As a solo traveller I felt safe in the neighborhood. The standard room was rather dingy and looked out at an alley rather than the lovely vista of old town. In all it was a convenient place to land for a few days! ##### Pamela Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ethan Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Clean rooms, small but functional bathrooms with nice shower, great location. ##### Ethan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Savanna Nov 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities From the moment we arrived, the hotel staff was so accommodating. They helped carry bags from the entrance to the lobby since there is a flight of stairs. The room service was great and I loved that it was available at all times because our sleep schedule from travel was really wonky. ##### Savanna Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsay Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice hotel, great location.

The wood floor under the carpet seems to be loose and toilet have hard time flushing clean even after 5 flush. ##### Ricardo Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gerald Oct 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The location is excellent and the hotel is a classic. However the lack of a lift to the ground floor is really an inconvenience. Also the rooms are small the the TVs are really outdated. Forget about any options to use a Chromecast or mirror your device. The shower is also rather poor and the rooms are quite small. On a future visit we would stay elsewhere. ##### Gerald Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bayne Joseph May 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful location - central to so many things in Edinburgh...very pleased with our stay there ##### Bayne Joseph Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Arshpal Oct 13, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities You have to walk up stairs to get to the lobby ##### Arshpal Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful, clean and the staff was excellent ##### Michelle Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Novotel Edinburgh Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Novotel-Edinburgh-Centre.h982662.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-South-Bridge-Royal-Mile.h6793484.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh West](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Edinburgh-West.h19218414.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Edinburgh.h3516.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points Flex by Sheraton Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Four-Points-Flex-By-Sheraton-Edinburgh.h544658.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Mile Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Collection-Hotel.h2775480.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Marriott-Hotel.h873944.Hotel-Information) > > [Fraser Suites Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fraser-Suites-Edinburgh.h2278102.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Edinburgh Carlton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hilton-Edinburgh-Carlton.h1648.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Grassmarket Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Grassmarket-Hotel.h62750.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh - Leith Waterfront by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-Leith-Waterfront.h519940.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-City-Of-Edinburgh-Hotel.h800968.Hotel-Information) > > [The Scotsman Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Scotsman-Hotel.h570820.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Wilde-Apartments-By-Staycity-Grassmarket.h39822833.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Hotel-Spa.h15554.Hotel-Information) > > [Summer Stays at The University of Edinburgh - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Pollock-Halls.h1083952.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel One Edinburgh - Royal](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Motel-One-Edinburgh-Royal.h5333965.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Waterloo Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Waterloo-Place-Hotel.h2278092.Hotel-Information) > > [Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fingal.h38753319.Hotel-Information) > > [Market Street Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Market-Street-Hotel.h29507352.Hotel-Information) > > [Holyrood Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holyrood-Aparthotel.h561406.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Aparthotel-Adagio-Edinburgh-Royal-Mile.h16281979.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Town Chambers, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Cheval-Old-Town-Chambers.h6175181.Hotel-Information) > > [Ten Hill Place](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ten-Hill-Place.h1535542.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h4270.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-Royal-Mile-Hunter-Square.h200875.Hotel-Information) > > [CODE - The Court, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-CoDE-Pod-Hostels-THE-CoURT.h36150915.Hotel-Information)
