Ligger perfekt på Carlton Hill men ändå lite avskilt på en bakgata. Rätt brant backe upp så skulle inte rekommendera till någon rörelsehindrad men hotellet är fräscht och med trevlig personal

Great location but no AC - FYI!
The Parliament House is conveniently located near the Waverly train station and many key tourist sights, including the Royal Mile. It was unseasonably warm during our visit in May and the hotel is not air conditioned. The hotel gladly provided a fan for our room, upon request, which helped tremendously.

Trevligt personligt centralt
Allt väldigt bra men brant backe att ta sig uppför om man kommer från ena hållet. Lättare att gå runt.

Nice smaller option
Liked this hotel. Close to station and to a decent pub ( Penny Black). Good value and reasonably luxury. Decent shower. Didnt have breakfast as nothing clearly shown as vegan but not bothered as lots of options locally. Room was a touch cold and couldn't control that but fine in bed. Would return at the price paid for this trip as good value for Edinburgh

Sightseeing trip
Great location for sightseeing and close to the train station. Its situated just off the main street in the New Town which was perfect for us.
The reception staff were friendly and welcoming and the open fire was a lovely touch, especially in February when we visited!
Our room was tastefully decorated, very clean and lovely and warm.
We will definitely stay here on our future trips to the lovely city of Edinburgh
