A little gem

I was up one night in Edinburgh for business. Positives Staff very helpful. Evening meal was excellent, as was breakfast. The room had a full sized bath with copious hot water. A TV that I could plug headphones into. Enough workspace on the desk. A mug not a cup with quality tea and coffee (no biscuits). Negatives. The hotel is closing down in 2016. The room needed a little maintenance, i.e. the window would not fully shut, the bathroom light bulb was out, the wardrobe doors did not shut. I would have gone back next year if it was going to remain open.

Had to wait a while then go looking for a staff member to order at the bar and then had to go looking again to pay for the meal...

Basic but good. ..

Excellent location for high street choice of eateries. Hotel is now room only - no evening meal or breakfast. . I had room 6 and with the Indian restaurant below and outside the window was noisy, I travel with rear plus so no problem. All in all - you get what you pay for and this was good for what I wanted, would I use again - yes. .. Godots restaurant 2 mins walk up the hill is fantastic. David

Nice hotel, few minor problems

Stayed here for 2 nights and found it very nice at first glance. However, after being there for a few hours I found a few odd bits had not been cleaned from the previous occupants including a dental floss stick. Also, at first glance it seemed like a good sized room but when it came to its functionality (ie getting ready) it was noticeably cramped. Apart from this all was good

Gut gelegenes, günstiges, nettes Hotel

Die Lage des Hotels ist ziemlich gut. Man hat direkt vor der Tür eine Bushaltestellen von dort ist man im Handumdrehen in der Stadt. Supermärkte und Restaurants sind auch gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Zum Hotel selbst, gut, günstig und nettes Personal. Wer was anderes denkt sollte sich ein Luxushotel suchen. Die Betten sind Top uns jeden Tag bei bezogen es gibt tv und W-Lan . Bei meinem nächsten Besuch in Edinburgh würde ich dies Hotel wieder nehmen.

Rigtig god valuta for pengene

Meget behageligt sted, men ligger i et lidt anonymt område - dog ikke så langt fra centrum

Clean hotel a little bit far from downtown

Two things I disliked of this hotel: 1.There was no lift available to go up to my room. 2.The "double bed" was in fact two single beds put togheter so it was terribly uncomfortale to sleep in the middle of it therefore I had to sleep in the edge as if in one single bed.

gut gelegenes Hotel mit guten Zimmern

Die Begrüßung im Hotel war freundlich, der Service hervorragend. Vom Hotel aus ist man zu Fuß in ca 15min in der High Street - wer möchte kann auch direkt mit dem Bus fahren. Das Hotelzimmer war klein aber fein. Ein Stuhl, ein kleiner Tisch, ein sehr bequemes Doppelbett, ein Schrank und kleines, aber ausreichendes Bad. Darüber hinaus gibt es eine Bar und ein Restaurant, die ich aber beide nicht probiert habe, da ich in der Stadt gegessen habe. Insgesamt kein Luxushotel, aber für den Abend und Nacht vollkommen ausreichend. Das WLAN im Zimmer war allerdings etwas wackelig. Je nach Position im Raum war der Empfang ok, oder aber nicht vorhanden. Zum Checken von Mails reicht's, aber für mehr wird es wohl nicht reichen.

Great location, close to attractions.

My son was in Edinburgh for a conference and the Minto was an easy walk.

I booked and paid for a double room and upon arrival me and my friend got surprised to see a huge room with a queen-sized bed and two single beds. The staffs are nice and accommodating.The hotel room was very clean upon arrival and the neighborhood seemed safe.

Convenient to University

The price was quite reasonable for convent 10min walk to university and 15min walk to royal mile. Especially appreciated the free parking and free bagga storage while we travelled around Scotland. Hotel staff were very helpful.

Amazing staff

the staff was the best I had ever experienced. They were welcoming and so incredibly friendly and helpful with what we needed and how to get around the city. The rooms were cute but on the small side. It was a great location to bus stops and not far from the city centre. I would highly recommend.
