Edinburgh Hotels with Wifi

"The room was clean; however, it was poorly lit, and the dark wall colors did not help at all. Although we chose a room without windows, we did not expect such poor ventilation or effectively none at all. Our room was located on the ground floor, and there was no reception, while the hotel Wi-Fi also did not work downstairs. Soundproofing was very poor, which contributed to a situation that left us quite dissatisfied. While my friend was in the common area trying to get a connection, she was disturbed by guests who were clearly intoxicated and were rude and abusive towards her. When I went to get her, I was also sworn at, and we quickly returned to our room to avoid the situation. She also noticed that several people passing through seemed to be familiar with these guests and did not acknowledgethe ongoing situation. Later in the evening, around 21:00, one guest began crying loudly and there was a heated argument between them and another guest. Due to the poor soundproofing, we could hear everything clearly. We tried contacting reception about the situation, but they did not answer our calls. We felt unsafe leaving the room. Eventually, someone came down and only asked the guests if they were okay, and the situation was left unresolved. The noise continued for quite some time, and our sleep was significantly disturbed. Overall, we felt unsafe staying here."

"Stayed at St Christopher’s Hostel, Edinburgh for a night and it was a good budget choice. The location is excellent, right in the city centre and close to the Old Town and main attractions. Check-in was easy and the staff were friendly and helpful. The dorm was basic but comfortable enough for a short stay. It can get a bit noisy, so earplugs help. Bathrooms and common areas were generally clean considering how busy it is. Overall, it’s a social, well-located hostel—great for meeting people and exploring the city, but not ideal if you want total quiet. Perfect for a short stay in Edinburgh."

"Bureaucracy is everywhere. The only praise I have is for the front desk staff who handled check-in and check-out, and the chefs in the restaurant who worked hard every day to prepare delicious meals. Specifically: 1. On the first day, at around 9 AM for breakfast, a middle-aged man at the cafeteria entrance asked me to open two room card sleeves. Only after seeing the actual room cards did he say 'OK, please come in.' This scene reminded me vividly of high school dormitory supervisors in impoverished, non-coastal provinces of mainland China back in 1998, who would inspect students' IDs every night, demanding they be pulled out and shown before allowing entry. On the second day, a middle-aged woman, and on the third day, a young man at breakfast, simply waved us in after seeing the room card sleeves, which felt much more like a proper hotel. 2. On the second day at noon, we went to Arthur for lunch. We decided to go back because the 2-person set meal from Arthur the night before – an Arthur burger and fries, plus soup and another dish – was excellent. My child and I were looking at the menu near the bar to decide what else to order when a male bartender rudely shouted, 'Don't order here, go sit at a table to order!' He then pointed to a sign on the wall stating 'No one under 18 allowed.' What the hell? We weren't drinking or smoking, so what business was it of his? Just because my child was near the bar? I was furious at that moment and shouted back, 'Easy! Easy! OK?' This person was clearly working with a lot of emotional baggage and overreacting; he absolutely should not be in this job. For example, he was chatting with guests at the next table, saying things like, 'I can speak four languages, German, etc.,' acting overly energetic in a quiet restaurant with only four guests. 3. On the third day morning at 9 AM, which was also check-out day, I was in the bathroom. The cleaning staff knocked on the door, wanting to clean. I directly informed them through two doors, 'I am shitting! You got it?!' 4. Still about breakfast: at 10:10 AM, there were still people eating, and I went to get a coffee. The cafeteria lady immediately told me off, saying, 'No, we're off duty.' I just burst out laughing then. In summary: Due to financial constraints, various schools in the UK convert student dormitories into tourist accommodations during holidays to generate revenue, which significantly fills financial gaps and becomes a major source of income for the schools. Simply put, since you're making money from this, you should do a good job. I pay for it. Summer camps are purely superstitious money sinks; students are the best business. You don't learn much or make friends at these camps. You'd be better off backpacking and staying in an 8-bed dorm at a YHA youth hostel."

"A very convenient hotel (close to Tynecastle and Gorgie City Farm station). The hotel is located within a football stadium and just 10mins away from Haymarket station and 20mins away from Princes Street. The hospitality is great by the staffs and the room has nice room interior with daily housekeeping service."

"At breakfast it was irritating that sitting 2people on the bench it meant that to get toast etc the inside person had to get the other person to move. Also had to keep catching waiters eye to get more coffee. Lovely receptionists"

"Room was very small and didn't feature in the photos. Bathroom good. Kitchen including fridge could do with a good scrub. People didn't clean up after themselves. Good location."

"I had generally a good stay at the Loft. It was clean, the sleeping pod was comfortable, I chose this place over their other location because of the kitchen facilities. The kitchen is really well equipped and the dining room/social area quite spacious. I want to give special shout out to receptionist Sigrid who was super nice and friendly. The downsides were: noise from the outside early in the morning and late at night - it’s the back alley of pubs and restaurants - deliveries, bins, loud people etc. But they provide good ear plugs for free so I slept quite well, providing that I fell asleep before the snore machine next to me. The other annoying thing was poorly fitting bed sheets that I had to constantly fix over the edges. And I think they should keep the kitchen door open whenever possible because it gets hot in there. And whoever is reading this: If you know you’re snoring like a tractor, so loud that even ear plugs don’t cancel that sound out - you shouldn’t maybe be staying in a hostel dorm with other people 🙃"

"Had a really lovely stay! The hotel was clean, modern, and felt very comfortable throughout. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, which made a big difference. The location was perfect for getting around easily, and everything we needed was close by. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others!🤩"

"This hotel is located next to a train station on the outskirts of Edinburgh, with a tram stop nearby for easy access to the city center or the airport. There's also a large supermarket just across the road, which is quite convenient. The room itself was fairly spacious, though I found it odd that there were no power outlets by the bed. It was a bunk bed setup, designed to sleep three, but for a single traveler, the top bunk just served as extra storage. As for cleanliness, it wasn't the most thorough. On the first day, the cleaning staff left the trash bin next to a chair and completely forgot to empty it. Later, I dropped some breadcrumbs on the floor, and even after moving chairs and other obstacles out of the way for two consecutive days, they still didn't bother to sweep. I really couldn't understand why."

"Very very close to the Edinburgh Waverley train station! The location is really convenient, located in the heart of the city. Check in was quick, staff quite nice. Bed is comfortable, and good privacy with the curtains. However, there were hair on the bedsheet. Enough toilet and shower facilities, although some are broken, I had to take a cold water shower."
