Bearing in mind this is a 3 star hotel, yes the decor is a bit 'tired' looking but the room (accessed by the spiral staircase) was clean & adequate. Staff courteous & helpful, breakfast ample & good value. Location is brilliant, short walk to the centre & right next door to Calton Hill which is well worth a visit, preferably... more

excellent location and very friendly staff. Our bathroom flooded and became very slippery every time we used the shower as the shower door was not adequate for the powerful shower. Mentioned to staff who seemed to be aware of the problem, Room quiet but broken and very rattly window which we managed to sort out by stuffing paper in the... more

I had often passed the Parliament House Hotel when working in Edinburgh and saw a winter break offer when looking to find accommodation for a reunion of friends. The location is superb for travelling around edinburgh on foot with all of the major attractions within easy reach. The lobby is deceptive, giving the impression of a very small hotel, though... more

Breakfast was good, and the hotel is on a quiet street which is helpful in a noisy city. Location is very convenient. BUT Room was dirty, cramped, rather shabby and accessible only by a spiral staircase (no help offered with luggage). I had to turn the double bed into a twin and request more towels, despite specifying a twin for... more

I've stayed 3 nights for a business meeting togehter with some colleagues. The place is warm and nice, the rooms are really bright and the bathroom is really clean. My favorite place was the lounge next to the entrace, there you can enjoy a drink and relax while watching the fireplace and enjoy the cosy atmosphere. The included breakfast was... more

I thought this hotel was excellent value considering its position and quality. My room was clean and reasonably modern, with an excellent bathroom and shower. It was equipped with everything you'd expect, with plenty of tea and coffee stuff. There was building work opposite the hotel which started at 7:30am - not the hotel's fault, and I wasn't able to... more

This hotel is a great place to start exploring the city (which, by the way, is FANTASTIC). The hotel is confy and rooms are average. The staff is great! From there I could go everywhere on foot. Even to the Edinburgh vaults by night. Great value. It's not expensive and VERY well located. Would choose it again. more

Very well located hotel with outstanding rooms. The hotel is 5 minutes walk from the train station. more

We booked this hotel back in November 2008 when we entered the Edinburgh Marathon. At the time we had no idea how convenient it would be for getting to the start of the race. An ideal venue for marathon runners. The staff arranged a room for us to have a shower in when we got back, which was really apprecaited... more
