Staying at 22 Chester Street was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a 5-minute walk to the tram stop, making it super easy to explore Edinburgh. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean, with a modern bathroom that felt luxurious. The host was incredibly friendly and even allowed us to store our luggage for the day, which made our travel plans so much more relaxed. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered. This place offers incredible value and charm—definitely my top pick in Edinburgh and I’ll be back without hesitation.
We stayed at Falcon Crest Guest House during August to attend the Military Tattoo and the Fringe Festival, and it was an absolutely perfect choice. The owners are incredibly warm and welcoming—they shared so much helpful local insight, from bus routes to nearby attractions, making our trip stress-free. The guest house is about a 30-minute pleasant walk to the city center, with just a gentle uphill stretch in the final 10 minutes—nothing too demanding. Right at the top of the street, there’s a bus stop with regular service into town for only £2 each way—a fantastic value option. For those who love outdoor exploration, there’s a scenic walking and cycling path right beside the property (the Ferry Road Path), which we followed for about 30 minutes to reach the Royal Yacht Britannia in Leith, then took the tram back into Edinburgh—again, just £2. Our double room on the top floor was cozy and immaculate: clean, well-equipped with a shower, TV, tea and coffee setup, and even a sweet treat of homemade shortbread. The bed was super comfortable, and the room felt peaceful and inviting. We ordered breakfast the next morning—it was huge and delicious: cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt, bacon, eggs (perfectly cooked!), sausages, beans, rolls, and toast. I actually switched to a smaller portion because it was so generous! Overall, this place hits all the right notes—friendly hosts, great location, excellent transport access, and a real home-away-from-home vibe. If you're looking for a quiet yet convenient base near the action, this is a top recommendation. Definitely planning to come back.
Staying at Eliza House was a fantastic choice for my trip to Edinburgh. The location right next to Haymarket station is unbeatable—just a short walk from trains and airport buses, making travel super convenient. The building itself has a charming old-world vibe with character and warmth. My only minor complaint was that the shower never seemed to deliver hot water, but aside from that, I absolutely loved the place. It’s cozy, well-located, and offers great value. Definitely recommend it for anyone visiting Edinburgh who wants a quiet, authentic stay without the hassle.
This place truly exceeded my expectations! Right in the heart of Edinburgh, it's just a short walk from the Royal Mile and only minutes away from the castle—perfect for exploring on foot. The hotel has such a stylish, modern vibe with an elegant lobby and thoughtfully designed rooms. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, even offering a little welcome gift upon check-in. The bed was unbelievably comfortable, and the room was quiet and well-insulated—no noise at all during the night. Breakfast was fantastic: fresh fruit, homemade pastries, and perfectly cooked eggs. I can't recommend this hotel enough if you're visiting Edinburgh. It’s a top-tier experience with outstanding value. Would absolutely stay here again.
The Garner Hotel Edinburgh - Haymarket is absolutely perfect for travelers who value convenience and comfort. The room was spotless and well-maintained, with a clean, modern feel that made us feel right at home. Location-wise, it's unbeatable—right next to bus and tram stops that connect straight to major attractions and the airport. We never had to walk far for anything: there’s a Tesco, a Co-op, and a small local grocery store (can’t remember the name, but it’s super affordable and stocked with everything you’d need). It’s like having a mini supermarket just outside the door. The management by LHH ensures a consistent, high-quality experience—no surprises, just reliable service. After staying here, I can confidently say I’ll never choose a guesthouse again. For ease of travel, great value, and a central base in Edinburgh, this hotel hits all the right notes.
Staying at the Leonardo Edinburgh Haymarket was a fantastic experience overall. The room was larger than expected, featuring a comfortable sofa that made it feel more like a home away from home. Cleanliness was excellent—everything looked fresh and well-maintained. The in-room amenities were thoughtful: a capsule coffee machine and a fridge made mornings easy and convenient, especially for that quick caffeine fix. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the train station and within easy reach of major attractions. There are plenty of restaurants and cozy bars nearby, so dinner and drinks are never an issue. The only downside is the cabinet above the tea station—it has a sharp corner that could easily cause injury if you’re not careful. It’s definitely a safety concern, especially when moving around with luggage or in low light. A simple fix like adding a soft edge cover would go a long way. Otherwise, this hotel offers great value and a welcoming atmosphere.
The breakfast buffet was exceptionally well-rounded and delicious—plenty of options and great quality. The location is perfect for exploring the city on foot, with major attractions just a short walk away. The staff were incredibly helpful, responsive, and genuinely friendly throughout our stay. Being an adults-only property added to the peaceful atmosphere, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway without distractions. It’s clear that attention to detail and guest comfort are top priorities here. Highly recommend this charming hotel for anyone visiting Edinburgh.
Staying at this apartment was a disappointing experience despite the convenient location in Edinburgh city center. We were assigned to unit 3 in block 4, and while the view from the bedroom window overlooking Haymarket station was nice, everything else fell far short of expectations. The entrance was dark and filthy, with poor lighting making it hard to navigate. The apartment itself felt neglected—cleaning was inadequate, kitchen units were damaged, and walls had visible cracks that were only patched without repainting. There were burn marks on the bedroom cabinet, peeling paint on furniture and light switches, and basic fixtures like the bath plug were missing entirely. The bathroom radiator was rusty and grimy, floor tiles were cracked, and even the plates were chipped. It’s clear this place hasn’t been properly maintained or inspected in years—possibly not since the early 2000s. We requested a price reduction due to the condition, but our request was firmly denied. While the local agent handling key collection was polite and helpful, they had no authority to fix any issues. Overall, the quality doesn’t match the price, and unless you’re looking for a budget option with very low standards, I’d strongly advise against booking here.
Staying at Murrayfield Hotel was an absolute delight! The location is fantastic—just a three-stop subway ride from Princes Street, and there's a bus stop right outside the hotel for easy access. If you're driving, free parking is a huge plus. I especially enjoyed taking the tram from Princes Street to the stadium stop, then walking just a few minutes to the hotel—perfect way to explore the city. Plus, the Chinese consulate is right across the street, which added a nice touch of pride. Everything about this stay felt convenient, comfortable, and well-located. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Edinburgh!
Staying at The Roseate Edinburgh was a truly memorable experience. While it didn’t stand out dramatically over our previous night’s accommodation, the unique charm of being housed within a historic castle made all the difference. The atmosphere is quiet and serene—perfect for unwinding after a busy day exploring the city. Rooms were clean, well-appointed, and surprisingly peaceful, with excellent sound insulation. The surrounding area is pleasant too—cozy cafés, local shops, and easy access to public transport make getting around hassle-free. It’s not just a place to sleep; it feels like stepping into a story. Great value, great location, and an unforgettable stay overall.
Staying at the Britannia Edinburgh Hotel was a pleasant surprise, especially since it’s a bit outside the city center—though that’s actually one of its biggest perks. The hotel is tucked away in a quiet area with a large park right next door, perfect for morning walks. My parents loved strolling through the fresh air each day, and the peaceful vibe made our stay feel like a real retreat. A short walk takes you to Dean Village, which has such a charming, rural feel compared to the bustling city. The room itself was unremarkable but comfortable—nothing fancy, but clean, well-maintained, and had all the essentials. It’s not flashy, but it works perfectly if you’re after a calm, relaxing base. Plus, getting into the city by public transport is easy. Overall, this place offers a great balance between tranquility and convenience—ideal for travelers who want to escape the crowds without sacrificing accessibility.
Staying at B+B Edinburgh was an absolute delight! While it’s a bit outside the city center, its proximity to Dean Village makes it feel like a hidden gem. The moment you step outside, you’re surrounded by charming streets and peaceful greenery—perfect for a morning stroll. The view from the window is simply breathtaking, especially in the early hours when the sunlight filters through the trees. Inside, the room is beautifully designed with high-quality furnishings and thoughtful touches throughout. Breakfast was outstanding—rich in local flavors, freshly prepared, and offered a variety of authentic Scottish options. It felt more like a personalized experience than just a meal. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but everything about this place—from the serene location to the attention to detail—justifies the cost. If you're looking for a quiet, stylish retreat with a touch of authenticity, this is absolutely worth it.
