Me and my boyfriend stayed at the Travelodge in Rose Street for a 5 day break over the new year period. I was really pleased with this hotel and it was much cheaper than other hotels in the city centre.
At first impressions, the hotel looked quite small from the outside but our room was very spacious with a large double bed and an ensuite bathroom with a big shower. There wasn't much space for hanging up our clothes but this didn't bother us much as we just decided to leave our luggage in our suitcases. The room was very clean and housekeeping came in every day to clean the room. The room also came with tea and coffee making facilities.
This hotel is in a fantastic location and perfect for people who want to enjoy Edinburgh's nightlife. The hotel is on a street full of bars so you don't have to walk far after you have had a few drinks. Our room was at the back of the hotel and we did not hear much noise from the streets despite Rose Street being very busy throughout both day and night. The hotel is also around the corner from Princes Street and the main tourist attractions in the city. This hotel is in the heart of Edinburgh and is in a perfect location. It is also a lot cheaper than other hotels in the city. The hotel was very secure with the main doors locking at midnight and a key card system to access the hallway to the rooms and a key card to enter the hotel room.
The only down side to the hotel is that the lift was broken and we had to carry two heavy suitcases to the third floor. It was quite tiring to run up and down the stairs every day and a lift would have been useful but it wasn't that much of a big deal. It probably would have affected elderly people more than it affected us.
This is a brilliant hotel in the heart of Edinburgh and I would definitely come back to this hotel again.
