Hotels in Edinburgh Old Town, Edinburgh

This hotel is conveniently located near the city's train station. It has a front desk and luggage storage (for a fee of £3 per piece). Check-in time is 2 PM, and check-out time is 10 AM. The hotel is apartment-style, with spacious and clean rooms, each equipped with a kitchen, kettle, refrigerator, microwave, and tableware. However, there is no elevator, and the toilet and bathroom are located in the hallway. The front desk service is not very friendly to Chinese guests. If you don't mind the type of hotel when traveling to Edinburgh, this hotel is a good option.

The room was clean, and although the facilities felt a bit dated, they perfectly fit the Holiday Inn style. Situated next to a church, the soundproofing must have been excellent, as it was very quiet at night. Most of the staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was quite good. Excellent location. They even allowed for an early check-in as soon as a room was available.

Spent one night solo at St Christopher’s in the centre of Edinburgh and it did exactly what I needed: a safe, social, great-location base for exploring. Location-wise, it’s hard to beat — super central and walkable to the Old Town sights, shops, cafés, and transport, which made it perfect for a short stay. As a solo traveller, I really appreciated the friendly, lively vibe. There were plenty of people around, and it felt easy to chat in the common areas without it being awkward. The room was basic but fine for a night: comfortable enough, decent storage, and it felt secure. Bathrooms were generally okay (hostel-style—expect busy times), and the overall place felt well run. The only real downside is that, because it’s central and social, it can get a bit noisy, especially later in the evening—earplugs are a good idea if you’re a light sleeper. Overall, great value for a one-night solo stay in central Edinburgh. Tip: bring earplugs + a small padlock, and check in a little earlier if you want a calmer bunk/room choice.

It was 850meter walk upon arrival at Edinburgh Waverley train station. Through slopes, stairs and uneven roads. Heavy luhgage is strongly not recommended. Fast check in and check out. Great amenities with clean kitchen full with amenities. Toilet a bit small and could be dirty at times. No lifts so have to carry luggage all the way up to 3rs floor. Beds are comfy and clean. As it's bunk bed, so it could be quite disturbing when the other is moving inconsiderably vigorously.

When we arrived our room was ready an hour early which was a good start and it only got better. The staff where all very helpful and knowledgeable. The breakfast had a great selection and was kept well filled, the swimming pool although not huge was never busy but it was January and it pleasantly warm. Overall a lovely hotel in a great location only 15 mins walk from Princess street and about 10mins from Edinburgh Castle. We had a lovely stay and would stay there again.

Room has no air con, and many steps up the lobby. Many basic amenities cost money (such as slippers) , parking additional charge at £10/nights Locations is good, Victoria street literally just outside of the hotel. Endinburgh Castle view is available from the main entrance of the hotel.

Mixed experience – not quite 4-star quality for the price I recently stayed at the Edinburgh Marriott Hotel and, unfortunately, had to request a room change upon arrival. The first room didn’t feel like what you’d expect from a 4-star hotel, especially at nearly £200 per night. It was very basic—no carpet, no robe, and no slippers. The room felt empty, more like a budget option than a premium stay. We were moved to another room, which did have a carpet, but it was essentially the same situation—still no slippers or robe etc. That said, there were a few positives: the location is great, the breakfast was really nice, and the pool itself was a good facility. Overall, I might stay here again, but only if the price reflects the actual experience. At this rate, I expected a bit more attention to detail and comfort.

A last minute booking as my flight was delayed and couldn’t make connecting train, everything was fine, bottom bunk a little short on headroom but fine for sleeping, everything clean but energy saving toilets often didn’t flush but thats just down to water power, Perfect location could’ve better placed with its own bar and 5 mins walk to train station and city centre

The front desk was very friendly, offering complimentary cookies and even upgrading us to a city view room. The city view room was spacious and had good amenities. The hotel breakfast was simple.

Great location in the heart of the Grassmarket with everything close by. The hotel sits a little low so there is no real view of the castle, but the convenience of the area more than makes up for it. Amenities were good and thoughtfully put together. The little rubber duck for bath time was a charming touch and the room itself was clean, comfortable and well equipped. I really appreciated the hotel’s sustainability approach, especially the way they manage water use. It is encouraging to see a hotel taking practical steps to reduce its environmental impact. Overall, a comfortable stay in a brilliant central spot with some lovely small touches.
