Find Guest house in Edinburgh

I stayed at the Adelphi Hotel on a recent trip to Edinburgh. It's definitely a budget-friendly option, which was perfect for me. The room itself was clean and functional. The bed was comfy, there was a flat-screen TV to unwind with, and the shower had great pressure with plenty of hot water. Heads up, there's no breakfast offered at the hotel. I grabbed food at a nearby cafe each morning, which wasn't a problem, but be sure to factor that extra cost into your budget. The room was a little on the small side, and I heard some noise from outside at times. It's not a fancy hotel, and there aren't any amenities beyond free Wi-Fi. The location, however, was fantastic. It's just a short walk from the tram stop, and most of Edinburgh's attractions were within a 10-15 minute drive. There's even free parking on-site, which is a major plus in the city. Overall, the Adelphi Hotel was a decent choice for my short stay. It's perfect if you're on a budget and don't mind a basic room without frills. Just be prepared to find breakfast elsewhere and manage your expectations.

I already had an idea of this hotel before booking so I was not that negatively surprised. I just wanted to pay as less as possible that is why I went for this hotel. We arrived before check in time so we left our bags in a deposit room. The same key that opens the main door opens your own room...I hope that still the other guests cannot open all rooms, but it was creepy. There was a woman at the ” reception” who was nice enough and gave us the main information after that we have not seen anyone else anymore. The room is very old fashion styled. Not only is has and old charme but it is also old and it looks like is has been renovated on a budget from the owner on his spare time as it seems from the carpet and from the bathroom. The worst thing is that the room was very dark and far too small. The bed was all in all not unconfortable. The window looked at a backyard with tonnes of garbage bags. Positive thins: there were tea and coffee facilities in the room, the location is very good you can reach for example the bus station on foot and there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The location was quite, but....on our second of 3 nights our upstairs guests started turning on some speaker out loud at 12 in the night which lasted until 3 in the morning. We informed the reception the day after who said they have no 24 7 reception so they could not stop the noise during the night. However we did not have the same problem the night after. The shower was good.

Small comfortable room with On suit shower room. Tea and coffee supplied. Easy parking in nearby streets, £5 day ticket great for buses. The bus stops were close to the hotel maybe 5mins walk. Many buses to north Bridge for royal mile then 1/2 the bus routes for Princess Street the others went down Leith Walk.

To start, the athstices of this hotel are beautiful, not only did the human poo add a beautiful display to the bed sheets but the smell had a beautiful aroma that made me feel like I was back at home. The people in this area are fantastic, a good example of this is the man at leith links who offered me (a hit) on his pipe (I did not ask what was in it), another great example of the kindness is the leith academy pupil who offered to give me a “bat” because “it sounds like your asking for it ya fenien” I was unsure weather he meant a pet bat or a bat to hit balls with like in rugby, so I kindly rejected his offer. Back to the hotel, the hotel assistant who offered to “give me hands” was very nice, I asked if he knew what a “chav” was and he gave me the offer, he never got back to me with the information I was looking for. On my way out back to the airport a young adult asked me if he could borrow my phone sp he could phone his mum, as soon as I pulled it out to give it to him and he snatched it and ran away, I hope his mum is ok.

The breakfast is very good, a typical English breakfast, but not a buffet, but a la carte service (there are several options for you to choose, such as coffee or black tea? Scrambled eggs or quiche? etc.). I live in a single room on the third floor. The room is relatively small and cannot accommodate an extra bed. The room is just big enough for one person, with a small bathroom attached. The landlord has strict requirements on the check-in time. If you arrive late, it is best to inform the landlord of the exact time of your arrival in advance, and the landlord will tell you the password to get the key, otherwise there is a risk of not getting the key. The hotel is located in the south of Edinburgh, far away from the city center, about 20 minutes to half an hour walk, but there are buses. It is better if you live alone.

The trick for this small boutique type hotel is to be prepared 1) to take the stairs (no elevator), 2) no front desk and 3) you won't see any hotel staff under normal circumstances. Check out is also a bit tricky, you leave your key in a cell of a lock box that opens with the proper code. Pay close attention to emails the day of your arrival from the hotel, otherwise you won't be able to enter the building.

When you arrive there is free parking on the drive which is an absolute godsend in Edinburgh, key safe with your key (code texted previously) we were on first floor with an en-suite room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was lovely just enough of everything, no complaints at all , overall for the money we paid I would definitely recommend staying here . Thank you for a stress free break away

The staff was very nice, polite and helpful. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Every day they cleaned and refilled the water and replaced the coffee, sugar and tea.

Good service attitude
