This is a convenient option for any visits to Edinburgh. The location next to the Haymarket station is perfect -- easily accessible by train and the airport buses. The hotel itself is a cute old building. I never managed to get hot water in my shower, but other than that I loved it.

Great value, slightly quirky hotel

Great value slightly quirky but It's the cheapest hotel in the area. Yes it could do with a lick of paint and bathrooms need an upgrade but it's clean. Best part is the manned reception with friendly helpful staff and real keys - no faffing with cards and codes. This was my 2nd stay, hope to be back again next year

The property is in a great location , we had an issue with our room that was rectified right away . The night person was awesome and friendly he was new and didn’t know the protocol asked us to check with the manager in the morning. She got a little defensive about it . Given the age of the building it is to be expected to have some quirks may I suggest new caulking around the tubs , check the tv reception in the rooms provide an avail channel guide , if you are booking and want to avoid 70 steep steps to your room request a mid level or lower floor to save the legs . Overall we had a pleasant stay .

A nice piece of heritage property that is so convenient for transportation and dining, and walking to Dean Village. Well worth the value compared to other properties around. Getting breakfast thrown in was a pleasant surprise. Wifi was a bit unstable where I was on the top floor and TV could be bigger.

Good location. Comfortable bed and pillows. Quiet rooms. Had some free pastries and hot drinks by the reception. Downside is the weak flushing of the toilet and water can get too hot in the tap and the hot and cold faucet are separate so you cannot mixed them to control the temperature.

This property needs a little tender loving care. Serviceable, but needs a lot of work to bring it up to the prices they are charging.

A nice hotel in a building with a lot of character. I liked the retro feel of the bedrooms but can see why other may say it's dated. It does have a lot of stairs and no elevator (as advertised) but this was not an issue for us. Staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The location is good at about 20mins walk to the Scott monument or Grassmarket.

Smells like a nursing home. Seems to be falling apart a bit. The beds were soft and the staff carried our bags to our room because there is no elevator. Overall a nice stay. Shower curtains need to be changed.. moldy. Great location!

Eliza hotel!!!

Like going back to 1970. Cushioned headboard. Bath awful/filthy. Shower, what a hairdresser would use. Shelves on top of shelves, couldn’t reach the windows to open or shut curtains, trim falling off in bathroom. Iron board filthy.couldn’t open the wardrobe door for the bed. 1 bed ok the other just squeaked springs had gone.

Quirky and good value.

Very enjoyable stay, maybe the decor was a bit tired but this was reflected in the reasonable price. Staff were very attentive and kind and I appreciated reception being manned 24 hours. Very good value.
