Very good value for money, staff are wonderful, rooms very clean, reception manned 24 hours. Tunnocks wafers left as a welcome for guests! Yes, the decor is rather tired and all needs an upgrade but that would entail a big increase in price. This was my third time staying here and I love it, quirks and all!

I stayed two evenings, once on the front of my trip and again before leaving Edinburgh. The first time, the front desk staff was truly amazing and helpful. It's quiet pretty much and private. My room was spacious and quaintly decorated. If you have to lug a suitcase and don't like stairs, request a ground floor room. The second time staying, the young man and young lady were awesome and helped me with my suitcase up those stairs. When I CKed out early the next morning, a twenty-something couldn't be bothered to lift his eyes from his phone to speak. He never made eye contact as I turned in the key and said thank you. That's typical for that age I suppose but you are on the job so act a bit more professional.

Great value, slightly quirky hotel

Great value slightly quirky but It's the cheapest hotel in the area. Yes it could do with a lick of paint and bathrooms need an upgrade but it's clean. Best part is the manned reception with friendly helpful staff and real keys - no faffing with cards and codes. This was my 2nd stay, hope to be back again next year

The property is in a great location , we had an issue with our room that was rectified right away . The night person was awesome and friendly he was new and didn’t know the protocol asked us to check with the manager in the morning. She got a little defensive about it . Given the age of the building it is to be expected to have some quirks may I suggest new caulking around the tubs , check the tv reception in the rooms provide an avail channel guide , if you are booking and want to avoid 70 steep steps to your room request a mid level or lower floor to save the legs . Overall we had a pleasant stay .

Good location. Comfortable bed and pillows. Quiet rooms. Had some free pastries and hot drinks by the reception. Downside is the weak flushing of the toilet and water can get too hot in the tap and the hot and cold faucet are separate so you cannot mixed them to control the temperature.

A nice hotel in a building with a lot of character. I liked the retro feel of the bedrooms but can see why other may say it's dated. It does have a lot of stairs and no elevator (as advertised) but this was not an issue for us. Staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The location is good at about 20mins walk to the Scott monument or Grassmarket.

Nice hotel odd key policy

A lovely little guesthouse in a Terrace property a stones throw from haymarket, friendly staff very chatty, one odd thing is you have to drop your key in at reception each time you go out as a \"security\" mesure but it only takes a couple mins on entry and exit. For the price I've stopped in more expensive places that have been lower quality.

The location of this property is brilliant for the close proximity to the tram / train station and a couple of lovely pubs opposite - it’s also within easy walking distance of a local Costcutter and Boots so great for any last minute provisions. The staff were SUPER friendly but the overarching issue was the smell. There is a terrible cat pee smell which greets you once through reception and waking to and from your room was very unpleasant. They are aware of it as there are air fresheners trying to mask the smell which do not help, and whilst it didn’t smell in our room I would probably not stay again for this reason. The heater in our room didn’t work, I almost got burnt when the shower temp suddenly changed mid shower and the decor is very tired. Needs a good clean and a refurb.

Historic building let down by poor maintenance

Stayed at Eliza House on Friday night last week.
Its a 3 storey hotel in a terrace of grand Victorian buildings 2 min from Haymarket railway station.
First impressions not great. Dead/ rotting plants in plastics baskets on floor outside front door. Unpleasant musty smells in foyer, scruffy reception desk/back office.
However bones of the building are good, nice tartan carpets, high ceilings.
My ground floor room was at back, was quiet, view of grassy wasteland.
Very comfy bed within a brass 4 poster frame.
Shower was super powerful.
However the TV not plugged hence a cable search round the back of a curtain. The TV aerial was so frayed I expected sparks when i touched it.
The next morning the TV went on mute and refused to put sound back on.
The bathroom suite was dark brown toilet, cream toilet seat, pink bath and dark brown wash basis all from about 1975.
Room was cold and I tried and failed to get the heater to work.
The bathroom ceiling spot lights were not actually attached to the ceiling so dangled from their electrical power cables.
I slept well and the room was pretty clean.
Good location for pubs/ restaurants.
I gave the continental breakfast a miss.
OK its a cheap place to stay but these basic maintenance issues should be fixed.
With so many cheap clean 3 star chain hotels there is no excuse as a 30 second check on all electrical equipt would have identified the issues.
I advised the reception staff of the faults

A very dissappointed couple.

There was a nauseating smell on the staircase outside our room which i can still smell and been home since sun morning. Heater in bedroom was filthy. Furniture all marked. Carpet needing good clean in room. Only 1 lamp at side of bed. Tv was on dressing table at side of bed so we both had soar necks trting to watch it. No ventilation. Old tatty net curtains on windows. Noisy cistern. Renovations goin on all round the hotel. Noisy evry day. Wasnt made aware of this when booked. Ceiling up top of staircase all crumbling. I wonder when this hotel was last inspected. Have stayed in 3 star before . Nothing as bad as this. Well overpriced. Not sure how they have gotten on a holiday accomodation website. The 2 guys that were on reception were pleasant. Didnt compain to them as didnt think they were the owners. Unfortunately couldn't leave as payment was non refundable. Very upset about the whole experience.

Edinburgh “budget” stay

The hotel is a budget hotel requiring some cosmetic improvement but you do get what you pay for!
There is a unusual smell throughout the entrance noting it’s a very old building avoid if you have allergies there’s a very strong animal smell as you enter the property. Our room didn’t smell too bad! Shower water pressure is great and the temperature is hot. Breakfast is pre packed goodies and a hot drinks machine ideal!

Very much looking forward to returning in the new year. The hotel is situated in Haymarket, just a 10/15 min walk to the centre or it is on the tram route if you prefer.

This hotel is conveniently located to visit Princes Street and is not too far from Edinburgh castle, but has definitely seeing better days. Everythings seems old and run down. For example, the stairs are covered with a tartan cloth that is tearing up because of so many years of use. When I visited, the reception and the stairs (many stairs, no lift) had an almost unbearable stench of ammonia, from bleach I guess. The room was clean, the beds where confortable, but the shower was very old and did not allow a strong flow of water. I slept well but I am not too sure if I would come back, perhaps only if I couldnt find something else as cheap in the centre of Edinburgh.

Disappointing accommodation

The hotel and furniture is very old and worn. The heating did not work well, sockets did not function, and one room had to be changed because the smell emanating from the bathroom was awful. The staff were polite but certainly not friendly.

Run down, Unclean.

Hotel was the worst I've stayed in. Run down, dirty carpets in room, rotting old windows, old furniture. No space. More like a hostel than a hotel. So many other hotels in the area. Definitely avoid this one

The property is extremely run down. Walls are filthy with hand marks everywhere. It is very dated and nothing like the advertised photos on the expedia listing. The smell of the whole building was like stale urine. It was so bad we picked up our luggage and left without telling the reception staff.

Alright with some flaws

The staff were friendly but acted last when it came to overall attentiveness. The room was clean but a little run down. We stayed in July and the windows didn't open and the fan was very weak so we were boiling. Great access to the train station and other transport links but I would stay elsewhere next time as there are better hotels in the area for a better value for money.

The location is excellent and we had a large, quiet room. The furniture was a little bit worn, but the room was clean and comfortable and the staff were helpful. We would stay there again.

The hotel itself was exceptionally clean and the staff very friendly and helpful however the hotel is in a serious need of an update and redecorating. Location is great and is a short walk to Princes St

Quirky

I'd describe this hotel as quirky! Our room was spotlessly clean and the staff were polite, friendly and helpful. It was in a good location to get to the centre of the Fringe easily and when we came back in the evenings we were able to have a drink at the bar. It's a very old building and could do with some updating but I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind staying somewhere unusual

Weekend trip

Location was great, bed was comfy, towels was good & the caramel wafer with the tea/coffee maker was a great touch.
However the hotel looks like it has been unloved for several years. Some small issues could have been overcome by a touch of paint.
The bathroom was scorching hot - we stayed the hottest 2 days of the year!
It really could be a better hotel if given some TLC

The staff were very \"uninterested \" I had called prior to booking to ensure parking availability and was assured it was plentiful and available ... on arrival I discovered the only parking was by meter at 3.50 ( pounds) per hour and only for 4 hours at a time the other option was a 20 min walk away in a parking lot at 12 pounds per day !! When I questioned the owner she all but called me a liar about my previous call .... also in the booking breakfast was included but I was told there was non as not enough people had requested it ... in the room the bathroom vanity light didn't work and I was handed a bulb to sort it out myself ( which due to an old fitting took me a while to fix) z. The advertised wifi only worked in public areas and the room was not cleaned on our third day as \"someone forgot\" all in all a very disappointing experience and I would def not reccomend the \"Ritz\" to anyone ..especially at the rate they charge !!

Ritz, Edinburgh

Comfortable overnight stay in an area on the outskirts of the main shopping area but has good ways to get around and convenient for public transport etc. Unfortunately there is no lift in the building or a ramp at front of the hotel.

Great place to stay in Edinburgh

Big, clean, sweetly decorated room. Very friendly, helpful service. Located only a pleasant 20 minute walk from the castle, palace, shops, restaurants and more. We are highly recommending it to all our friends and family.

The hotel is very old fashioned however the key elements in the room such as cleanliness and condition of the bathroom were perfectly acceptable. The service was good and the reception person allowed me to check in early as my schedule changed at the last minute. Given the location and cost this provided good value for money.
