Hotels near Tattie Shaws, Edinburgh

I've never stayed in a hostel before, let alone in a former jail revamped as one ! Besides the gimmick, the Court is a wonderful place to stay if you are visiting Edinburgh, whether on a budget or not : fantastic location near the St Giles cathedral (where city tours seemingly start from), super friendly staff and surprisingly clean amenities (first time experience in a hostel so I didn't know what to expect quite frankly). Would definitely recommend !

Hotel was well located and very clean inside. Rooms made up daily. Breakfast was ok. Odd smell in bathroom - think the drains are not right. Main issues - bathroom extractor fan continuously on -annoying. The doors to other rooms slam noisily and some awful motor/generator out back of hotel also causing constant noise. Hot rooms; window only opens a crack. Overpriced for what is essentially a marginally polished premier inn.

We stayed here for 2 nights and arrived home today. Firstly all the staff were absolutely lovely!! We was so happy and to say they’re dog friendly really made our stay much better. The bedroom was spacious, the bed was huge, comfy & the shower was great! The cleanliness was 1000/1000 and we would definitely be back!! We didn’t have breakfast but the prices are cheap & I really recommend staying here. My dog loved it, I did tell the staff not to tidy my room and when we come back they had (which I felt bad about because it was a mess & our dog had stuffing everywhere from his teddy) but Thankyou for cleaning it anyways. Fresh clean plenty of towels, the only thing I would say is please add proper toiletries e g shampoo and conditioner as my hair did not like the shampoo. All in all it’s in the city centre, the windows open and you get a huge fan in your room!! The tv works, the WiFi works & it’s next door to tesco express, sainsburys & pubs!

Hotel was clean and Quiet.Reception staff friendly and helpful Easy access to city via buses. Sea food restaurants nearby. Hotels breakfast was good except scrambled egg not to my taste.(Dry) Toilet in the room no toilet brush. Bar did not have bloody Mary.Was a bit disappointing.! The hotel staff especially Madina and Lucas went beyond to help and give good advice for first time visitors. Worth trying Holiday Inbn Express Edinborough.

I booked a a night within the hotel on Halloween as we had booked a walking ghost tour within the city. It was a bit of a walk down to the Royal mile taking about 25 mins but as it was dry it was ok. The hotel was fantastic, the reception staff were lovely and very helpful. The entrance lobby was warm and clean, very inviting. All of the corridors were very well maintained, clean and beautifully decorated. Our room was very spacious with a queen sized bed, seating area and a good sized bathroom. The room again was nicely decorated and well equipped. Due to the restrictions the hotel restaurant was closed but we were allowed to order food into the hotel and the receptionist even pointed us in the direction of local shops. I would recommend the hotel and will most probably stay again.

The house is situated about 40 minutes walk from Princes Street. There are plenty of buses(£2) to catch and the bus stop is just opposite. We had one of the smaller rooms in the house - the room size was fine but not well laid out. There was only about 2 inches to get round the double bed to get to the other side, the sash window was very heavy and impossible to open. There was a very small couch - supposed to be a 2 seater, but really only sat 1 person. The other person then had to sit on the bed but couldn’t really see the TV and the TV was fixed. Our biggest gripe was that our room was billed with an en suite bathroom … but it was in fact down the passage way. Having not realised I would need a dressing gown this was problematic. Also there was at least one occasion when somebody else had used it. We knew before going that there was no breakfast provided so took Belvita breakfast biscuits and Scot’s porridge oats satchels that you just add water to. This worked well. Normal tea and coffee satchels are provided but not decaf or herbal teas. There is a small fridge downstairs which you can put a few bits in. The main house was decorated well and clean. We loved Edinburgh and did so many different things - a walking tour, afternoon tea at the Balmoral, a Highlands tour, Holyrood House, the castle, a whisky and gin experience, walk up Arthur’s Seat…. and one of our favourites- HMY Britannia at Leith - you can catch the team there.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. We arrived far earlier than the 3pm check-in due to an early flight, and asked on the off chance if we would be able to get into our room any earlier. Not expecting at all for it to be done so quickly! They jumped into action whilst we explored the stunning grounds & had a lovely breakfast, and within the hour we were in our room. Housekeeping had created a lovely Swan display using the towels and rose petals, with a handwritten birthday card for my boyfriend as we were there to celebrate his 30th birthday. The staff could not do enough for us, especially the very kind lady on reception who was just brilliant and the trip felt so easy and comfortable as a result. Thank you SO much for a wonderful and memorable weekend, I truly cannot recommend this hotel enough. Worth every penny and just a short uber (20-25 mins) to the city, zoo, and most main attractions. We will be back!

Once again, my wife and I were treated to a wonderful stay. Many of the staff remember us after our many visits and take the time to seek us out to ask after us and have a short conversation. It's obvious that they wish to do this, rather than doing it to make an impression. This hotel is outstanding in all respects. A special mention to Donna. My wife uses a wheelchair and Donna looks after us at breakfast. Always over and above what is expected. Other mentions to Pauline on reception (always a pleasure), Fiona on reception and a new face on reception, Hannah, who made us feel like old friends and was really efficient. There are others, but unfortunately, I can't remember names. Suffice it to say that the entire staff make us feel special. Just one thing; please repair the push-button door. It's very temperamental and it's unfair that the reception staff (who always hurry to help) should be taken away from their duties. Thank you for another wonderful experience

It’s a very nice hotel as an IHG group hotel you can be assured about quality . Staff is real nice and friendly . When I arrived I was given a twin room while I booked a double . Not their fault but the partner of trip . Com. No other double available so I asked them to put two single bed together so I won’t fall off at night . Lol. They were dead nice and did it for me. Nice environment not far from the nearby train station. Will defo go back there to stay
