Chose this hotel mainly because of other reviews on Tripadvisor and was not disappointed! The chap on the reservation desk when we checked in was very helpful indeed - gave us lots of info on buses etc to get to the sites. However we were able to walk to the Royal Mile in about 20 mins and lots of shops... More

Great location for this homely hotel. Just a 25 minute walk to Waverley but also plenty of buses. Very white sheets and towels, toiletries, tea, coffee and choc biscuits in room. Continental breakfast provided cooked available at extra cost. Great pub at the top of the road, The Salisbury, serving delicious food. Would stay here again. More

Thank you very much for your enthusiastic review. The Salisbury Hotel is fortunate to be located close enough to Waverley Train Station so that guests can get to us easily by taking a short walk, or by riding one of at least ten very frequent Lothian Buses. We try and make our guests stays as comfortable as possible by supplying... More

I had booked a room beginning April 2012. The Hotel sent me 2 emails, claiming that my credit card was 'not valid'. I assumed that they had therefore cancelled my booking and was surprised to later receive a further email informing me that they have charged my card with £ 20 for the 'no show'. Obviously the 'invalid card' now... More

Very good hotel for its price in city of expensive hotels. Well refurbished and good attention to detail in every room. Slightly disappointed with stewed coffee at breakfast instead of fresh which could have been available from coffee maker. But eggs and bacon beautifully cooked. Also would rather have complimentary chocolate in rooms rather than custard cream biscuits but otherwise... More
