Frommer's "The Club Floor is geared toward luxury-minded guests: It has a dedicated elevator, butler service, lounge, and library, along with a champagne and canapé reception every night." Full review
Star Service "This modern, yet unpretentious hotel is similar in quality to the Carlton and bears an equally precious downtown locale although without the views of the castle-facing rooms in the Apex International." Full review

Time Out "the Macdonald has always had a business feel. ... It's the exclusive Club Floor, with its upgraded rooms and views of Holyrood Park, that's the stand-out feature." Full review

Rough Guide "A five-star hostel just off the Royal Mile, with 622 beds in twin rooms or dorms. Women-only rooms are available."
Afar Magazine "Hostels - the word alone is strong enough to awaken the worst feelings in the world." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A good example of a competitive new style of hostel accommodation: less relentlessly wholesome than a traditional rambler’s rest but not a party-animal pit." Full review
OysterBudget
"Part hostel, part residence hall, the budget Safestay Edinburgh is a young, casual property with a party atmosphere." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"A big (620 beds), bright, modern hostel that feels more like a hotel... A huge bar and a central location just off the Royal Mile make this a favourite place to stay for the young, party-mad crowd." Full review
