10 Best Hotels near Edinburgh Playhouse 2025

The room is very artistic in style. Although the price is a bit expensive, the service is really good. When checking in, they will try their best to meet all your room requirements!

This is not a 5 star hotel! I have to be honest, I have stayed in many 5 star hotels across Asia and to come to Scotland I had hoped for better. I booked this hotel for two nights with my daughter who is in her 20’s. Check in was swift and the twin room we were allocated was basic and not very big. Our room overlooked the Usher Hall and Castle. Breakfast the first morning was very disappointing. There is no buffet breakfast, only al a carte. You were to choose a starter eg. Porridge, overnight oats and then a main: full cooked breakfast, pancakes with bacon. However, all the food came together, which meant that if we’d eaten the yogurt first, the main courses would have been cold. I complained to two different servers and neither of them offered so much as an apology. To use the One Spa, you have to have booked a spa room or pay extra…definitely not worth it. This should be included for all rooms. Don’t book this hotel, there are many better hotels in Edinburgh for the same if not less money.

Check in at the front desk. Since we arrived in the morning, we thought we couldn't check in yet. Unexpectedly, we were given a room, which was pretty good. However, what happened later affected our good reviews. The room card I was given couldn't be opened. I went back to the front desk to set it up, and when I went back to the room, the door was open, but it turned out that it was not the room type I booked. I booked a room with a king-size bed and a sofa bed, but I was given a room with only a king-size bed. So I went back to the front desk... The front desk said that the system of Ctrip and their hotel was different, so they couldn't be sure that I booked a room with a sofa bed. I showed them the confirmation letter again and asked them to find the manager for me. Let us use the current room first. So we went out to play and planned to come back later. At night, there was still no room, and the manager asked me to show the confirmation letter again. Then he said that the sanitation was still being cleaned, and it was expected to be more than an hour before I could get the room, and he would call the current room. As a result, after more than an hour, I was finally given the room I wanted. Hahaha, it was quite a hassle.

Very good, the service is very enthusiastic. When we arrived at the hotel at night, the handsome guy at the front desk upgraded our room. It is super large with a living room and two washbasins. The environment is also very clean and tidy. It is very close to Edinburgh Railway Station. You can see the entrance of the railway station when you come out of the back door of the hotel. If I have the opportunity to come to Edinburgh next time, I will still choose this hotel

The hotel is completely British aristocratic style, the room environment is first class, the wash basin is old-fashioned, and it feels great! There are all kinds of old things in the living room. All in all a great hotel, one of the rare ones!

The location is very good. Amenities, room and food like snacks and breakfast buffets are nice. There was a hotel carpark, which was convenient to those driving to Edinburgh. Will book this hotel again if visit Edinburgh further.

Hotel is just outside the train station and walking disrance to all main attractions.The hotel decoration gives a great vibe to the place. Staff is warm and welcoming. Room is a bit small, but nice and comfortable. Free snacks and drinks were a big plus! Excellent restaurant in the hotel and laundry at reasonable price. Amazing stay!
