Hotels in Edinburgh Old Town, Edinburgh

Location was okay - a bit far away from the centre if you have suitcases. Shower pressure is acceptable but the temperature control could be better.

We were 4 friends travelling to Edinburgh to explore Scotland. The hostel is really close to the train station and located in a prime location. The receptionists were all really helpful and friendly. Would recommend this to any friend group or solo travellers

Pro’s - location & cost of rooms is great. Free coffee & tea is amazing. Great shower pressure. Cosy room sizes which I liked. Easy check in. Con’s - bedsheet isn’t secured properly so keeps sliding off each night. Noisy extractor fan in the room. Overall would stay again

Very special building, right next to a variety of beautiful buildings, there are people outside a special bridge in my room. The wrong room type, but the handsome front desk guy added a bed for free. The bedding was very clean and white. The heating in winter is also very warm.

We booked a twin-private room. The room was small, so we had to put the luggage under the bed. If you want your room to be cleaned, then you have to book the room cleaning by scanning a QR code, 1 day before. We did it, but then no one cleaned our room. We told the reception, and they said they didn't receive our request. Hence, we had to re-book for the following day, and we told the reception as well. Only then, our room got cleaning. They cleaning was the basic one, emptied the trash bin, and refilled the toilet tissue. They wouldn't make up your bed. The hostel is strategically located, but to shorten the length, you have to take the stairs step (around 300m only). If you are with heavy luggage, then it will be around 700m from the train station (wheel-chair access street)

It was 850meter walk upon arrival at Edinburgh Waverley train station. Through slopes, stairs and uneven roads. Heavy luhgage is strongly not recommended. Fast check in and check out. Great amenities with clean kitchen full with amenities. Toilet a bit small and could be dirty at times. No lifts so have to carry luggage all the way up to 3rs floor. Beds are comfy and clean. As it's bunk bed, so it could be quite disturbing when the other is moving inconsiderably vigorously.

Pros: 1. **Convenient Location**: The hostel is close to the castle, making it very easy to explore the old town. 2. **Great Dining Options**: There's a restaurant and bar on the ground floor. Breakfast is à la carte and very reasonably priced; the croissant and coffee I ordered were delicious. In the evenings, it transforms into a bar with a really relaxed and cozy atmosphere in the common area. 3. **Excellent Service**: One morning, I needed to use the restroom early and happened upon a staff member cleaning. After I knocked and he agreed to let me in, he thoughtfully offered to come back later to ensure I felt comfortable and secure. The staff, all young and pleasant (both handsome guys and pretty girls), were very patient during check-in and when taking food orders. 4. **Cleanliness**: Both the room and bathroom were quite clean. 5. **Comfortable Dorm Beds**: The sleeping area had privacy curtains, ample space, and a very sturdy ladder to the top bunk that didn't disturb others. Cons: 1. **Challenging Walk from Station**: Although the walking distance from the station to the hostel is short, there's a rather steep and high staircase. This would be very inconvenient if you have luggage. Luckily, a very polite and gentlemanly couple helped me out. 2. **Poor Signage**: Upon arrival, the signage for the hostel entrance was unclear, and I found myself wandering between the hotel and restaurant, unsure of where to go. Overall: I highly recommend this hostel! 👏

I really enjoyed my four days. Wonderful hotel the team was very friendly and helpful at all times of the day. Great location easy to get to from the Station/airport. Good trams service along Princes Street. Plenty of buses along South Bridge which is a short walk. Enjoyed the spa facilities especially the swimming pool. The lounge near the reception area is a little chilly but a nice spot to relax with a warm drink. Overall a very pleasant stay. Would recommend. Rooms Good size room, fantastic shower and products. Bed was very comfortable. It was a tad cold so I requested a blanket which was very snug. Bonus having a fridge and complimentary water nice touch. Tea/coffee try was good but would be great to have some hot chocolate. Nearby activities Holyrood Palace and gardens on your doorstep along with great views of Arthur Seat. Five minutes walk to the Royal Mile. Food and drinks There is a restaurant and bar in the hotel. I found the food a bit hit and miss to be honest. Breakfast is great with a great choice in food for all palettes. Warm friendly service.

This hotel is conveniently located near the city's train station. It has a front desk and luggage storage (for a fee of £3 per piece). Check-in time is 2 PM, and check-out time is 10 AM. The hotel is apartment-style, with spacious and clean rooms, each equipped with a kitchen, kettle, refrigerator, microwave, and tableware. However, there is no elevator, and the toilet and bathroom are located in the hallway. The front desk service is not very friendly to Chinese guests. If you don't mind the type of hotel when traveling to Edinburgh, this hotel is a good option.

The hotel's location near the train station is a huge plus, making transport incredibly convenient. We received attentive service, and the breakfast was quite good. However, Google Maps gave misleading directions, which led me to carry my luggage up five flights of stairs. It turns out there's an elevator, but it's not clearly marked with the hotel's logo, making it challenging for first-time visitors to find.
