The Salisbury Hotel  

A fairly quite location considering how busy Edinburgh is.

Room that we had was very small as was the shower room, just enough space to get in and out of the shower without knocking your legs on the loo. Continental breakfast that was in with the cost of the room not very inspiring, but the breakfast that you could buy was very reasonably priced considering the cost of everything else.

The location is good, it was lovely and quiet, the gardens are excellent and Cafe Cassis is a huge asset - if you can find it from the reception area.The continental breakfast was excellent and the waiting staff first class.

We felt it was far more like a bed and breakfast than “First Choice for a Luxury Hotel in Edinburgh” and was considerably overpriced. While the bedding and towels were clean the room was not. The picture rail was visibly coated in dust as were the skirting boards. The settee immediately outside our door was stained. We were in a "superior" double and it would have been better described as "average." The bathroom was impractically small, the toilet seat did not fit properly and in spite of considerable effort to avoid it happening the bathroom floor was soaked on each occasion we showered. The television only had two channels and the radio alarm went off at 7.30am - uninvited. It might be an idea for houskeeping staff to switch it off daily. Cafe Cassis, which is attached to the hotel but independently run - and a great asset - is not properly signposted from within the hotel and is tricky to find. The hotel fell far short of "first choice for a luxury hotel in Edinburgh" which it will never be if it doesn't get the basics right. It was average accommodation at a luxury price.

The hotel was very clean and the service was unintrusive. The location is very good as it is close to the centre of the city.

1. The rooms are quite small and the wardrobe is not big enough to put clothes in taken the ironing board and other utensils are stored there.2.We had to move rooms due to plumbing problems in the booked room. 3.The hotel is not staffed at the reception desk overnight which caused problems of checking in for some new arrivals. 4.The chef at the bistro serving breakfast is not in on Sunday, so cooked breakfast offered as an option might not be to the proper standards.

Not a 4 star hotel as advertised Bathroom was tiny and one light didn't work we reported it but not repaired. Room wasn't cleaned properly Bed roughly made, nightclothes slung to one side and bathroom towels untouched disappointing

A great location in a very "cool" part of the city...so many interesting shops, cafes and bars. The hotel was stylish and in keeping with its heritage...the views to the mountains was super. Nice hospitality in the rooms, Tunnocks tea cakes and hot chocolate, Very friendly reception on arrival. Good continental breakfast in the morning.

The bathroom was stylish but the grouting is starting to look a bit grotty. The double quilt was really heavy...I Feel sorry for the chamber maid who has to change the covers on it every day! Lovely big steps up to the entrance of the hotel, with large plant pots...lovely until you look onto the pots...they were filled with cigarette stubs...disgusting!

The room was an excellent size. The furnishings were very luxurious. The facilities in the room were to a good standard. The reception staff were knowledgeable and courteous.

The toilet seat was broken. A picture in the bathroom had smashed glass. Some of the breakfast staff did not understand English, did not show us to our table or offer us a menu.

Staff were really helpful, rooms excellent. Just far enough out of the city centre to relax, but easy access by bus, taxi, (around £6 fare) when you wanted to get to see the sights. Local resturaunts were value for money with Hellors Kitchen being fabulous food and godd atmosphere, 5 minute walk.

Comfortable bed. Clean room. Choice of breakfast friendly staff

Room was cold on arrival as radiator was not working. Staff provided a heater and problem was solved.

Nice big family room - high ceiling, good view, great space for the 4 of us. 1 double bed, 1 double sofa bed. Good continental breakfast. Very helpful and friendly staff.

room were big and comfy

We stayed in the salisbury sweet and the bath plug didnt work so had to keep the tap running to keep the bath full. We ordered breakfast in bed which was nice but got no cups,suger or milk for morning tea also no sachets of sauce.

I couldn't fault the hotel in anyway, bed was comfy..lovely power shower and the room was always really warm! Food was lovely and suitable times for breakfast, friendly staff.

Convenience of location, and attractive price. Good continental breakfast!

Car parking space very limited. Hotel signage not clear . . . overwhelmed by signage for cafe.

Nice boutique hotel within walking distance of the city centre. Very helpful staff.
