I stayed at this Hotel prior to catching an early morning flight to Belfast. The Hotel is easily accessible from Haymarket Station (just across the road) and is one minutes walk from The Airport 100 Link Bus Service to Edinburgh Airport. There are several shops and take away options in close proximity to the premises. The Hotel is quite adequate... More

I've stayed in many of the chain hotels in Edinburgh, but was attracted to the Guards because of its links to the Scots Guards and my slightly obsessive fixation with military history. I booked directly with the hotel via their website, opting for the Balmoral room. Then I read some of the reviews here. However, my faith in the Scots... More

My wife and I stayed in this hotel for three nights, a "birthday treat" from our children. Firstly, let me say the staff are very friendly and the breakfast OK (a bit bland and it seemed to me that the ingredients for the cooked breakfast were from the "value" range of a local supermarket). However there was plenty of it.... More

We stayed here on our way home from holiday. Opposite Haymarket station which was perfect for us. The airport bus stops 2 mins from the door. We had a huge room which was at the fron of the hotel very spacious and clean. The bathroom was a bit like a pod in the corner of the room. It didn't have... More

We stayed at the Windsor Castle room, and it is so spacious! The shower is really cool, with all those rain-forest features, plus a bathtub was really cute. The carpet was rather dirty, but as long as you wear slippers, you are fine. The breakfast is very good. It is a family-run place, with 12 rooms altogether. Location is 20... More

Room was OK for the money - at least it was clean and comfortable. Shared facilities. Good location for Haymarket station. Credit Card machine was not working when I stayed there for work and they demanded cash, which I refused to pay. My card has still not been debited, which I am trying to sort out as it is making...

We stayed in this hotel for a concert at the Murrayfield Stadium. It was across the road from Haymarket station so location was excellent. We had a top floor room towards the back of the hotel and it was very quiet. The room had a built in shower and toliet which was just useable. The shower door didn't close and... More
