Comfy bed, lovely staff, lovely building, good location (not far from Princes Street)

3.0 / 10.0

Wouldn't recommend this hotel.

Walk in shower

5.0 / 10.0

Massively overpriced, tiny room, but a great location for the rugby

We were in Edinburgh for a rugby match at Murrayfield, so the location of this hotel was perfect.

3 single beds in this room was a tight fit & you could barely turn round in the bathroom. The sheets on my bed didn’t fit properly. It was SO expensive for what we got.

3.0 / 10.0

Not clean, too small bed

Tha location - you are near Haymarket station.

The room was not clean at all, it was actually filthy. There were literal cobwebs and dust on every surface. The wallpaper was coming off in one corner. You couldn't open the window properly. The bed was tiny, a matchbox actually. Maybe this works for people who are 5 ft or below. And the bathroom... it was dirty, moldy and hat a funky smell. We stayed one night and we didn't arrive with any expectations, but still were underwhelmed. Would not recommemd at all.

6.0 / 10.0

Good position but some unpleasant surprises

It’s a nice building in a good location so you can easily walk into central Edinburgh

It was an unpleasant surprise to find that we had to pay £15 per day for parking which was required the moment we arrived. “It’s written at the bottom of the T&Cs” we were told with a grin. The shower in our room could only produce a dribble of uncomfortably very hot water. Almost unusable.

8.0 / 10.0

Great location if visiting for the Rugby, ten minute walk to the stadium

Great location for rugby at nearby Murrayfield, great place to have a pint before the match

The only criticism was that the mattress was too soft, that’s just a personal observation, otherwise all good

Top location, beautiful old house with the usual weaknesses. Nevertheless recommended.

The staff at reception were helpful and friendly. The location of the hotel makes up some points. The bus stop is right outside the door and you can easily walk into town if you want to.

I was also a guest here for 3 nights exactly one year ago. I paid GBP 265 at the time. This year on the same dates I paid GBP 532. I am aware that everything is getting more expensive, but I have not experienced any improvement in quality here and find it difficult to understand this very sharp price increase. My bathroom last year was clean and with modern water regulation in the shower. The shower in this year's room was older (but still clean) and the temperature control was a ‘challenge’. Modernisation would be necessary here. A request to the owners: when the hotel is renovated, please don't destroy the charm of this old house! The old creaking stairs are part of it! But the rest of the bathrooms can certainly be modernised without too much effort. Thank you.

5.0 / 10.0

Adequate for one night.

The location was very convenient, close to bus and tram stops and several restaurants. The bathroom was very clean.

The curtains were falling off the curtain rails, the light and the fan in the bathroom initially would wouldn’t turn off although the staff were very helpful in fixing this problem. The WiFi was almost non existent in the room. Overall the decor in the room was showing its age, the chairs could do with a deep clean.

Better than expected

Room was spotless , great location , bar on site and when I asked for a pint full of ice that’s exactly what I got, too many places hand over a few ice cubes

It's was pretty good location was great

The room was very spacious with having three beds in it

The beds we very noisy and not super comfortable and one of them had a wooden head board about 40cm about the mattress so I hit my head on it numerous times

A pleasant 2 night stay in teh Cumberland Hotel, Edinburgh

We had breakfast on the first morning that we stayed. It was a nice Scottish breakfast, Although I would have expected haggis with it. The coffee was filtered coffee, nice and hot.

9.0 / 10.0

Charming and cozy peaceful place.

Comfortable room. Staff very friendly and helpful, were able to accommodate additional requests. Close enough to center to reach by a direct bus ride (or you could walk a bit if needed), but still calm and very peaceful location. Good value for money.

Nothing, good facilities, nice staff, good location.

8.0 / 10.0

Good stay with good value for central Edinburgh.

Breakfast was good and room was clean. The bed I found a bit soft for my preference. Couldn't really argue with the price. A clean place to stay and did me well for overnight.

Not a lot, bed could have been harder for my preference.

We had a lovely big room with two very comfortable beds. Breakfast was cooked to order and fairly good. Staff were all most helpful.

Could do with some hand rails in bathroom and around shower area.

Its so upsetting.I been using booking.com for two decades now this is the first time i been let down by the hotel. It was so upsetting.🥲

Highly disappointed

The fact that we went out in a taxi at 9.30pm and came back around 3.45am and jewellery had gone missing out one of the bedside draws so someone has clearly let themselves in while we were out and stole it. Police have been informed and this isn’t just getting dropped!!

8.0 / 10.0

Nice hotel, a litlle further from the city centre on foot, friendly staff.

The room itself was spacious and clean. Nice place to stay. Staff very friendly. We were even allowed to check in a little earlier then normal.

The breakfeast was not bad, but kind of real basic english breakfeast. The hotel is quite far on foot from the city centre (20min walk).
