“Edinburgh House Hotel strikes me as a budget-friendly option that hasn't lost its Victorian-era charm. The location, while not in the very center, still places you within easy reach of Edinburgh's main attractions. For those looking to explore the city without breaking the bank, and who appreciate period details, this could be a worthwhile choice.”

A Mixed Experience
obvious hole absent soundproofing
The location is close to a bus stop. It takes only 5 minutes to get to the city center.
I noticed a hole in the floorboards. The carpet covered it up. I could clearly see it when walking in the room. The soundproofing was non-existent. I could hear every noise.

comfortable stay with convenient access
central location reasonable price
i liked that the location was central. all the main attractions were within walking distance, including theaters, a cinema, bars, and restaurants. the price was very reasonable for a hotel in this area.
the staircase was narrow, and there was no lift to the upper floors. this made carrying large luggage difficult.
