Lovely old building close to Haymarket Station. Only negative is no o site parking.

3.0 / 10.0

Not too far to walk from Haymarket station and set back off the busy main road. Entry is via a system I had not previously encountered, so took me a while to become accustomed to it. A free 'grab and go' breakfast was included. A pleasant surpirse.

8.0 / 10.0

Complimentary breakfast pastry & cereal was nice touch. Room was basic, beds could have benefitted from toppers on the mattress so would be bit more comfortable. Shower good & clean room. But good transport links to main shopping & tours area & also to/from airport.

Great we went to watch a concert at murrayfield, the location was spot on, no hassle. The room was spacious and comfortable.

I spent a week in Scotland and this was the worst stay I had, and by far the most expensive! I didn't receive the access codes to get in, and to get into the key box. Luckily I had mins left on my SIM and could call. A girl in the Philippines gave me the codes. Then I realized the room wasn't cleaned properly (the garbage can wasn't emptied as an example). I hardly slept bc of constant road noise and noise from within, and from allergies (sneezing and blowing my nose all night). I tried emailing the address on their site later, but both times, my email was rejected. I got an email from Andreas, who's supposedly the mgr, the day after I left. I tried calling him but that didn't work either. I asked Hotels.com to contact them and ask for half my $ back (which I thought fair). I heard they refused. That stay cost over $400 Cdn! I understand the festivals were going on, but that was a mistake! The place wasn't worth half of that amount. Avoid this place.

This was overall a great place to stay, if needing a little TLC. The beds were comfy and there was ample room to unpack your luggage. We had the suite with a lovely mountain view. The only odd thing was the room with windows facting the mountain had the smaller bed, while the back room (with no windows/views) had the larger bed. The glass panel in the shower was missing a bottom gasket so it was impossible to shower without a large amount of water leaking onto the floor. We appreciated the in-room espresso and water bottles. We did not partake in breakfast, which was very grab-and-go with plastic-wrapped pastries. Staff was not seen at all, but must have been on site somewhere; this wasn't an issue for us, but some might want to know before staying here. Overall, a nice stay and great location, somewhat away from all the downtown hubbub.

Our room, Room 2, seems to be close to the boiler, because all night the boiler pumps were coming on and off.... and they weren't exactly quiet! Disturbed my sleep a fair bit.

10.0 / 10.0

Good stay, very restful, clean room, quiet area, has what you need for a short term stay. Overall the room and common spaces could use a bit of detailing & attention to make it a bit more inviting, but overall I had a great stay. Very close to a bus stop and the 100 Airlink bus if you are coming or going to the airport, restaurants and grocery close by, and good communication from the hosts. Thanks!

Lovely place. Big room, comfy beds. Friendly helpful staff. Couldn’t ask for more

2.0 / 10.0

One member of staff was specifically very rude and unprofessional. While breakfast is stated to be served 8-10AM, he removed all breakfast items from the table as soon as we arrived in the dining lounge at 9:45 and when we mentioned the time is still not 10, he rudely replied it is free anyway and we are doing you a favour, as if we are staying there for free!! The room service ONLY includes change of towels! No new bedsheet, water bottles, etc. The water takes randomly 5-10 minutes to get warm! The property is located in a nice neighbourhood with good public transport access (mainly buses).

The stay didn't offer any cooling devices, even when asked for. It was uncomfortably warm during the day and there was no way to cool the room down. The main staff male who was available wasn't very friendly even when greeted with good mornings.

2.0 / 10.0

Avoid this place at all costs! My stay here was a complete nightmare. There was no hot water, the air conditioning didn’t work, and the entire place had a disgusting musty smell. There’s no front desk or staff, just a mailbox where you pick up the key — super sketchy. When I tried to get help or fix the situation, there was zero communication. No one answered. I honestly feel like I was scammed — you pay for a “hotel” but what you get is unlivable. They basically stole my money. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. This place doesn’t even deserve one star.

4.0 / 10.0

Lovely room with very convenient transport links. Free breakfast items available in the morning like croissants and cereal. Didn’t see any staff members at all. It’s self check in and self check out. Lovely clean rooms, very comfy beds. Would stay again

Great location for going into Edinburgh city. Lots of nice local restaurants. Walk away from trams. If you are a rugby fan great location for Murrayfield games too. Basic room but great for the price so no complaints. Thanks 🙏

Automated check in and lovely facility. Little bit older but very comfortable. Nice shared space with a fridge and microwave available. Super close to the bus stops. Highly recommended!

No 6 West Coates is not really what i would consider a hotel, it's more like an airbnb. We recived our room key via emailed instructions, and we never saw any staff the entire time we were there. This hotel was was bearable for the two nights we spent there, but if we had been staying in Edinburgh longer, I would have found other accommodations. The building is old and in need of renovations for the prices they charge. The room was ok, but not the cleanest. The bed was also not comfortable. I like a firm mattress, but even I found it too hard. There's no air con, which we expected, but the windows only opened about six inches and we had to find something to put in them to keep them propped up so air could get in. There was no fan in the room, so I wouldn't recommend staying here in warm weather. The bathroom was fine, but again, had to prop open the window to let steam out. The room did not have any lamps or fixtures with USB ports, so make sure you have a plug adapter if you're traveling from outside the UK. We had to go to the Tesco Express down the street, and luckily they had one. No mini-fridge in the room, but there was a refrigerator in the common room on the ground floor. The location is pretty good. The tram and train station is about a 10 minute walk, and the main part of town is about 20 minutes. Might not be convenient for someone with mobility issues. Overall, for 300£ for 2 nights, I would not stay here again. There are nicer options for the price.

Nice place and close to the city center. It says free street parking but not very feasible and difficult to navigate. We parked at a car park and Uber to the hotel.

Loved this place. The location was perfect, out of the city but not far and bus stops right outside. Restaurants very close. The room was a great size.

Roaches, uncomfortable beds, didn’t clean the room at all in the 4 nights we were there even after we placed the placard on the door to make up the room. Terrible. Overpriced and wouldn’t do that again. Only positive is that it was near public transit.

2.0 / 10.0

Dirty, mold in the bathroom, loud noises and no quiet the whole trip. Not worth the money. Stayed in room 2

3.0 / 10.0

Location was fantastic. Lovely building. Unfortunately there was a large leak in one of the rooms that had a bucket under it. I emailed the hotel contact on day 1 and haven’t heard back. The dripping carried on all night and kept my youngest up so not ideal. Reading other reviews it seems this room has a historic leak so suggest it needs fixing.

4.0 / 10.0

Before you stand outside the house on your way to check inn: make sure you have received an email with a code for the door, code for your key and information about how to use it. All in all a good experience with the price in mind. Could definitely go back some day.

The staff were friendly, and there were nice touches, like the complementary refreshments. The room was too hot, though, and there was nothing we could do about it.

We stayed at No 6 West Coates and the carpets were stained. Our room the carpets were also stained. We noticed the sink we not draining properly and the shower we had when turned on only gave cold water. (If we ironically turned the cold water tap on the bathtub, then lukewarm water would come out of the shower). We reported this to the hotel's 24 hour helpdesk by calling, and though despite being promised it would be fixed, they didn't bother to get someone to look at the problem, until we called again in the evening realising when we returned the problem had not been fixed. By then it was too late. They also didn't have another room available to transfer us to. This pretty much ruined our stay.

Apart from the initial hiccup on arrival, the visit was one of the best I have spent in Edinburgh, I do visit the town regularly & I will indeed be spending time there again. The friendliness of the staff, attention to detail, the neatness & most of all the closeness to the town centre a definite plus. THANK YOU!
