The Salisbury Hotel

We booked a room at The Salisbury Hotel right during Storm Eowyn, and the staff (or owner) went above and beyond by offering us a free early check-in—such a thoughtful touch when the weather was so rough. The room itself is clean, well-maintained, and absolutely worth the price. Honestly, the only small suggestion would be that the heater could be a bit hotter, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Overall, the hospitality, comfort, and location make this stay unforgettable. I’d definitely return to The Salisbury Hotel on my next trip to Edinburgh.
