Shandwick Hotel and Suites

The location was good, clean well equiped kitchen (including coffee, milk) proper iron and ironing board readily available

The staff were very, very helpful and friendly and carried my suitcase up all the stairs. Shower was hot.

My room was cold and I did not like having to walk outside in the rain to get to it.

This hotel is certainly an experience. Quite difficult to describe. However the location is excellent and offered good value for money

Location only

It was nothing like it appeared on website. The kitchen smelled so bad...we couldn't even leave the door open. No phone or hairdryer in room.

Value for money, cleanliness. Good quality as a hostel, but shouldn't be advertised as Hotel

Comfortable bed ( but the room was not like the picture shown when booking!). Thankfully shared facilities were clean.

Too hot inside and had to phone the hotel to get someone to come to reception. Thankfully the other reviews prepared me for the expierance!

Comfortable beds and plenty of space in the suite.

The entrance was a bit off-putting behind the scaffolding and reception area was not as expected.

The only good thing I can say about this hostel is that is was in the city center.

Was unaware that this was a hostel with shared bathrooms, so did not pack accordingly. The two bathrooms with, bathtubs/showers on my floor did not work, so had to walk around the other floors to find a shower that sort of worked. Breakfast consisted of cold cereal and toast. Upon check-in clerk forgot to give me the combo for the front door so had to wait outside one night for 20 minutes for someone to let me in!! As a hostel it is fine, but needs to be listed as a hostel not a hotel!

Great location, at the west end of Princes Street. Basic but clean rooms with shared washrooms.

Slightly noisy at night due to proximity to clubs.

the breakfast was excelent and the staff was friendly.

when i made the booking i have requested a double bed and i was alocated a room with 2 beds next to each other. Also there was some work being done on the building and the noise disturbed us in the morning. on the check out i asked at the reception if something could be done and i was told nothing could be done. a refund for a small amount of money given the bad room allocation would be a nice gesture in order to cause good impression and deliver excelent customer service.

cheap and chearfull

no lift, but for the money you wont get everything

It was good place

The location was great - walking distance to almost anywhere. And that's about it.

Firstly - the name of the 'hotel' is misleading - Shandwick apartments - more like it. And it is just an expensive hostel - I wouldn't classify that as a hotel. And for sure I wouldn't recommend it further. My decision was based on 2 photos and some positive reviews which are simply inapplicable. I had to 'upgrade' which came with higher costs then much better room elsewhere. I hope I will never have an experience like that anymore.
