I stayed at the Parliament House Hotel the night before my wedding, which was held at Howies Restaurant nearby. I would highly recommend this hotel. I stayed in the suite which was ideal for pre wedding activities, the room was huge, bright and airy and there was plenty of room for the make up artist, hairdresser, photographer etc. Most of...

My husband and I stayed at Parliament House Hotel in mid-May. The hotel was in a great location as it is within walking distance of all that Edinburgh has to offer but is tucked away on a quiet street at the base of Calton Hill. The layout of the hotel was slightly strange since in order to get to our... More

PROS: Overall, we loved this hotel! The location was amazing, we loved that the main entrance was down a tiny cobblestone road. Everything was with in walking distance, including the main tourist strip and the station. We found a walking trail next to the hotel (you can't miss it) called "Calton Hill." It's a , pretty steep hill and it... More

The hotel is in a great little back road so it's in a quiet area. It is 5 minutes away form the station and walking distance to the center. The rooms are clean and tidy, old style but that's the way they wanted to keep it. I go to Edinburgh twice a year on business and I shall be coming... More

In terms of location you cannot get much better and it is quiet and the rooms are spacious enough and perfectly clean. What really let it down were the staff in the restaurant. There was one particularly unpleasant member of staff who really put a dampener on our one dinner and 2 breakfasts we spent there. If you can avoid... More

We stayed here for a theatre break, we stay in Edinburgh often and usually opt for the B&B's that rank high on this site. But they were all fully booked so we chose the Parliament House Hotel Edinburgh and were not disappointed. So very central, to Princes Street, Edinburgh Playhouse and the Old Town and just slightly back from the... More

Found this Hotel on the internet, located in a small quiet cobbled street. Lovely quiet Hotel we have stayed twice, the second time we were given a room which was located at the bottom of a spiral staircase after first going up in a lift , we did find this a bit of a problem. The food was great and... More

We stayed here on a Sat night in Feb when we were going to a show at the Playhouse. We found the hotel by chance on lastminute.com and were pleasantly surprised with the quality we got for our money and the location. The best bit was being only 5 minutes walk to the Playhouse but because it is on a... More

We stayed in Rooms 10 & 11 on 3rd floor..stairs only as no lift but we managed fine. Room 11 had fab views and... More

This hotel is central and yet in quiet surroundings. It was so comfortable and warm. The reception was welcoming and the food was to our taste.
