I found this hotel through Late Rooms.Com (although I didnt book through them as I wanted to look at the hotels own website prior to booking). I phoned up ahead of booking to ask a few questions as Im not a seasoned hotel user and Kevin answered all my questions in a friendly manner. So despite negative reviews I had... more

This hotel was a huge disappointment. The service was poor, the bathroom had not been cleaned , including the toilet. They tried to charge me 5 pounds to look after one medium sized suitcase for 3 hours after I had checked out. A rip off. The room was very very small with no chair, the only place to sit was... more

Our first trip to Edinburgh was a nice experiance, but no thanks to the Merith House Hotel. Never seen worse! Trouble with rom booking, (me and my spouse placed in two single rooms/had to change rooms during stay). Still no refund or redused fee. No space, no place to unpack, and smallest bath-"room" we have seen. WC places practically in... more

The hotel is situated to the east of the city center, across the street is a large park and the bus stop is conveniently in front of the hotel, where you can catch a bus that will take you to the city center in 10-15 minutes. My room was tiny, though it fit me and my small suitcase. The bathroom... more

We booked this accommodation via the internet and wished we had taken notice of reviews already written. It certainly was a most unpleasant experience on our first ever visit to Edinburgh. We had to pay in full on arrival and were then told we had room 13 (that should have told us something) and it was up the stairs. Well,... more

Couldn't beat the price - for a reason. I left covered in bug bites - even though I ended up sleeping on the bed as I could not bear getting between the dirty sheets. Shared the room with mice - which we saw scurrying across the floor on more than one occasion. I'm disgusted and off to scratch my itchy... more

I've read the other reviews which if I had read before, I wouldn't have stayed there. But, in general, it's now clean - good towels, nice smelling beding. The old boy was a bit gruff, but nothig like the other reviews. He insited on booking a taxi for me, and went and got a map of the town after the... more
