The Carlton Hotel Edinburgh19 North Bridge, Old Town, Edinburgh, EH1 1SD (Show map)
Very good,
Score from 555 reviews
“ Staff were extremely friendly & helpful especially at reception on arrival, Kimberley I think. We were upgraded which was very nice. I had mentioned the reason for visit was my wife's birthday. No sooner had we arrived in room when door went with a complimentary bottle of bubbly. Very nice touch by the hotel. No complaints whatsoever. ”

Room was dusty. Had not been cleaned thoroughly despite it not being ready when we arrived, which would suggest it was in process of being cleaned.! There was a spot of blood on the shower curtain which I reported and fair enough it was immediately taken down and changed. There was a piece of glass on the carpet which could have proved a hazard if I had stepped on it.

Convenient location near to Waverley station. Room refurbished in keeping with the hotel. Good buffet breakfast. Windows were not double glazed and as we overlooked the street it was quite noisy.

Not much Hotel needs major staff training. Put into wrong room, meal took 40 minutes, mix up over payments. If you are going to stay here, eat out for dinner.

The staff were so friendly, each and every member of staff we encountered said hello. Food in the restaurant was really nice too. Excellent location. Room was very comfortable. There was a noisy extraction fan/air con unit or similar but it didn't stop me sleeping! Would have been nice to have a bigger supply of tea bags in the room.
