            “Go ahead and book this gem at a great price”

            Booked this hotel for 3 nights in March 2024, After reading some of the reviews, wondered if I was crazy! My wife who I should describe as meticulous rather than fussy was also nervous about what we'd encounter. Apart from the rather indifferent welcome at reception (think Glasgow Charm School nearly passed) everything has been marvellous. The room on the 1st floor was spacious and clean - as was the en-suite shower room. Bed was comfortable with sparkling clean fresh linen. Maid had cleaned the room and replaced the towels while we were out for the day. Heating from the radiator can accurately be described as blaring (think Mephistopholes) - but for a Winter stay it was perfect. It does shut off overnight automatically though. You'd need a wrench to alter it yourself though. The room has so many electrical sockets that you can access, I can only assume the electrician had a version of ADHD and Alzheimers at the same time. The bed was very comfortable - but only 1 pillow each when I usually sleep with 2. Its city location is excellent - a quiet setting despite being set back a little from a busy at times main road - about a mile or so to the castle with a bus stop outside the front door. We had driven up so the private parking included in the rear courtyard was a bonus. Also of note is a Sainsbury supermarket and many fast food chains at a small mall a 5 minute walk away (opposite the Travelodge on the street corner.) For the record, you can't swing a cat around in the shower cubicle - but as pets are not allowed, this was never a problem for us. The following morning saw a new receptionship but clearly a classmate of the first one. Go ahead and book this gem at a great price. (Search the comparison sites as there was a £20 difference between them)

            “A week in Edinburgh ”

            I travelled with my friend to Edinburgh for the week and we stayed at the Northumberland Hotel. The location is excellent with the bus stop being a 1 minute walk from the hotel. Similarly, the value for money was good and the staff were friendly and helpful. However, it was not the cleanest, especially in the toilets and the water pressure is extremely light. The hotel is also not ideal for any customers with accessibility issues as there is no elevator and the stairway is very narrow. Lastly, it seems they switch off the heating system during the night. Seeing as we stayed during January, it was very cold during the nights so this was a big issue. However, upon mentioning this to the staff member, we did receive a portable heater. I would not recommend buying breakfast as the facilities open from 10:30 and we never received anything. It seems there were fridges where you could add your own food? All in all, if you are looking for a cheap place to stay, close to most of the main attractions, and are not planning to spend a lot of time in the hotel, I would recommend it. It wasn’t the best however it is definitely worth it considering the price :)

            “No frills, but fine”

            I booked this last minute during the Edinburgh Fringe. I was worried about the quality because of some of the other reviews, but it was totally fit for purpose— good location, clean enough (not sparkling, but not gross), comfortable bed. The walls are a bit thin so you can hear other people closing doors etc but the hotel itself was very quiet. For a super last minute booking at the height of festival season, you could do a lot worse for more money. The fact that there is a bus stop with a slew of buses literally outside the hotel is really excellent. I wouldn’t necessarily book this if you plan on spending a lot of time in the hotel (it’s not luxury), but if you want a decently priced option that’s well-located and offers a comfortable place to sleep, shower, and leave your things, it’s just fine. I’d book again in a pinch.

            “Better than expected ”

            I was honestly expecting the worst for this accommodation because of the reviews I’ve read but honestly it wasn’t bad at all. The location is great the bus stop is just right in front of the hotel. The room itself is clean apart from 1 towel with a small stain on it. Only downside is during the evening on our 2nd night, after a while the how water stopped working. Idk if it only works up to a certain time because the 1st night we didn’t have this problem. Also it would be better if windows could be open.

            “Comfortable stay”

            Hotel is handy commute distance to central Edinburgh sights, either park the car up & catch bus right outside the hotel or short taxi, or we walked 30 mins enjoyed the exercise. Hotel room breezy with window open but on main road can be noisy. Ask for room at back if wanting quieter. Room good for short sightseeing stay, functional & okay transient stop, felt safe area for onsite car parking & large shopping centre next door.
