The location of this hotel CANNOT be beat. Right across the street from the train station. Two minute walk across the bridge and you're in Old Town. All along this street are great shops and the new town area. When I booked my reservation I called and made sure that I had a refurbished room book as I read all... More

This place is wonderfully located by waverly station and the airport bus pick up but that is the only wonderful thing about it. The room smelled bad, the shower was moldy and the bath mat just scary dirty. The mattresses were old, stained and uncomfortable. If you have kids beware the window in our room was not able to be...

I and my husband booked this hotel twice (2011 and 2012 year). On 2010 year we lived in OLd Wawerley hotel Edinburgh (very close to British Royal). I can say , that hotel is in the excellent place. It is very fine to go around in the old ans Victorian city, to travel from airport, to go to all sightseeing... More

We were a little wary after reading some reviews. We requested a refurbished 4th floor room. No complaints whatsoever. Room was very comfortable and clean. Staff were very helpful. Breakfasts were good. Only complaint was that Heidi's restaurant did not change its daily shoppers special although it was very good value.

Had a short (2 night) stay here in May. Booked on line & a really low price for a great location just 3 minutes from Waverley station. Very convenient for walking to The Royal Mile & other attractions and of course shopping for "she who must be obeyed"! We were on the 4th floor but unlike other comments our room... More

Recent reviews worried me slightly, but we enjoyed our stay. Stayed in room 404 and no issues with either cleanliness of room or hot water. If I were being picky, fixtures and fittings could have been better polished and area around and under fridge had not been dusted, but overall impression good. Good variety of breakfast items and friendly helpful... More

This hotel it showing its age. The celing in my room had mold on it as well as cracks. The room didn't have a good finish. The carpet in my room was unclean and in the hall was thread bearn. I paid £75 for one night stay with breakfast included. I will not be back in a rush!

Room I was in is in need of major refurbishment, bed lumpy, pillow a flat and not comfortable, noisy room and tram works disturbing hotel guests. The bathroom was disgusting with the fan sounding as though it was going to come off the wall and the shower curtain looked as though it had mould. I would not recommend this hotel.

It's scruffy and things are not quite right. The wi-fi is hit and miss. Awkward layout. But all of this is easily resolved by paying twice as much elsewhere. The Royal British Hotel is a low price place in the centre of town. My room was 122 and it was fine, I got what I paid for and was satisfied.... More
