One of the best”
The room we had was not that big but its packed with all the comfort and essentials that we needed. Nice built in bluetooth speaker, coffee table/game machine, game consoles, complimentary water, tea, coffee and marshmallow biscuits. The staff were extremely helpful, gave us a map of the city and tips on how to get to top attractions, the breakfast at 3sisters is also quite nice, though the continental breakfast could've been better if there were more viands. At night the place outside the hotel could be noisy especially during Saturday but it wasn't too bad, we put on our music and the noise was drowned. Just a wee bit of suggestion, can you give guests another way of entering the hotel aside from the one that goes through the crowd partying at 3sisters? We felt unease when we had to go through the crowd who were tipsy and in party mode just so we can enter the hotel... But overall, the hotel was pleasant, and the staff was great, will definitely come back.

Fabulous, friendly and stylish little hotel”
I stayed with my daughter whilst looking at the university. Great central location, (it has a courtyard in front of hotel which has music or bands playing until late) so not for those who want peace and quiet, but really clean, funky and friendly hotel with great quality amenities (even hair straighteners if needed!) The staff were really friendly and helpful, giving great recommendations for cafes and restaurants. Cool little hotel, perfect for our short trip. Great value too.

Clean rooms with great amenities. For people that are not travelling light, do take note that the stairs is pretty lengthy if you’re carrying a huge luggage. However, there’s a way around it which takes extra 5 minutes or so. Still a great stay all in all! Really good service as I was away for 2 night for a tour to Isle of Skye and kept my luggage with them. And when I arrived, they even brought the luggage up to my room already (with a free upgrade! :) Highly recommended!

Hi Amanda, Glad to hear such positive feed back about your stay with us, when walking from the Waverley Train Station the stairs can be a hassle, however there is many alternate routes to avoid this, next time your back in Edinburgh give us a call and our reception team can offer you the best directions. I'm happy to hear that you found our reception team to be super friendly and helpful. We hope to see you again! Thanks, Simone and the STAY Central Team

Practical”
Location: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Just 7-10 minutes walk from the train station Breakfast: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love the fact that you can ask for hot food apart from the buffet served Staff: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Friendly faces Facilities: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Didn’t know where the reception is until the staff from the cafe/resto approach us that the cafe’s or restaurant’s reception is also the hotel’s reception. Wifi⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It is free. But had a problem the first night of our stay. Wifi is unstable from 10 pm till early morning but since we were shattered, we just fell asleep. The bed by the way is great! ***just a bit noisy*** we are on the 2nd floor and we heard a lot of shouting /screaming probably because there is an event when we stayed there? Not sure. Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It is a practical hotel. Value for money indeed.

Fantastic location in a fun hotel.”
Great hotel, excellent value, fantastic location. BUT don't get room 104. It's right across from an upstairs door to bar. The door banged shut about 25 times during the night, waking us up each time. It is noisy with music from the bar but that was expected and we actually enjoyed that. But the slamming door actually shook the room each time. They really should not rent out that room. A night desk employee should get another job. We went to ask for cream for our room and he handed us coffee.. even upon explaining we wanted cream/milk he didn't understand. We gave up. Great experience otherwise.

Stay! here, it's great.”
Location is great, very central for everything - handy for tourist sites, bars, and restaurants. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was cosy, but spacious, and the bathroom especially was excellent. My only personal bug bare - two single beds pushed together isn't the same as a double bed - however is was still comfortable.

Thanks Owen for the review. Sounds like you had a great time whist in Edinburgh. Super glad you loved the room and location.. Your correct two single beds pushed together doesn't make a double bed, it makes the bed QUEEN Size. All the more room to spread out and relax - am i correct . Next time you return speak with us directly for the best return rates. Simone and the STAY Central Team

Great little hotel”
Just stayed for 1 night here, but would definitely stay here again. Check in was super easy and the place was very clean and breakfast was lovely. Big shout out to Marta (I think that is the receptionist name) sorry if it's not! She was super helpful and always had a smile on her face (behind her facemask) 😂
