Scenic Hotels in Edinburgh

"The room was clean and the facilities were fairly complete, though a bit small. It would be perfectly fine as student accommodation. However, as a commercial rental, the price is quite steep; at around 1200 including tax, the value for money isn't great. Because it's dormitory-style with area doors (each area having five or six rooms) and shared kitchen doors, the sound insulation is poor, so it can get quite noisy. There's often a chorus of loud doors opening and closing, as well as hairdryer noise. The train tracks are right across the street, but it wasn't noisy at night, perhaps due to infrequent service."

"Right next to the University of Edinburgh's Old College, the location is super convenient! You can walk to the National Museum, Princes Street, the Castle, the Art Gallery, and Calton Hill. We were given a top-floor room, which was like an attic. Overall, it was clean, but there were some small moths – we stayed for three days and swatted about seven or eight of them."

"The room was clean; however, it was poorly lit, and the dark wall colors did not help at all. Although we chose a room without windows, we did not expect such poor ventilation or effectively none at all. Our room was located on the ground floor, and there was no reception, while the hotel Wi-Fi also did not work downstairs. Soundproofing was very poor, which contributed to a situation that left us quite dissatisfied. While my friend was in the common area trying to get a connection, she was disturbed by guests who were clearly intoxicated and were rude and abusive towards her. When I went to get her, I was also sworn at, and we quickly returned to our room to avoid the situation. She also noticed that several people passing through seemed to be familiar with these guests and did not acknowledgethe ongoing situation. Later in the evening, around 21:00, one guest began crying loudly and there was a heated argument between them and another guest. Due to the poor soundproofing, we could hear everything clearly. We tried contacting reception about the situation, but they did not answer our calls. We felt unsafe leaving the room. Eventually, someone came down and only asked the guests if they were okay, and the situation was left unresolved. The noise continued for quite some time, and our sleep was significantly disturbed. Overall, we felt unsafe staying here."

"Very nice place, clean and well presented, lovely breakfast included with a nice price which doesn't break your bank. Lovely host. Lots restaurant, bars and shops around, but no far at all from Princess Street Town Centre if you want discover the Old Edinburgh. Just a good all around Guest House with Breakfast in a fantastic location. Will be back for sure."

"Great hotel, clean room comfy bed and quiet hotel. I found the room just the right size for a short stay, perhaps a longer stay with more luggage it would have been but tight. Neat and tidy to communal areas. I’ll be staying here again. Happy hour is a very nice touch."

"Room is v nice. Big tv and cud access streaming apps. House cleaning is a bit marginal - our body lotion was not changed, Kleenex not replenished. Used ice buckets were not taken back after cleaning. However, front desk staffs were v helpful and kind."

"Amazing service and room, the restock on shortbread biscuits really topped it off. My guy at the reception was great for information and helping us out. The hotel location is perfect, right next to victoria street and when you step outside you have a clear view of the castle. The facilities are good, with a sauna and swimming pool nearby. Only thing I would mention is the shower temperature not being above luke warm but that’s personal preference. Would highly recommend this hotel."

"Comfortable, clean environment and friendly people. Quiet place to sleep and relax."

"The room with a view was absolutely fantastic! You could see Calton Hill and the sea in the distance right from the room. The free croissants at the front desk were delicious. Calton Hill is just a five-minute walk away, and the views from there are breathtaking. The hotel is also only a few minutes from Edinburgh Waverley train station, and having direct lift access was so convenient and pleasant. Edinburgh is a wonderful place and definitely worth revisiting. This hotel is also worth another stay!"

"This hotel is super comfortable! My friend and I stumbled upon this gem when we visited Edinburgh. The location is absolutely perfect, and the price is incredibly cheap. It truly exceeded all our expectations."
