“Great location but ...hotel leaves something to be desired”

I chose the hotel for its location which was perfect for me. However the hotel has seen better days and is looking shabby -e.g. the cracked wash basin in my room was not a good advert.

“Great value for money and excellent location”

I have stayed at the Royal British three times now and wouldn't hesitate to go back. It provides free wifi and the rooms are a good size. Located on Princes St opposite the Balmoral makes it perfect for seeing the sights or shopping. And being just across the road from Waverley Station means it's very easy and cheap to get to and from the airport on the excellent 100 bus. The staff at the hotel are really friendly and the check in process is extremely quick. I can't wait to go back!

Area recommendations

Princes St for shopping as it has everything.

“hakim”

very bad hotel with unhelpfull staff, the furniture in the hotel are dated century and need replacement for the sake of the hotel industry

“Good Location, OK hotel”

The hotel is in a great location, very convenient for everything. Room was okay, but bed was ridiculously hard and uncomfortable. Bathroom was a bit small but adequate.

“Great location, basic facilities”

Perfectly located in the heart of Edinburgh, across the road from the station and a short walk to all the sights. Staff were helpful, restaurant was quite good, but the room (and the rest of the hotel) was a bit on the dilapidated side. Good value for those who want location not luxury.

“plumbing needs upgrading”

Had difficulty adjusting shower to prevent scalding. Ancient water taps.

Area recommendations

High street a must. City is full of excellent old buildings.

Getting around

Be sure and take advantage of the Day Pass on busses. Convenient and rapid.

“Very goood value for money”

OK so I wouldn't choose this place for my honeymoon, but for a place to stay when up in Edinburgh on a relatively low budget it was excellent: right by the main station, clean rooms, pleasant and welcoming receptionist, got a good nights sleep. Didn't try the food there (it was a room only booking) but very pleased with it.

“Impressive name for a third-rate hotel”

Room was dingy, small, and not quite clean. Single-pane windows rattled noisily in wind. Desperately needs renovation.

“Good for visitors on a mid range budget”

On Princess steet, across the street from the flight links bus with city buses within 200 feet, great central location. The hotel is remodeling and has a ways to go yet. Good staff and nice meals, not overly fancy but that was fine with me. The lift does go to all floors but some rooms are accessed of the central hall via a few low steps, ask first. Upper rooms are hot without a/c, so ask about a fan.

Area recommendations

Take in the contrast between the old town 16 & 17th C and the new town 18th C.

Getting around

Take the city bus #15 out to Rosslyn Chapel it is a half hour bus ride. The chapel tour takes about an hour. The grounds are under development so there is no close in parking. The site is about 5-10 min walk from the bus stop on a paved road, no sidewalk.

“Great location”

Perfect location for transportation and access to shopping, attractions and services (e.g. money changing facillities). The hotel can be accessed within a couple of minutes (walking) from the main railway station. If you want to go to see the Royal Yacht Britannica the number 22 bus stops virtually outside the hotel on Princes Street (and they run frequently). The hop on hop off bus for a good overview of the old town stops nearby too (opposite the exit of the railway station). In the shopping mall opposite the hotel and adjacent to the railway station you will find a good money changing outlet (important for overseas travellers). The hotel reception is on the first floor but there is a lift. While the hotel could probably do with a little facelift (esp. carpets in the hallways) overall I would recommend staying there. The room size was quite good and the coffee and tea making facilities in the room were welcome. I ate in the restaurant and found the service prompt and the food was fine and not too expensive. The dining area overlooks the town and so a really good view of the old town. I would stay there again if I visit Edinburgh in the future and recommend it to any traveller or family of travellers.
