Nice little hotel, room was big and clean, the breakfast was lovely and the bar (which was next door, but residents could enter via hotel) was also good, friendly staff and a mixed bag of locals, students,(both local and from abroad) as well as having sky sports and a good selection of beers plus a good menu that served till... more

We stayed at the Links hotel this past weekend, and it was not at all what we expected from a 3 star hotel. First of all, I think the primary business of the Links is a pub, so attention is clearly not on the hotel, which is apparent in the decor and upkeep. Our heater wasn't working and no one... more

Warning, you may find yourself either sleeping over a very noisy pub or next to the very noisy pub. We were unlucky enough to stay in the room right above the pub on Karoke night. The following evening we were serenaded by a group of very happy college boys singing "The Gangs All Here" at the table outside. If you... more

This hotel is a good choice for groups of young people in particular (Stags, Hens etc) due to its decent bar, which has a 24 hour licence for residents and plasma screens and pool tables, and the reasonable room rates which can be obtained from some sites. We booked two twin rooms but both rooms had three single beds and... more

I needed to stay in Edinburgh on a weekend when some 6 Nations rugby was going on in town. You may find that the city is quite booked up during this period. I called the Links first but they told me they were full. I checked on-line though, and it said there was a room and made the reservation for... more

The Links provides good accomodation at affordable prices - something which is becoming more and more rare these days, especially in Edinburgh, where most accomodation is double or quadruple the price we paid. We stayed here because it was a convenient location for visiting our student daughter just around the corner. We were aware that it's pub is a student... more

My husband and I stayed at the Links during the last week in November. We thought the room we stayed in was great. It overlooked a park that we could see through this enormous window. The people who worked there were so nice to us. In the pub, there is food and that was delicous. A full breakfast came with... more

The room (301) had poor lighting and only one bedside lamp. Her side. Almost had to go into the bathroom to read the paper. Service was iffy. At check in we waited 5 minutes for someone to appear. We were on top floor and on second day the electronic key was incorrectly programmed. No apology when I had to descend... more

For serious partygoers only. Stayed for Hen weekend, and accomodation is cramped and the shower room was not the nicest, but is above a bar, and next to the park and generally a good location. They only give you a tiny towel so take your own. The room next door smelled terrible as full of a boys weekend. but we... more
