Old Town hotel keeps the party going
Originally built in 1621 for the Guild of Tailors, Tailors Hall Hotel was established in 1998 following a full restoration of the property. But history is not really the focal point here -- instead, it is the lively, fun-loving atmosphere, central location and affordable rates that keep fans of the Tailors Hall Hotel coming back. The distinctive stone building contains 42 guest rooms, from singles to quads. Some Tailors Hall Hotel guest rooms overlook the spacious courtyard that serves as home to The Three Sisters pub, an Edinburgh hot spot.
Highlights
- Situated in a courtyard with The Three Sisters pub
- Five-minute walk to the Royal Mile
- All rooms and public areas are nonsmoking
Rooms
Tailors Hall Hotel guest rooms provide just the right amount of amenities so guests can lay down their heads for a few hours before hitting the pavement again the next morning. A central location near the Royal Mile means all of the best sights of Edinburgh are nearby.
Choose from single, twin, double, triple and quadruple rooms. Each features free high-speed Internet access, an LCD flat-panel television, in-room movies (fees apply), air conditioning, tea- and coffee-making facilities, an in-room safe and en-suite facilities with complimentary bath amenities and a hair-dryer. Some guest rooms overlook the courtyard and The Three Sisters.
Entertainment
For Scottish hospitality, historic character, live music and a great pint, look no further than The Three Sisters, right outside the door of the Tailors Hall Hotel. The fun-loving atmosphere hits a new level when the cobblestone courtyard fills with revelers on festivals and special occasions. Live sports and music events are shown on the large plasma screen in the courtyard. The lager and the cocktails flow freely, but for guests that must eat, they can do that here, too. Room service is available for guests of the Tailors Hall Hotel.

Two sisters in The Three Sisters
Thank you to a brilliant team staff, we where really well looked after and nothing seemed to be a problem for the hotel staff, even down to finding us some history on the Three Sisters( adjoining bar ) and more importantly putting us up for another night when we missed our flight home. Would definitely recommend The central Hotel and The Threes Sisters if you like it lively ( its not very noisy at all) and like people watching, if you are into the rugby stay here, has a huge outdoor screen, outdoor bars, under cover seating and heating all in an enclosed secured area, absolutely brilliant atmosphere. you should go !!

Central Hotel
I would strongly advise not staying at this hotel - it's a very noisy, very crowded bar complex with a few rooms added on - fine if you want to party till 3 am but otherwise forget about getting any sleep here, and don't expect any sympathy from the surly staff - one to avoid!

Great location and amenities!
Just steps away from the Golden Mile! Clean bathroom with hot water and tropical soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Marshmallow chocolate, not on the pillow, but pretty darn close. Only wish WiFi reached the room because had to go to the reception for it.

Book somewhere else!
Rooms, Decor and overall place is dirty. Reception has a large stain on the carpet and chairs with peeling leather - a preview of what's to come. Rooms had not been cleaned in some time - peeling wallpaper, cobwebs and dirt. This would be great if I was filming a B-horror movie but fails as a place to stay. It has a pub downstairs, which could be nice - but in the morning for the optional breakfast service, everything is sticky. Everything. Do yourself a favor and book somewhere else. At least the staff was cheerful, much in the same way the band kept playing on the Titanic.

Watch out
The hotel is part of a complex that includes a very large bar which attracts big groups of people, especially Stag and Hen dos. This means it is very noisy. When I challenged the staff at 2am as they were rolling kegs of beer across the cobbled courtyard. I was simply told by the duty manager that there should be a warning on the site that it may not always be possible to sleep well there - I'VE NEVER HEARD ANYONE SAY ANYTHING LIKE THIS, A HOTEL THAT ACKNOWLEDGES IT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE FOR GUESTS TO SLEEP. Also although apparently good value, the charge does not include breakfast despite the fact that nowhere does it say 'room only'. I was gob-smacked at the response I got when I asked why it wasn't explained on the site or my confirmation.

Not A Bad Place
This hotel is reasonably priced for its location. The room has a comfortable bed and a very powerful shower. However the rrom wasn't the cleanest with a nice disgarded tisue under the radiator, and its fairly run down but for the price I suppose one can't really complain. People must be aware that the hotel is attached to a lively pub, which come a Friday and Saturday night gets very loud! Perfect if your a party person not so if you like an early nights!
