions are quite comfortable. The address is in the city center. It is very convenient to go anywhere. The elevator can go directly to the train station. Calton Hill is right next to it. It is quite cost-effective.
