Hotels near Central Library, Edinburgh

"This hotel is very satisfied, the location is very convenient 😀 very comfortable from check-in to check-out. The staff is polite. There is a very good kitchen for guests to cook, make coffee, and boil hot water. highly recommended"

"The room was clean and the facilities were fairly complete, though a bit small. It would be perfectly fine as student accommodation. However, as a commercial rental, the price is quite steep; at around 1200 including tax, the value for money isn't great. Because it's dormitory-style with area doors (each area having five or six rooms) and shared kitchen doors, the sound insulation is poor, so it can get quite noisy. There's often a chorus of loud doors opening and closing, as well as hairdryer noise. The train tracks are right across the street, but it wasn't noisy at night, perhaps due to infrequent service."

"The location was absolutely fantastic. You can easily enjoy all of Edinburgh's attractions within walking distance. I heard there's a charge for luggage storage, though. On the bright side, each bed had two USB ports, which was super convenient for charging. My only slight concern was that the bathrooms and toilets were shared by both men and women. I've only ever stayed in hostels with completely separate facilities, so that felt a little odd. However, overall, it was clean and the staff were really friendly, making my trip to Edinburgh wonderful! Thank you!"

"The location is absolutely perfect — it’s literally right in front of the castle, and there are plenty of cafés around, so the vibes are really nice! 😍 BUT the room itself was super tiny — honestly, it felt claustrophobic. Definitely not recommended for families traveling around the UK with lots of luggage. Thankfully, the reception staff were very helpful and let us store our suitcases at the front desk because they knew the room couldn’t possibly fit all of them 🤓 I even had one of my suitcases stored in their locker, lol. There was even one night when the AC in our room suddenly stopped working, but the staff handled it really well and helped us move to another room — no hassle at all, which we really appreciated! One important heads-up: this hotel is not wheelchair-friendly. There’s no lift, so keep that in mind if accessibility is a concern."

"The bed was comfortable, not too soft and not too firm. However, the double bed was quite small; it would be fine for two average-sized people, but not for two larger individuals. Gulls calling in the morning could easily wake up light sleepers, but the earplugs provided by the hotel solved that issue. The room was a bit warm, and the window only opened a crack. Borrowing a fan from the front desk helped a lot. The kitchen was very clean and well-equipped with a few knives, a plate or two, and three or four mugs."

"This hotel is ideally located right next to Haymarket Station, making travel super convenient. We were able to walk to all the city's attractions in just over ten minutes. Our room was compact but well-designed, spotless, and dry. The bedding was wonderfully soft and comfortable, the shower had consistent water pressure, and the smart lighting was a thoughtful touch. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and attentive, and check-in was a breeze."

"The hotel is quite nice, especially in terms of its location, as it is directly opposite Waverley Station, making it very convenient for both business trips and travel. However, as the building is relatively old, there is no lift from the ground floor to the first floor, so you need to carry your luggage upstairs to reach the reception before accessing the lift."

"The hotel room and bathroom were indeed too small; there wasn't even enough space to open a suitcase, so it had to be stored under the bed. The view outside the room was decent. The main advantage is the hotel's excellent location, right opposite Haymarket. You can walk almost anywhere, which is incredibly convenient, and there are bus stops right outside. The hotel breakfast was just so-so, with limited variety and options. It was a typical English breakfast, not bad. The reception service was mediocre, especially the male front desk staff who gave me the wrong room number twice, even though I showed him the room number written down. He seemed unbothered and unwilling to help."

"Hotel location is good, it is also very easy to find, 700 meters from the train station, 650 from the airport line, 200 meters from Prince Street. There are many facilities in the room, which is very suitable for cooking by yourself. The hotel will send the password of the door and the password of the box with the door key at the door to the email address, and you can check in by yourself, which is very convenient. Recommended!"

"The hotel service was great, the staff were very friendly and enthusiastic, and the location was good too, quite close to the attractions. Excellent overall."
