22 Chester Street
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.
Falcon Crest Guest House
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.
Eliza House
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.
The Guards Hotel
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.
Leonardo Edinburgh Haymarket
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 Roseate 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.
Britannia Edinburgh Hotel
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.
Village Hotel Edinburgh
Staying at Village Hotel Edinburgh for three nights was an absolute delight. The location is super convenient—just a short metro ride into the city center, and there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The room was spotless, with a comfortable bed that made for a restful sleep every night. I especially appreciated the 24-hour fitness center—it's well-equipped and perfect for early morning workouts or late-night sessions. The on-site bar has a cozy, inviting vibe with soft background music, making it a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring. The common areas are clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall pleasant atmosphere. With its great value and excellent amenities, this hotel stands out. I’d definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh who wants a comfortable, lively stay.
Piries Hotel
Since traveling to Europe has been a bit risky lately, I decided to go for the next best thing—Scotland. The Piries Hotel is perfectly located near Haymarket Station, just a short walk into the heart of the city, with trams and buses nearby. That said, the room was extremely basic and not at all what I expected when booking. It was also quite noisy because it’s situated right at the base of the stairs leading up to the upper floors. To make matters worse, the hotel charged me twice for the same stay—six weeks apart. I’ve reached out via phone and email, but they’ve refused to respond or explain what went wrong. Honestly, despite the great location, I can’t recommend this hotel under any circumstances. I’ve traveled extensively around the world and have never experienced anything like this before. It’s hard to believe this happened, and I’m left wondering if this is a common issue or just an isolated incident.
Four Points Flex by Sheraton Edinburgh
The location is unbeatable—everything worth seeing in Edinburgh is just a short walk away, from the castle to historic streets and museums. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, friendly service and genuine attention to detail. I felt welcomed from the moment I arrived. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for a relaxing stay after a day of exploring. Cleanliness, convenience, and hospitality all at top level. This is exactly the kind of hotel I’d recommend to anyone visiting Edinburgh, and I’ll definitely be returning.
Edinburgh Grosvenor Hotel New
I truly miss this hotel—it was such a gem! Sure, the building feels a bit dated and the corridors can be a little maze-like, but the breakfast absolutely blew me away. It easily outshined what many higher-rated luxury hotels serve. The location is unbeatable—just a 3-minute walk from Haymarket train and tram station, with access to at least 20 bus routes. You’re never far from anywhere in the city. And on top of all that, it was incredibly affordable—seriously one of the best values I’ve ever experienced. This place felt like an old lady who’s lost her spotlight but still carries grace and warmth. I’m genuinely excited to see what the new building will bring, hoping they preserve the soul and charm that made it so special.
City Rooms Edinburgh
The location of City Rooms Edinburgh is excellent—very convenient for getting around the city by metro. The bed was comfortable, which was a plus. However, during our five-day stay, the room was never cleaned at all—even the bathroom remained untouched. The carpeted floor was another issue; it’s hard to keep clean and feels unhygienic. It’s disappointing, especially considering the price. I wouldn’t recommend this place, and if I ever return to Edinburgh, I’ll definitely look for a different hotel.
