Le Monde is a great place to stay when visiting Edinburgh. It is walking distance to the train station and to many bars and resturants. The rooms are comfortable, funky, quirky and nice to be in. The staff are fabulous as is the bar and the breakfasts. I always stay there when in Edinburgh.

Save money and go to Wetherspoons,staff are so unfriendly food is shocking for the price burger and fries (hollow fries cooked to death)£16 not any better than McDonald's, the rump steak basically boil in the bag beef £21, sponge cake served up as cheese cake no ice cream or cream £8 and pavlova was a cheap ring of meringue with a scoop of sorbet and drip of passion fruit £8, remember the 10% service charge on food and 5% on drinks. £276 down for three people it was disappointing.

We booked an executive double bedroom for 6 nights. This was very spacious particularly the shower room. The walls were adorned with numerous photos and even a motto about the mythological Paris. There was a lovely birds eye view of the street and Christmas lights from our third floor window. Unfortunately trying to get to sleep was difficult before 3am due to the adjacent night club. On the second night the lift broke down and the doors could not be pulled open and we were stuck in the rather small lift. The alarm bell met with no response and I had to contact the hotel using my mobile phone. What if I had no phone?? In the room there were no arm chairs. The whole room had only 2 electrical charging points on a rather cramped window table and nothing beside the beds. The toilet/wash hand basin room was restricted with totally insufficent space for toiletries and hand towels. It could have done with an external outside vent. When checking in, the hotel desk was not aware that the booking was for 2 people even though the reservation email stated 2 adults. Late in our stay both digital keys failed to function. To conclude on a happier note, the staff in the restaurant were very friendly and obliging and I got a quick response from room staff regarding the operation of the rather fancy dimmable light switches! …

After visiting the Le Monde during the Fringe Festival for a show, I decided to return for a coffee and cake with some friends on Sunday morning. Worst decision ever. The hot drinks arrived, had to wait so long that we'd finished our drinks before the cakes arrived. I wanted some further hot water for the tea, and after asking 2 members of staff nothing materialised. I watched the staff pass by as if on another planet unable to engage or see that plates could be cleared or engage to establish if everything was OK or if anything further could be provided. Never again will I return, a very embarrassing experience taking some friends. I did get to share my experience with the manager who did give a 25% reduction gesture but I'll never return. You could tell that his attitude and behaviour drove the culture of the team. "Just did not want to be there".…

We were due to stay at this hotel last weekend, however, due to storm Babet, our train from London was cancelled. Unfortunately, the hotel was less than understanding and failed to realize the significance of us not being able to get to Edinburgh. The manager even said that she managed to get from Glasgow ok and the forecast was quite nice for the next couple of days. Not very helpful to us if we can’t get to Edinburgh from London. I asked if we could amend the dates rather than lose almost £400 for the 2 night stay. The duty manager said this was not possible as it was a non refundable booking, but would make some enquirers and get back to me. No one from the hotel got back to me, it seems they were just happy to take our money. We will definitely stay somewhere else when we finally get to Edinburgh in the spring.…

This hotel is on the main drag and around a lot of shopping. Easy to get to old town, restaurants, tours, etc. Each room has it's theme and was beautiful. Would highly recommend this hotel. We didn't have a view, but the rooms and bed was comfortable.

I stayed at le Monde after getting stuck with storm babet, it was a stressful time but the staff when I arrived were exceptional. Rosie who served me breakfast is an absolute darling so kind caring and goes above and beyond. Jasmine the manager who was on Thursday 19th October 2023 was also so kind and understanding and gave me a reduced rate due to my circumstances, this touch I can’t express what it meant to me. Maria on reception was a little gem too. These 3 girls are really wonderful and a huge thank you to them. The room was amazing and the bar staff and housekeeping staff also so lovely. Friday 20th front house staff not so good I’m afraid only writing this now as when asked for the other girls names to write a review thst gave me their names. I never write bad reviews being in business myself but that was unkind. Huge thank you to le Monde can’t wait to come back. …
