My husband and I stayed at the Ritz Edinburgh this week, and really enjoyed ourselves. Positives - Great location (within easy walking distance to all of the major sites) Flawless wifi Beautiful staircase with sky-high ceilings and bold red wallpaper (tons of character!) Comfy rooms (though a bit worn, particularly the bathroom) Relatively cheap price compared to other area hotels... More

Very centrally located Hotel. Nice and helpful staff. Didn't eat breakfast or any other meals or drinks, bit there are lots of good restaurants and bars close by. We got a very comfortable bed and a nice room. Free wifi.

This hotel is quite nice, but is also quite old and out-dated. There's no lift, so I had to drag my luggage up the stairs (luckily I was on the first floor!). The room was quite spacious and had a lovely four poster bed, but the bathroom was carpeted which was quite strange. Room was clean though and staff were... More

We ( me and my husband ) used this hotel as a base so we weren't in the room much only to sleep and get changed. We thought the hotel was lovely with lots of character, yes it could do with up dating the decor but we weren't really in it long enough to notice. The staff were helpful and... More

The photographs on the website are very misleading, they make it look quite grand while in reality it is a bit of a dump. This is a tired and run down hotel which needs a major refurbishment. Our room was tiny and horribly overpriced. I wouldn't pay more than £40 a night for a room at this hotel and the... More

Might have been a good hotel in the 70's but this hotel has not been updated since then. Everything is old, tired and really not that clean. Breakfast room is awful and the so called continental breakfast the poorest I've had in many years. The chef didnt bother turning up to make cooked breakfasts. OK if away with the lads... More

Every time I visit Edinburgh, I always choose to stay at Ritz! The hotel staff are very friendly and welcoming. The rooms have character and are clean, comfortable and cosy with prompt room service. Good menu to choose from for breakfast and dinner - don't know about the Haggis though! There is also a room separate to the restaurant, with... More

This hotel is friendly, clean and excellent value for money. It is situated a short walk from town and has some very good restaurants and pubs nearby.
