Lock in a great price for The Parliament House Hotel - rated 8.4 by recent guests.

to get started.

Nice helpful staff. Lovely clean comfortable room. Slept very well.

Anne, United Kingdom

Lovely elegant olde world charm of hotel. Very clean. Large comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Contribution made to parking costs. Meal in hotel bistro very good and good value for money. Good location excellent for city centre but away from the hustle and bustle.

Denise, United Kingdom

Comfy king sized bed, good location, good continental breakfast.

Elizabeth, United Kingdom

Room was nice, clean and comfortable. Good city centre location.

John, United Kingdom

The bedroom and bathroom were clean, well-appointed, well-ventilated and quiet. The restaurant did what restaurants are supposed to do and did it well. The lounge and other common rooms were of good quality. We were on the fourth floor and the corridor windows look out over a rooftop garden across the street and beyond to the Firth of Forth with its shipping; the room has a view of a well-tended green space. The staff were all helpful, including the chef - who clearly knows his job. Other reviewers refer to the hotel's excellent location. They are right.

John, United Kingdom

Easy location to the centre. 5 mins walk from the train station.

John, United Kingdom

One of our top picks in Edinburgh.

This beautifully restored 3-star hotel is in Edinburgh city centre, just 350 yards from Edinburgh Waverley Railway Station and Princes Street. Rooms each have a private bathroom and free Wi-Fi.

The Parliament House Hotel has a quiet location at the foot of Calton Hill on a short, traditional cobbled lane. Each stylish room includes a TV, hairdryer and a minibar.

Many shops, the spectacular Edinburgh Castle and the Scottish Parliament are less than a mile away. Edinburgh Bus Station is a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

The MPs Bistro offers a full traditional cooked Scottish breakfast each morning, as well as continental options.

Evening meals are made using the freshest local ingredients, and a popular ‘Early Bird’ meal selection allows guests to dine and leave in time for a night in Edinburgh’s vibrant centre.

Guests can relax in comfortable armchairs in front of the open fire in the lounge bar. The upper floors are accessible by stairs or a lift.

This is our guests' favourite part of Edinburgh, according to independent reviews.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

눉Quite expensive probably because of Fringe week however would have been nice considering for breakfast to have been included. Bottled water/biscuits would have been appreciated with tea making facilities. Tucked away in quiet street off main road - great but this also make it difficult to spot street name.
눇Lovely elegant olde world charm of hotel. Very clean. Large comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Contribution made to parking costs. Meal in hotel bistro very good and good value for money. Good location excellent for city centre but away from the hustle and bustle.

눉The price for just a bed in a 3 star hotel was extortionate Concequently I was reluctant to give them any more of my money so we (a party of 3 adults) ate out and just used the hotel to sleep as did a lot of the other guess we spoke to

“Edinburgh was busy because of the Festival and the Hotel added to the pleasure of our visit.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉We chose to walk from the Calton Road exit from the station and north along Calton Road (which passes under Waterloo Place) from which we turned onto Calton Hill, which slopes very steeply from Leith Street up to the hotel. Getting there in this way with our luggage was distinctly hard work, but the hotel receptionist pointed out that Calton Hill is almost level between the hotel and Waterloo Place - which neatly solved our problem.
눇The bedroom and bathroom were clean, well-appointed, well-ventilated and quiet. The restaurant did what restaurants are supposed to do and did it well. The lounge and other common rooms were of good quality. We were on the fourth floor and the corridor windows look out over a rooftop garden across the street and beyond to the Firth of Forth with its shipping; the room has a view of a well-tended green space.
