When we arrived we were shocked by the outside front of the hotel, it looks like a converted low income housing project. The hotel itself was out of a bad movie, one small elevator for the entire building the rooms all had paper handmade signs on the doors with the room numbers and a note they were being replaced soon....

I stayed for one night in April a couple of years ago and it was really easy to find from the main station (Waverley). It's just at the other end of Prince's street onto the road that is practically straight ahead and is probably one of the better hotels I ever stayed in when coming to Edinburgh around that time....

I stayed here for one night in January 2008 and can't fault it. Check in no probs, same as check out, they allowed us to store our bags in a safe place until we left. The rooms were clean and comfortable. And the breakfast in the morning was absolutely beautiful. Nothing to fault at all. And its right opposite the... More

This hotel was pretty anonymous, fine for a few days sightseeing but absolutely zero wow factor. If all you want is a place to rest your head and forget about while you explore Edinburgh it's fine. But if you want a place to look forward to supplying atmosphere of an evening you'll have to go somewhere somewhat more expensive. But... More

I've stayed in hotels all over the world and the room we had was probably the smallest ever, not even room to wheel a case around the bed, no phone in the room and no mirror to use with the hairdryer. More importantly the breakfast was disgusting. Cereal old, stale, soft and full of sugar, yogurt too sweet to eat... More

The airport bus stops directly outside the hotel as is the pick up to go back. No lugging of cases no taxis etc required. The... More

Stay here for 3 nights in Jan 2009 as part of 4 weeks in Europe. Although the room was small, it definitely wasn't the smallest one of my trip. Had everything I needed. Position was great, reception staff friendly and helpful and the room was very clean. Breakfast room was beautifully presented, but the staff were a little lacking in... More

Myself and my partner stayed at the Clarendon for 2 nights over New Year 08. We chose the Airlink bus from the airport (bus stop 19 outside arrivals). Which was a lucky choice as it stops right outside, they operate every day except Christmas day and it is £3 single or £5 return. Plenty of luggage racks and it took... More
