The Parliament House Hotel

Small, personal, warm

Super friendly staff in the restuarant, Bistro prices and food excellent value especially the early bird offering. Breakfast was very nice and table service which is unusual these days.

Extortionate bar prices £4 for a can of beer!!...why don't hotels price their bars sensibly - they would do much more business.Bed was pretty uncomfortable and pillows were like handkerchiefs!!

I liked the fact that it was central to everything and beside the bus stop and train station.

I did not like the fact that I choose the continental breakfast and was not advised at my time of ordering it that there were not any rolls or pastries or croissants left. This was half an hour before they stopped serving breakfast. When i advised reception of this on checking out they did waive the charge for breakfast on that day.

Breakfasts were abundant, lots of choice, fresh croissants or chocolate-filled pastry, eggs, bacon, yogourt, fruits, porridge, good coffee or tea, etc. Very friendly staff. Their restaurant serves good international and scottish food for dinner. Nice old-fashioned lobby with daily paper to read, and a small bar that serves about 30 different single-malt whiskys for tasting. Rooms a bit cramped but had everything one likes including TV, bath and shower, fridge, desk. Location great--5 minutes from train station and Prince's/George streets, major shopping streets, and across a bridge from the Royal mile, Edinburgh castle, lots of wool shops and whisky shops, Holyrood palace the Queen's residence, etc. etc.

Mattresses a bit too soft, could be larger rooms but we didn't spend too much time in room. TV only had a few channels but not really a problem for me.

Very pleasant, clean, comfortable and nicely appointed room, with a subdued but welcoming decor. Great location just off main road at foot of Calton Hill, near New Town and a pretty stroll across North Bridge to Old Town/Royal Mile. Easy access to Waverly Rail Station, as well. Good value in the heart of what can be an expensive city.

The only negative was the construction project across the (very narrow) street, which was under way by 7:30 on a Saturday morning. But that looks to be finished soon ...

The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. All the facilities were good and the breakfast was very good. All staff were friendly and helpful.

Location and friendly staff

Building work nearby made access more difficult

Very relaxed and comfortable. Great central location for shops, resturaunts, attractions and theatres.

room was nice, however bed was uncomfortable, room overlooked a cemetary but keep curtains shut and it was fine!! very quiet location for being city centre, easy access from train and bus station, excellent for shops, tourist attractions etc - would stay there again - woman on reception was a bit narky but the rest of the staff were excellent

the receptionist was a bit rude when we arrived

Good location, comfortable room, good Scottish breakfast, friendly staff.

Noisy building work across the street, from 7a.m. Also building site impacted on street access to local shopping centre.

I loved its old fashioned charm and it was excellent value. much better than the big chains.

good location nice rooms comfortable nice staff modern refurb

Excellent location and the hotel has this rich old worldly feeling.
