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

to get started.

Location, staff, comfort, the "old English" atmosphere

Victoria, Switzerland

Sarasvathy, Malaysia

We stayed one night to go and see Robbie Williams , the hotel was great, perfect central location. The room was beautifully decorated, comfortable beds . The staff were very friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel, I will be back.

Danielle, United Kingdom

The hotel was lovely, couldn't fault it at all and in an excellent location

Alison, United Kingdom

The Parliament House Hotel still retains the class of the combined Jacobean and Georgian houses of which it is composed. The room was of a nice size and the lobby fireplace was a perfect place to enjoy a liqueur coffee after a windy day. The nearby Calton Hill (across the street) provides wonderful views of Edinburgh. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. It's now my go-to place to stay in one of my favorite cities.

Shannon, USA

Everything a hotel should be.. Extremely welcoming staff, the receptionist upon arrival was so friendly and helpful, the roaring fire in reception was lovely too.. the room was beautiful, quiet and comfortable, the mattress was a little soft for my liking as i'm use to something firmer, but that's definitely not a major problem.. A great hotel, steeped in history, a 5 minute walk from the centre of this great city.

Lindsay, United Kingdom

Lovely room, very accommodating staff and easy to get to. Convenient to the sights but away crowds and noise.

Mary, USA

The rooms were beautifully decorated and perfectly clean. Beds were comfortable. It was in a good location and staff were very welcoming. I would definitely stay there again.

Jean, USA

Everything - very high quality and excellent service

Christopher, United Kingdom

Loved the Bistro. Best eggs Benedict ever. Nice staff. Nicely appointed rooms. Excellent location if you plan to take a Rabbie's tour.

Beverly, USA

Great location!

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 for a two-person trip.

“basement room”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveller
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The room was maybe the furthest room from the reception. I took a lift up 2 floors, walked down a hall into another building and then had to walk down 2 flights of a narrow spiral staircase and down another short hall. In addition, the only window was near the ceiling and you really could not see anything outside. The room was quite small but otherwise comfortable. I felt like I was in a basement.
눇The bed was comfortable but the desk clerk said that was probably because the room doesn't get as much use due to its location.

눉The staff were quite friendly but I like a more affable approach.
눇The room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was adequate and the food was very tasty. We also had dinner in The Bistro. Food was tasty but portions were quite small. I would think it rather overpriced. Location was good with a short walk to Princes Street.

“INTIMATE QUIET ACCESIBLE LOCATION FEW BLOCKS FROM TRAIN STATION AND CASTLE”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveller
- • Single Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉There was no air conditioning although a fan was provided when requested. No towel heaters and I had to reach the room through a lift and a few stairs. One concierge had been unfriendly over the phone saying they could not receive a small parcel for me a few days earlier. I didn't ask who that person had been. The concierge attitude improved and became friendly. More than 1 towel. (although I did not ask for spare ones)
눇I liked the quiet intimate location, the decor, the size of bedroom and bathroom. Excellent bed size Big desk. Good tv size. Strong Wifi. The kettle and coffee facility provided in the room. Quiet room..not a noise or sound.
