Finding an Edinburgh hotel for only one weekend night is difficult as almost all hotels want a full weekend (2 nights) stay. And finding a hotel for 3 people in one room is even more challenging. Thus, the Walton Hotel was an excellent choice for both issues. The hotel had only two rooms available as we booked 24 hours before... more

Stayed for just one night on business. Good things: nice location for New Town, friendly and efficient staff, good sized room, free WiFi, lots of fluffy towels, decent breakfast. Bad thing: room reeked of a plug in air 'freshener'. I switched it off and opened the window but it took a while for the smell to die down. Use of... more

After reading some of the reviews, I almost didn't stay here. My flight arrived before check in time, but they didn't mind. Every person I met was extremely nice and helpful. They have someone at the front desk/office, from early in the morning, until well into the evening, but incase of an emergency; they post cell phone numbers on the... more

Booked this hotel based on the glowing reviews in Frommer’s Guide and on this website. Made it our home base in Edinburgh for nine nights. The hotel is in a five-story building in a lovely residential area. Only the ground floor and basement level are hotel rooms – the other floors are private residences. For six nights, we had Room... more

Exceptionally clean, friendly, handy for Princes Street and railway station. Loved the breakfast although we would have prefered it to be available a little later than 9am. The rooms & beds were comfortable. Would definitely return & recommend. more

The Walton Hotel, Edinburgh, Scotland is excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful room with a very comfortable bed (the best nights sleep in a hotel). The breakfast was very very good indeed. We only stayed two nights, but will be returning for a longer stay later in the year. The hotel is only a short... more

The Walton B&B in Edinburgh was charming, and the staff was lovely, very helpful, very spirited. They gave many good suggestions for dinging, shopping, etc. They offered to make arrangements for tours. Beautiful residential, quiet neighborhood. We payed 85 pounds per night, about $170 give or take with the exchange rate. It's Scottish owned and run. They offer a full... more

A cute and cozy small hotel with an excellent location in the heart of the city. We could walk to all the major attractions along Royal Mile and Pinces Street. The staff are friendly and the service is good. Defintely value for your money! more

Staying in Edinburgh can be a little expensive and often the blurb doesnt match the room you find yourself in. However, we found the real gem right in the city centre. The good: big room, great service, great location (about 5 minutes walk to Princes Street) great breakfast. The bad: none whatsoever! Im sure if you hunt around you will... more

The Walton is within easy walking distance to Princess St. and all of the shops/attractions of Edinburgh. Our family rooms were adequate and the staff friendly. Breakfast was on the skimpy side with just one egg, one piece of bacon and one sausage. At GBP145 a night I though it was a bit overpriced. more
