Very clean and comfortable, friendly staff, great location. Three Sisters is adjacent so you might find earplugs are needed, depending on your room location. Sound proofing between rooms is very good. ##### Katherine Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was clean, nice and comfortable. I appreciate the front desk giving ear plugs since there is a bar on the side that does play music most evenings. The day staff was very friendly and had good recommendations around the area. It had a great location in the middle of the city and walkable to all the big things you want to see on your visit. ##### Ashley Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill Aug 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Strangest Hotel ever but one of the best, glad I stayed there ##### Bill Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Huimin Sep 12, 2025 nice staff ##### Huimin Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Robina Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great for a short stay - would happily use again ##### Robina Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stefan Nov 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff were absolutely lovely and really helpful - lent me a brolly and then later an iron and ironing board! However the TV shows virtual gambling by default which is pretty disgusting. Should definitely cut that out ##### Stefan Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mikael Apr 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay Great place to live while in Edinburgh! ##### Mikael Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Phil Sep 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very well maintained room with many unexpected features. Good value ##### Phil Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mike Nov 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness The room was tired, but clean. Unfortunately the manager was less than helpful. We had requested an early checkin but ended up waiting 30 minutes after the 3:00 pm checkin time before getting our room. We like the Staycity chain but we were disappointed in this location. We opted for a different hotel when we returned from our tour. ##### Mike Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy Jun 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay.

Be prepared for steps, hills and plenty of walking within this downtown area which offers so much. Rooms were quiet and the attached bar offered plenty of evening entertainment. ##### Stephen Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was comfortable.

The place is clean and the rooms are a good size. ##### Dennis Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelly Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Three sisters bar/ restaurant was just next door with good food and ambience. Once in our room it was very quiet. Stay Central rooms were more spacious than we expected and the whole place had a lot of charm. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was a little later than usual at 8am but they did pack a breakfast to go so we could catch the bus. ##### Shelly Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great spacious room, great location, walkable to restaurants and city sites. Friendly staff and offered luggage storage which was very helpful. No refrigerator in room but we managed without it. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert Sep 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is clean and nicely modernized, and is in a 'college and arts' section of the city. There are many cutural institituions nearby. However, it can be noisy at night, especially due to the large gathering space next door and the almost nightly music. ##### Robert Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Moxy Edinburgh Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Moxy-Edinburgh-Airport.h31718853.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Hotel-Spa.h15554.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Scots Club Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Royal-Scots-Club-Edinburgh.h900862.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fingal.h38753319.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points Flex by Sheraton Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Four-Points-Flex-By-Sheraton-Edinburgh.h544658.Hotel-Information) > > [Cairn Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Cairn-Hotel.h64061.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Marriott-Hotel.h873944.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Edinburgh Central Queen Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Central-Queen-Street.h4924301.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Edinburgh Centre St Andrew Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Edinburgh-Centre-St-Andrew-Square.h7841147.Hotel-Information) > > [Ten Hill Place](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ten-Hill-Place.h1535542.Hotel-Information) > > [Destiny Student Holyrood - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Student-Holyrood.h12691403.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Waverley Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Old-Waverley-Hotel.h24919.Hotel-Information) > > [The Balmoral Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balmoral-Hotel.h9339.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Edinburgh Fountainbridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Moxy-Edinburgh-Fountainbridge.h64450784.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h37166264.Hotel-Information) > > [Summer Stays at The University of Edinburgh - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Pollock-Halls.h1083952.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) > > [Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-City-Centre.h1088215.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Mount-Royal-Hotel-Edinburgh-By-The-Unlimited-Collection.h802180.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Edinburgh - Princes Street by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Edinburgh-Princes-Street.h522038.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Edinburgh The George by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-InterContinental-Edinburgh-The-George.h20436.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Edinburgh Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-Airport.h31618511.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Locke](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Eden-Locke.h17859332.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) > > [The Frederick House Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Frederick-House-Hotel.h201136.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Edinburgh.h15710648.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Charlotte Square by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Kimpton-Charlotte-Square-Hotel.h571654.Hotel-Information)
