We enjoyed our stay at Salisbury Hotel. The staff were extremely helpful when we arrived early. They provided us with detailed information on how to return our rental car and how to access various attractions by bus. The room was quiet, large, spacious, clean with a lovely garden view. The breakfast was excellent. On one evening we had dinner in the restaurant in the hotel and were very pleased with the food and service. We felt we had good value for the price at the hotel and restaurant.

My partner and I stayed at the Salisbury for 2 nights over the late May bank holiday weekend. We booked 'blind' on-line, not really knowing what to expect. The hotel was excellent, conveniently located near to the city centre (about a 15 minute walk but lots of buses if you're not the walking kind) on a quiet side road. The staff were all very helpful, kind and accommodating. I was running the Edinburgh marathon on the Sunday and had to have an early breakfast (before the scheduled breakfast time) and the hotel were more than happy to prepare a breakfast tray to our specification. The room was a good size and very clean with a flat screen TV. If you don't fancy going out into town to eat the hotel has a bistro serving excellent food, including vegetarian options. I would definitely stay at the Salisbury again - it's a small, boutique hotel for a similar price to the chains. Don't go to a chain, go to the Salisbury instead!

Stayed at this Hotel for a special occasion based on recommendations for friends, this establishent did not let us down. We had invited friends and Family from all over the UK and everyone commented on how fantastic the rooms were, walk in showers, fluffy towels and views to the Beautiful gardens from our window. We ate in the restaurant on our first night, wonderful . All dishes had us wantimg more and the desserts were to die for (the girls in the party all had the chocolotae Cup...Yummmmmy).
Cannot fault this hotel, made our stay all the more memorable.

Well done.

Located about 20-25 mins walk from the Royal Mile, or a short bus ride away, we found that this was fairly convienient. Also a short walk to the foot of Arthurs Seat, worth the walk to the top! Has limited off street parking, but no issues when we arrived! The rooms are very nice indeed, very clean and beautifly finished. Whilst small, the shower room was very nicely finished with some nice touches. Breakfast was very nice, served by friendly staff. We stayed 3 nights, but only dined in the restaurant once, but we really enjoyed the meal again served by very friendly waiter. Would certainly recomend this hotel, and would stay there again.

As a family of 7 we had a mixed age range from 2 years to 80. The welcome and customer service was the best we have experienced. The rooms were of superior decor and were perfectly prepared, and serviced. The breakfast and feedback received form the hotels bistro was excellent. Staff are pleasant, hardworking and very well trained in how to deal with customers of all ages and with the needs of small children and an elderly disabled person.
The proprietors are hands on quality managers and have worked extremely hard to create a small personable home from home atmosphere, whilst making our family feel as though we did not want to leave Edinburgh. As a city of culture this hotel have created a wonderful experience of living in the luxury of the past but with the 21st century comforts and services.
We intend to visit again and to introduce our friends.
