Had a big bathroom with a good bath, and the room was clean and had a good aesthetic. The staff are very kind and welcoming. Doors and reception is open all night which was really useful. They do take £100 upon checking in for safety or something which I’m waiting to get back. But other than that it was really nice, also had a bar and breakfast but we didn’t get a chance to check that out. View and area was great too. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b330c983-3305-4929-a20b-4ab04c2c6cdc-1765979827442.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8cf56d21-6665-4087-aa20-d670d5b74d14-1765979825445.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christie Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheila 25 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Clean room with a comfortable bed.

Next time in Edinburgh we will definitely stay here. ##### Philip Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### AUSTEN 24 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### New Town Old Values! If you are looking to stay in central Edinburgh for a great price this is the hotel for you. Split over two sites the venue is clean, brigh and modern. The Scottish breakfast was very tasty and included haggis and black pudding. Other options were available. One street up from the station so good travel links. Ask for a bedroom in the second block as it includes wonderful views of the city. ![View from 126](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bacb3ee2-7361-438e-8678-362af1dad176-1761294497010.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Great Breakfast](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/02867b38-fe6a-48ea-a807-8e951170b456-1761294508402.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### AUSTEN Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Mari 13 Nov 2025 Liked: Staff & service Staff were friendly, good decor throughout and very nice location close to lots of attractions. We did have a problem with the mattress being busted but to be fair to the staff when told about it in the morning they did say the room would blocked until a new mattress arrived so they were responsive. Unfortunately there was also a terrible smell in the bathroom (old urinal) which could be more difficult to sort given the age of the building - but a thorough flushing/cleaning is definitely needed. ##### Mari Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 31 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Other than the shower's water pressure being very low, everything was perfect. Good and clean room, comfortable bed, nice view (from fourth floor in my case), and St Andrew's Square with bus station (and Waverley train station shortly behind that) is right around the corner. ##### Christopher Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daugherty 27 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great old property. Our room had 12ft ceilings and was large and comfortable. Just far enough from Old Town to get away from main crowds. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. There’s a private on-site restaurant that was incredible for breakfast! All the sites are in walking distance. They were in the process of doing a remodel (late September) which is looking great. Otherwise they would’ve gotten 5 stars. Staff was available and attentive. I just reserve the 5 for the above and beyond stuff. ##### Daugherty Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Old Town Chambers, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Cheval-Old-Town-Chambers.h6175181.Hotel-Information) > - [Princes Street Party Palace Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Princes-Street-Party-Palace-Edinburgh.h17520400.Hotel-Information) > - [The Roseate Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Roseate-Edinburgh.h1381332.Hotel-Information) > - [Virgin Hotels Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Virgin-Hotels-Edinburgh.h74635444.Hotel-Information) > - [Beaverbank Place - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Beaverbank-Place-Campus-Residence.h6915060.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Edinburgh.h115987.Hotel-Information) > - [Adelphi Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Adelphi-Hotel.h7734202.Hotel-Information) > - [Britannia Hotel Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Britannia-Hotel-Edinburgh.h4533.Hotel-Information) > - [Staycity Aparthotels, Edinburgh, West End](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-West-End.h4435260.Hotel-Information) > - [a&o Edinburgh City - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ao-Edinburgh-City.h1594761.Hotel-Information) > - [Point A Edinburgh Haymarket ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h37166264.Hotel-Information) > - [Destiny Student Shrubhill - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Student-Shrubhill.h12691487.Hotel-Information) > - [Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Garner-Edinburgh-Haymarket-By-IHG.h5589159.Hotel-Information) > - [Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Wilde-Apartments-By-Staycity-Grassmarket.h39822833.Hotel-Information) > - [Apex Grassmarket Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Grassmarket-Hotel.h62750.Hotel-Information) > - [Tynecastle Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Tynecastle-Park-Hotel.h99931255.Hotel-Information) > - [House of Gods Royal Mile Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-House-Of-Gods-Royal-Mile.h38206083.Hotel-Information) > - [St Christopher's Edinburgh Old Town - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-St-Christophers-Edinburgh-Old-Town.h45754941.Hotel-Information) > - [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > - [CODE - The Court, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-CoDE-Pod-Hostels-THE-CoURT.h36150915.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel du Vin & Bistro Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Vin-Bistro-Edinburgh.h7728219.Hotel-Information) > - [BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-DogHouse-Edinburgh.h72942233.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Edinburgh Murrayfield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Edinburgh-Murrayfield.h579949.Hotel-Information) > - [Goblin Ha'](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Goblin-Ha.h9843141.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City West by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-City-West.h13364.Hotel-Information) > - [Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fingal.h38753319.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > - [The Scotsman Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Scotsman-Hotel.h570820.Hotel-Information) > - [Quartermile serviced apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Quartermile-Serviced-Apartments.h74811613.Hotel-Information) ---
