Built in 1848, the elegant and luxurious hotel is the ideal place for both holidaymakers and business travellers and ably combines tradition with modern facilities. A modern extension has been built, which ideally complements the Georgian architecture of the terrace building. Guests may treat themselves to international, British, and Scottish delicacies prepared by the famous head chef in the Melrose restaurant. On offer in the hotel are a total of 197 rooms, and facilities include a lobby area with a reception desk manned around the clock, a safe for depositing valuables, and a cloakroom. Guests may also take advantage of the Melrose lounge and atrium, the Consort bar, the pre-function bar, the room and laundry services, the Internet access, and the George Suite for conferences and other events.
The room was spacious and we booked a room good for 3 pax. The receptionist were nice and offer us as well to check in early… we really appreciate that. The location is not in the center but the bus stop is really near to the hostel which is more accessible if you want to roam around the center of Edinburgh.
In principle, not everything so bad, waiting was worse. Even managed to sleep. At 2:00 a.m. somebody came and woke up with his noise, nobody was insured against it

Fantastic experience!
I stayed in a 10-person room, which was very spacious, and the bathrooms and toilets were all very clean! The staff provided excellent service, and I was able to store my luggage both before and after check-in. They even noticed it was my birthday and gave me a voucher! 🥰 Plus, the breakfast was great! Overall, a wonderful experience 🫶

Just a 10-minute walk from the train station... The room and bedding were clean. There's a separate locker for luggage, but it doesn't have a lock.
There are shared toilets and showers. The common area is for drinking water and eating your own food; cooking is not allowed.
They also have another branch in York.
The front desk service was excellent; they even let me check in early at 2:30 PM.
Have you ever spent the night in an old church? Here is the place. Somehow the old church vibe is super cozy. The location is central and Dean Village is just a 5-min walk. The staff (Ciprian) was very nice. Overall the room lived up to my expectations. Highly recommended!
I would describe the twin lions hotel more of a b & b. It was very basic. It was only a 10min walk to murrayfield and they don't double / triple there price on match days.
