Went to see a show at the Playhouse. Being near the train station was very handy. The room was like my grannys house 40 years ago. I think a bit of updating. The curtains were hanging off the rail and broken sockets on the wall were a bit scary. One thing the hotel owner forgot to say to us was... More

I had a terrifying experience at Beresford Hotel.Even though I had made reservations over the phone when I reached the hotel I was told that the room was not available and instead only a room with a shared shower was. The staff member then started getting aggressive, abusive and offensive.It was already 6:30pm and was raining heavily outside and I... More

On a trip to Edinburgh a few of us stayed at the Beresford. On first impressions the hotel looks tired and a bit dated. We were given our keys and made our way to the rooms. Unfortunately it looked like the rooms hadn't been updated since the 1960's, they where absolutely awful, the carpet was disgusting and the furniture tired... More

very pleasant stay - the room was a bit small but very clean. Breakfast was good and hosts very helpful. Hotel is about 15mins walk from the castle in a quiet residential location, 5mins from haymarket station More

I stayed here April 28-30(checking out May1), 2007. If you use Haymarket Station for your travel, Beresford Hotel is the place I recommend. It's just a 3 minute walk from Haymarket, also close enough to the city centre. You can either catch a bus(5 minutes) or just take a good walk to the city. There are some nice little shops... More

Located near the Haymarket station in Edinburgh and about a 15 minute walk to the Castle. It's relatively convenient to a handful of restaurants and pubs near Haymarket. The hotel is in good shape and decently decorated, nothing impressive but nothing shabby either. The room was very tiny, ours had a queen bed and not much more room to put... More

I was staying at the Beresford hotel for 5 nights on my own. I was in Edinburgh doing some work experience for university. I thought the hotel was excellent. It was within 5 minutes walking distance of my workplace and only another 5 minutes from Princes Street. I was treated very well as on one of the mornings of my... More

A bit disappointing. Rude email exchange on reservation confirmation, extremely small rooms, booked 3 months ahead and still was put in the lower level basement with profunctory -" that is all we have." Ok location and walkable to most tourist attractions. Good for budget travellers. More

The Beresford is well located, close to the heart of edinburg, but far enough to be a quiet place. The hotel and room were very clean, the staff very friendly, and the rooms serviced daily. We had a double ensuite bedroom. We were located in the basement, so there was not too much light, but for the little time we... More
