Hotels near Tesco Esso Express, Edinburgh

had a fantastic stay here! there were 10 of us who all booked out a dorm. was quiet, clean and good quality. there are two bathrooms and two toilets per dorm which i thought was very good. our room wasn’t ready for an extra half an hour so they gave us free drink tokens for the bar! the reason this doesn’t get 5 stars is because it was awfully hot in the room - even with the window open! there didn’t seem to be air con - we wondered even if the hostel had put the heating on? we didn’t try the breakfast. the hotel bar had decent food but long waits.

This is a good place for backpackers. We stayed here for a couple of nights in a 12 bed dormitory. The beds were good with ample space to keep our stuffs. Toilers were clean. The receptionists were friendly and approachable. The check-in time is 2 PM, so if you arrive early, you'll need to wait in the locker room and help yourself to some coffee. Or else you can keep your bags in a locker and roam around the city till you are ready to check-in. Early check-in is also available, but subject to availability of beds/rooms. Overall, quite good.

Good value for money and excellent location in Edinburgh. Our flat was spacious and comfortable for a three-day stay. With each bedroom being en suite we all had comfortable sleeping and living arrangements. The kitchen was well appointed and the reception desk even gave us shampoo and dishwasher soap tablets. As it was warm, they also made fans available at no cost to anyone who wanted one. We travel to Edinburgh every summer. We absolutely plan to return to Destiny Murano next July.

The cost for this room was very cheap so I didn't expect a lot of frills. I had let them know that my plane landed at 9 am and was informed that the room would be ready at 2 pm, but they would secure our luggage until check in time. Sounded perfect but upon arrival was confronted by a person who ask how we got in (the door was unlocked), so I explain who we were and that we had paid reservation. Once he checked it out (lack of communication) he took our luggage. We went to the Abbey had breakfast and some beers hung out and talked to locals. Then we walked around the corner sat a few minutes till they opened the door. We were given our room key and two door keys,instruction on checking out and how to get a hold of him. The room was simple but clean;our luggage was in the room;plenty of towels, toilet paper, shower gel, and shampoo.I love the idea of having the keys so we could come and go as we pleased. The building is pretty old, with very tall windows and a nice view of a green yard with black/white birds. My first impression was oh no...but I settled down and checked out things they had everything we needed. Free wi-fi (password on bathroom door) shower/toilet in room (which I requested) clean beds and TV with quite a few channels.If you wanted glam with your room go somewhere else and pay for it. Yet if you want just a room to sleep and freshen up, close to bus stops,bank, ATM and food/drink establishments then this is the place for you. My sister didn't care for her bed but all beds seem out of whack compared to your own. I slept fine in mine. Even tho the main street was an ambulance easy route to the hospital the room was very quiet and with drapes drawn very dark.

I've never stayed in a hostel before, let alone in a former jail revamped as one ! Besides the gimmick, the Court is a wonderful place to stay if you are visiting Edinburgh, whether on a budget or not : fantastic location near the St Giles cathedral (where city tours seemingly start from), super friendly staff and surprisingly clean amenities (first time experience in a hostel so I didn't know what to expect quite frankly). Would definitely recommend !

The mattress was so bad, it wasn't a matter of softness or firmness, but the feeling of sleeping on springs, and I managed to resist it after sleeping for three days. No hair dryer, no hair dryer, no hair dryer. Borrowed three times and said no more. The location is good, there is a supermarket when you go out, there is a tram at the airport, and it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the city center. The front desk is also friendly. The communal kitchen is also clean and hygienic. The toilet feels good but has a urine smell all the time. . .

After staying in a number of hotels in Edinburgh, Novotel Edinburgh Park is definitely of highest quality in this price range. The location is perfect if you are working outside of the city but want to still experience the city centre at night. Edinburgh Park train station and tram stop are very close to the hotel with frequent services to neighbouring towns and Waverley station (city centre). The train is quickest to Waverley at only 9 mins and costs as little as £2.70 at super off peak times for a return ticket. The hotel rooms are spacious and clean. There are hundreds of channels on the 55” TVs. The beds are comfy and there is a temperature regulator fan (not air conditioning). The bathrooms are clean and well furnished. Executive rooms get some more toiletries than standard rooms. Some rooms have baths and some have stand-in showers. (Maybe you can note your preference when booking) Breakfast is definitely worth paying for. There’s a huge selection of food options, something for everyone. Hot food and continental style breakfast is offered and is a buffet style. The restaurant is large but can be very busy in the evenings. Car parking is offered at a member rate (Accor ALL account holders) of £6 per day. I would rate the hotel very highly, after staying here a number of times over the past few months and with more bookings in the not so distant future. I look forward to returning!

Hotel is close to Haymarket station and well connected to public transport just 10 min walk. Service is good

I booked a a night within the hotel on Halloween as we had booked a walking ghost tour within the city. It was a bit of a walk down to the Royal mile taking about 25 mins but as it was dry it was ok. The hotel was fantastic, the reception staff were lovely and very helpful. The entrance lobby was warm and clean, very inviting. All of the corridors were very well maintained, clean and beautifully decorated. Our room was very spacious with a queen sized bed, seating area and a good sized bathroom. The room again was nicely decorated and well equipped. Due to the restrictions the hotel restaurant was closed but we were allowed to order food into the hotel and the receptionist even pointed us in the direction of local shops. I would recommend the hotel and will most probably stay again.

Good location if based in Leith, buses from downtown and the airport express 200 stop directly outside and close to the Leith canal walkway which is nice. Currently lots of construction of the tram outside which makes the location look uglier and harder to navigate than normal. Rooms are good clean and acceptable size. Breakfast is ok. Some of the staff are quite surly, very grumpy when I checked in and refused to help me extend my booking, forcing me to have to book another place.
