PROS: Overall, we loved this hotel! The location was amazing, we loved that the main entrance was down a tiny cobblestone road. Everything was with in walking distance, including the main tourist strip and the station. We found a walking trail next to the hotel (you can't miss it) called "Calton Hill." It's a , pretty steep hill and it... More

The hotel is in a great little back road so it's in a quiet area. It is 5 minutes away form the station and walking distance to the center. The rooms are clean and tidy, old style but that's the way they wanted to keep it. I go to Edinburgh twice a year on business and I shall be coming... More

In terms of location you cannot get much better and it is quiet and the rooms are spacious enough and perfectly clean. What really let it down were the staff in the restaurant. There was one particularly unpleasant member of staff who really put a dampener on our one dinner and 2 breakfasts we spent there. If you can avoid... More

We stayed here for a theatre break, we stay in Edinburgh often and usually opt for the B&B's that rank high on this site. But they were all fully booked so we chose the Parliament House Hotel Edinburgh and were not disappointed. So very central, to Princes Street, Edinburgh Playhouse and the Old Town and just slightly back from the... More

Found this Hotel on the internet, located in a small quiet cobbled street. Lovely quiet Hotel we have stayed twice, the second time we were given a room which was located at the bottom of a spiral staircase after first going up in a lift , we did find this a bit of a problem. The food was great and... More

We stayed here on a Sat night in Feb when we were going to a show at the Playhouse. We found the hotel by chance on lastminute.com and were pleasantly surprised with the quality we got for our money and the location. The best bit was being only 5 minutes walk to the Playhouse but because it is on a... More

We stayed in Rooms 10 & 11 on 3rd floor..stairs only as no lift but we managed fine. Room 11 had fab views and... More

We booked last minute and paid £65 for a night here. Arriving late, we were met by a very grumpy manager who warmed up a little after a spot of banter. Our room was small but clean and smart. Overall, pretty good value as their rack rate for a double is £250. Wouldn't rush back but it's good enough More

We chose this hotel because of all the good reviews on trip advisor and must have been really unlucky. We arrived to an unsmiling welcome (most unusual in Edinburgh) and the room we were given (209) was nothing like the descriptions on trip advisor reviews. It was on the ground floor and had a really horrible outlook. The room was... More
