The rooms need to be maintained and need to be properly renovated and refreshed. Hallways were smelly. Bed covers and bedding were dirty for the pull out couch, which was very cheap feeling material. There was hair on the headboard of the bed in main room. Breakfast was expensive and basic vs just going into town. Location
of the hotel is central.

Excellent accommodation, great mix between hotel and apartment where it feels extra private and you're left alone but with helpful staff (and a drinks/snacks bar) on hand downstairs. Living space is compact yet spacious, offering a kitchen/breakfast area with everything you need. Very clean and good quality appliances and products. We had a lovely stay and will definitely use again. Location was great too, very central and right where we wanted to be. Thank you!

The hotel is clean, contemporary with a simple lobby/lounge, a well appointed fitness room, and a nice laundry facility. There is also a convenient parking garage a short (1/2 block) walk from the hotel lobby. The hotel is located smack dab in the middle of old town Edinburgh, at the base of the Edinburgh Castle. The rooms are small but clean with nice amenities. My wife and I would stay here again the next time we pass through Edinburgh.

Location was fantastic … felt very safe … had early and late check out (for a small fee ). Held our luggage until we needed to leave. Street pay to park but also a Parking garage very close to property. Staff was lovely, friendly, and accommodating. Pay Laundry machine on site was useful. Side note: they do not supply washcloths. Bring your own or buy some lovely soap and cloth at a shop.

The location was amazing and most of the staff were friendly. It was very clean but the room setup was awkward. The bed was up against the wall so if the person sleeping on the side next to the wall had to get up prior to the other person they would have to crawl over that person to get out of bed.

Fantastic location, lovely staff, I believe the late checkouts requested caused a delay in our checkin time unfortunately, but staff were nice and offered tea and beverages during the wait.

Excellent location but would not stay here again. Bed bases were flat pack IKEA type so the mattress on both single beds slid on them. Bed beside window too close so can’t walk down to close sheer curtains for privacy, have to stand in bed. Really!? Twin beds too close together giving little room to walk between resulting in hitting the wooden base with legs. Plenty of extra room to give a bigger walkway between beds and window, so use it! More thought needs to go into the layout of the room. There is also lack of information. For example where is the control panel for air conditioning and how to use it.

I cannot praise this hotel enough!
First off, the location is outstanding! Right below Edinburgh Castle and a short walk to Victoria Street and all the restaurants and shops you could imagine (after you’ve conquered the stairs you will be walking up many stairs).
Secondly, we arrived and the staff were so accommodating and helpful and took our luggage to be stored for a few hours and it was all so easy for us as relatively new independent travellers!
Thirdly, the room. Oh heavens above! Absolutely floored. It felt so futuristic and modern and clean and I have no complaints EXCEPT that our room with two single beds, only one of the beds had a charging port next to the bed so my stuff charged under the TV but if that’s my only complaint then that’s how you know the rest of the room was phenomenal. The complimentary umbrella to use during our stay was very convenient in January Edinburgh weather, I did not know I needed such a fabulous umbrella (if I go back I will purchase I didn’t have enough room in my luggage this time) and the selection of teas was divine and every single item was so well organised.
From entering the building for the first time to the lift, to the laundry room, to our room, it all felt so secure and safe and modern and just well kept, but do not forget your keycard because I did end up locking myself outside after doing laundry which wasn’t ideal.
I don’t normally do reviews but I cannot praise Wilde Edinburgh enough! I’ll be back purely for the hotel!

Excellent hotel and location in Grassmarket. Easy walk to restaurants and site. Could see the Edinburgh from our window. Only disadvantage was the king bed was up against the wall and one of us (me) had to shimmy through a narrow space past the end of bed and windows, then I had to crawl from the end of the bed to my pillow. Glad I'm a limber and flexible 75 year old. Just made it difficult for my nightly trips to the toilet from all the beer! Except for the bed (which by the way was comfortable) we would book again with a different room.

I had a room for a week. When I checked in I was accompanied to my room by Kat (maybe)who showed me the room and how to operate the lights. She also explained how secure the property was as the keycard gave access to the elevator as well as the room. That gave me the basic information but the facility should have a sheet of instructions specifically for those who are first time guests. Such as *How to turn bathroom lights off-*operating the dishwasher *operating stovetop *using laundry *breakfast hours; items and options available. Location was so convenient to everything I was interested in. There was construction on the street side but that did not cause me any issue. I would stay here again. I got cleaning once on a 7 day visit, which was fine with me. Room was clean but floor showed a lot of wear.

It is centric but having no lockers for check in or after check out would elevate the reputation of the property. Another, not room service unless you stay more than a week? That’s crazy (what I was told on the front) and lastly the design of the bed is terrible, you don’t need all that wooden base, there’s plenty of room to have a small hallway so the other person doesn’t have to jump the bed to sleep near the window. What if it’s an elder person that can’t elevate their knees ???

Excellent location in the old town just off the main strip of bars/restaurants on Grassmarket (the Black Bull was our favourite). Expert tip: if walking to the hotel with luggage from Waverley Station (or bus stops on Princes Street) walk along Princes Street to Lothian Road and down King Stables Road to reach the hotel. There are no stairs and only a slight downhill section.

Reception/lobby was beautiful, but very awkward. As other reviewers have stated the position of the breakfast station in the middle of the entrance was both awkward and inconvenient for both diners and passers by as there was no way to avoid each other. The reception area smelled beautiful but very strong, so be aware if you have allergies. Breakfast was also very pricy and we did not partake as we did not find it was good value for the price.

Our room was well equipped and the bed was very comfortable but we quickly found several things that made it inconvenient. Minimal counter space in the bathroom, lack of a second bedside table as the bed was pushed into a corner. Lack of table space. Our luggage remained open on the floor as there were no benches and there was only one luggage stand. The kitchen sink was so small the kettle could not be placed in the sink to fill and you could not wash individual dishes. The only place to blow dry hair or use hot hair tools was over the dining table.

We were in a castle view studio suite on the third floor and the view out the window was beautiful but the cast

The staff here are terrible. Our family rented several rooms over the holidays, only one had working heat. They had to provide space heaters. They made little to no effort to fix the situation. And did that with an attitude. They say they have a 24 hour maintenance staff, that is a lie. They had no \"keys\" for any maintenance after 5pm. They did make an effort to lie about everything from telling us they would fix the situation to offering us a \"free: breakfast that they refused to honor when the time came. No house keeping at all during a long stay. Bottom line.... this is a two star hotel that masquerades as a four star.
