Absolutely loved our stay at Dalry Guesthouse! The location is fantastic—just steps away from the subway and right next to a Lidl, which made grabbing essentials super convenient. The room was clean, well-sized, and cozy with everything we needed. Breakfast was a real highlight—fresh, hearty, and full of local flavor. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality, always ready to help or offer tips. The neighborhood itself has a vibrant, multicultural vibe, with diverse cafes and shops around every corner. It’s such a welcoming, authentic part of Edinburgh. For a budget-friendly yet high-quality experience, this place truly delivers. Highly recommend for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and a genuine local feel.

Staying at Belford Hostel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Edinburgh! The place is incredibly clean and comfortable, with a standout feature being the spacious and immaculate restroom—definitely one of the best I've ever used in a hostel. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the location is perfect for exploring the city center by foot or public transit. I loved the cozy vibe, great amenities, and how well-maintained everything felt. It’s rare to find such a high-quality budget stay, and I’d absolutely recommend this place to any traveler looking for comfort, cleanliness, and value. Would book again without hesitation!

The moment I walked into the hotel, it felt like coming home—warm, cozy, and spotless. The room had everything I needed: a coffee corner, plenty of towels, a hairdryer, and even a small sink. The shared bathroom was always clean and easily accessible. Everything I needed was within reach, and the location is perfect—everything you’d want is nearby, with the city center just a short walk away. It’s hard to find a better place to stay in Edinburgh. Highly recommend this gem!

Coming from the airport, take the Airlink 100 bus and get off at Haymarket. Cross the road and walk back a bit—look for the sign pointing to Coates Gardens. Follow the slope upward until you reach the top, and there it is—Travelodge Edinburgh Haymarket right in front of you. The location is fantastic: most attractions are within walking distance, so you won’t need to buy any bus tickets. The main entrance faces southeast, so if you book a room on a higher floor, you’ll catch the morning sun streaming in—perfect for snapping some beautiful photos. Super convenient, well-located, and great value—highly recommend for travelers wanting a stress-free stay in Edinburgh.

The stay was absolutely fantastic! The residence is spotlessly clean with all the essentials you'd need—great beds, functional furniture, and excellent soundproofing that made for a peaceful night's sleep. The staff were incredibly welcoming and always ready to help with any request, making the whole experience feel personal and stress-free. Located just steps away from the university, it’s super convenient for commuting via public transit. Plus, there are plenty of cafes, grocery stores, and local spots nearby. I can’t recommend this place enough—it’s perfect for students looking for comfort, convenience, and value. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in Edinburgh!

The property has recently rebranded from Syozant Morrison Central ApartHotel to Edinburgh Central Morrison Aparthotel, but the experience couldn’t be worse. The room was filthy, with visibly dirty sheets and poor hygiene throughout. The listing description is completely misleading—nothing matched what was advertised. Shared facilities and a cramped layout make it feel more like a student dorm than a proper apartment stay. We only stayed for about ten minutes before deciding to leave, but the owner refused to issue a refund. This place is not worth your time or money—avoid at all costs.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
