I never checked in because our key cards did not work. Called the “hotel” about 20 times that night & no one responded. Spent 3 hours on the phone with Expedia & finally got a different hotel that was awesome! Do not book this place if you will have a late check in & by late I mean 8pm. It was ridiculous. To this day a week later no one from the hotel has contacted me.

Very little to no communication with the staff there. Only saw one person on staff from 10am-6pm. There was no phone number to reach anyone. There was no hot water for more than 12 hours and no one to contact to fix the issue. Location was good and the room was clean and comfortable.

The apartment was great. And 10 mins from haymarket tram stop.
We had room 18 on the top floor. So if you have mobility issues this is not for you. But we knew that. So no complaints.
The shower has not got a wide opening. So if you have a larger body it might be an issue.
The location is about 15-20 mins to princes street . Would stay here again.

This is a clean, basic hotel. Good value for money and good location. It’s a bit tired though and there’s a lot of crap in the hallways which they could put away or get rid of instead of shoving in corners.

The most annoying feature of this stay was that there was no staff whatsoever in the property. So checking in, getting in to the premises, finding the key and accessing the bedroom was stressful and a nightmare. No one answered the phone and my message informing the property owners of my arrival was not answered.
There was also no cleaning or changing of bedding during the stay, even after the ‘clean my room’ sign was left on the door handle.

Not recommended, even though the bedroom was OK.

Stayed at Palmeston Suites Edinburgh recently and unfortunately had a very bad experience.

The room itself was clean, warm, and reasonably comfortable, and the building has an older style/charm. However, when we arrived, there was a rat inside our room.

The worst part was that reception is not open 24 hours, so we were unable to get immediate help or request a room change. Because the reception hours did not match our schedule, we ended up having to stay in the room for 2 nights with the rat still there.

What surprised me most is that I checked reviews before booking and did not see anyone mention this kind of issue.

I understand old buildings can have problems, but this should have been handled much better, especially regarding guest support and availability of staff in emergencies.

Would not stay again unless these issues are properly addressed.

We booked this location to get closer to the airport for our last night. The photos made it look lovely but when I got there to check in, the steps up to the front door would've been rough for my 80 year old mother with her suitcase. Once inside to check in, I did not feel comfortable and it looked very cluttered and more like a hostel. I asked about parking and there was none, so we would've had to park on the street with meter spots and hoped to get one close to the hotel. Or parked at least 5 minutes away and lug our luggage to the hotel. No lift to upstairs rooms. So once I told my daughter and mother about all of this, when I got back to the car, we opted to just lose our money that we had paid and find another hotel to pay and stay at.

A kitchen. That’s the only way I can start this because was a convenience to have. Having a kitchen with basic amenities really helps after a long day out or staying in. While off the main road, it’s still an easy walk from Haymarket station and back. It’s a brisk walk to many popular spots like Dean Village. The staff is helpful, even if you are on your own most of the time. While there are no elevators, this hotel is still a great find.

This was a budget hotel and we thought we had good value for money. It was half the price of everywhere else that close to the city centre. The accommodation was a bit tired and shabby, but clean and functional if you want somewhere cheap and central to stay. The bed was comfy, the small kitchenette was adequate for preparing breakfast and snacks, and the room was warm and quiet considering it's proximity to the city centre.
We were a bit worried having read some of the reviews on here, but on reflection think you need to be realistic. It was budget accommodation and that was what we experienced. We were happy with our stay and would go again.

En general aceptable. Bien ubicada y precio razonable. El problema es que tuvimos una rata en el baño. Nos costó mucho comunicarnos y hasta las 11 de la noche cuando al fin lográbamos conciliar el sueño alguien llegó a sacarla. Después de las 6 de la tarde ya no hay nadie y eso en casos como ese puede ser un problema.

Staff were lovely, although we had a few issues with the room. 2 broken plug sockets, one of which had caused an electrical fault and was covered in soot, the other with a broken plug still inside it. The Hot plate would take 90 minutes to cook anything. The shower leaked across the floor and one of the radiators was broken. I was supplied a bread knife for general cooking, which made food preparation difficult.

I'm not sure why this venue is rated as four stars, it is not.
As a woman on her own, I really was not comfortable with my room being just inches from the front entry. I travel a fair amount and this was the only time I've ever but something behind the door so I'd wake if my door opened.

The smell of damp in the bathroom was disgusting. I went straight out and bought an airfreshner. The bathroom was small and even with the sliding shower door fully open it was a struggle to get in and I'm not a large person.

There were two sofas in the room whibh

Hotel from Hell

Bathroom faucet so wobbly we couldn't use it; mice in the room; food left in fridge from previous occupant; dirty towels left in bin from previous occupant; lamps on either side of bed were broken; pillows filled with golf-ball sized lumps; no one was ever at the front desk--same umbrella was behind the desk every day, never moved. We left a day early; slept the third night in our clothes with bags packed so we could leave early in the morning. We met another traveller who said he had also stayed there a few years ago and had a similar experience. The owners haven't learned, and I don't see how they stay in business, So I am telling the truth to warn off other travelers!

Problematic for available parking. We stayed twice: at the beginning of our trip and at the last night of our trip. Last night was far better than the first night. The first night’s stay, our auto key door was broken so we were given a key and the door handle was nonexistent. On our first night’s stay, the receptionist did not explain how to use the card for electricity. She wasn’t very helpful nor was she friendly. Upon our last night’s stay, we had a nicer room and our welcome was far friendlier.

Disappointing

Was very disappointed with the condition of our room, as well as the lack of communication when I did send them a message. The location is very good, the bed was very comfortable and it was convenient to have a small kitchen. I appreciated the email for late check in and that was easy. The place is in need of some repairs and proper cleaning. There was a lot of dust/mold in the bathroom vent as well as the fridge vents, the curtains were coming off the rod, the tv remote was absolutely disgusting and the kitchen didn't have enough tools to actually cook much. My communication during our stay on this went unanswered. I wouldn't stay there again because of the above.

The hotel is in a lovely location and close to transportation. It is a beautiful historic building on the outside, but the room desperately needs updating, i.e. curtains, carpet, kitchen, furniture, etc. The weather was warm when we were there and it was suffocating inside, especially since the window didn’t open.

Staff in hotel next door stated this is a frequent problem . They tried to reach the staff to help us, too and got their answering machine. If you don't have international calling on your phone, you can not reach them. Service desk closes at 6 PM.

The property is fairly close to bus and tram transportation. It's 2 block walk to the main road that connects directly to Princes street.
My main complaint is there is only once accessible outlet in the bedroom. There are outlets you can use in the kitchen which we did. No outlet other than for a shaver connection (not a standard outlet) in the bathroom. Had to use the one outlet available in the bedroom to use the hair dryer (or use the kitchen outlet). With 4 adults and phones, iPad, portable chargers to re-charge, that was an inconvenience. There is no option to purchase any water or snacks in hotel. We were placed on the first floor which was super convenient given our heavy luggage. I don't think there is a lift.

Honestly one of the worst stays I’ve had in a hotel.
We initially went to drop off our bags but couldn’t be checked in yet as we were slightly early so we said no problem can we leave our bags and then check in later on and that was fine with the receptionist. Later when returning nobody was at the desk to let us in so we waited, rang both numbers available and buzzed for about 25 minutes, then someone coming in kindly let us in so we got in and waited another 5 minutes until we saw our key in an envelope with our name and room number on so we got it and went upstairs.
20 minutes later we got a call back from reception so we explained and was told “I was only away from the desk for 10 minutes” which was just clearly untrue and my call log can show otherwise. So we basically just said we have checked in now so it’s done and ended the rather passive aggressive call from the receptionist.
Everything in the room looked as if it was found on Facebook marketplace secondhand or something. The shower was like a trickle down your back and the temperature was a choice of either scalding, tepid or freezing, the tap in the kitchenette only had warm water and the rest of the room was just incredibly strange. There was even a random ottoman for some strange reason.
We never saw a soul at the desk after that first encounter and the only positive I could possibly saw is that it wasn’t disgustingly dirty and it had a lot of plug sockets.
Overall I’m really unhappy with this stay.

We had difficulty getting into the property even though we had advised them of late arrival. They sent an email through Expedia explaining how to get in which Palmerston showed me, but I still haven’t received! We did love the neighborhood and the 75 steps up to our room were invigorating!!

Warm and good value but see comments

The room was warm, and the bed comfortable (though the bottom sheet wasn't big enough for the double bed; I was alone; two people might have been more affected by this). (1) Biggest flaw: NO TABLE/BREAKFAST BAR OR CHAIRS TO EAT FOOD. (In fact no chair at all), though basic cooking facilities (microwave, small hob, kettle, toaster), pans and utensils were provided; nor were there any trays to eat off one's lap. (2) Not suitable for anyone of limited mobility or 'traditional build': the stairs down to my basement room had no rail for part of the way, and the shower and surrounding area were cramped (though the water was nice and hot)

We came here for new years eve, good location 10min walk to princess street. Really enjoyed our stay just a couple of things to be aware of... there is no lift and a lot of stairs, we had requested a low level room as i have mobility issues and were put right on top floor with 6 sets of stairs was not ideal. Room was lovely, cleaned and fresh towels everyday. 1 of the days we got up late and the cleaner walked straight in without knocking. Very apologetic but also embarrassing for me as i was just in a towel after showering. Room was extremely hot all the time. Not a bad stay

NIGHTMARE HOTEL.
We had booked a 4 night stay in what seemed to be a well located - good reputation apartment block. How wrong we were.
We were awoken in the middle of the night (twice, one at 2am & another night at 4am) to banging on the front communal door and then somebody banging on our own front windows (right by our bed) as we were staying on the ground floor. This was utterly terrifying to say the least. Even if this was someone locked out- this didn’t matter- we called the out of hours emergency number and it went straight to voicemail multiple times, when speaking to the receptionist the next morning who was utterly helpless, she was more concerned that we had phoned 101 to get advice from
The police rather than checking what had happened. The police actually attended the property to investigate after we called 999 due to this being multiple times that someone was banging on our windows trying to gain access into the building. They thought it became a concern for welfare.

The room itself was very basic. A tap that you could almost pull off when trying to turn it on, a door that looked like it has been kicked in, very basic kitchen supplies - we ended up buying even kitchen spray and wipes for the surface as there was nothing to use - the fans for the bathroom and kitchen barely worked and the overall room was not worth the ridiculous amount of money we payed for it. We are utterly fed up and disappointed in this stay, we will NEVER be staying here again.

Good value

This was good value with a central location and I would stay again as close to my office for work. The room was a decent size. Shower was a bit small but good pressure. The curtains were a bit stained and could do with being replaced, same with sofa. Overall decent experience.

Palmerston was perfect for the price and for what we were looking for. We were hardly in our room because we spent the day exploring Edinburgh, so we didn’t need anything more luxurious. The bed was adequately comfortable for resting and the room temperature was fine. It was ten minutes’ walk to the tran and busses. All in all, it was comfortable and perfect for our purposes.

They moved us to the Grovesnor which had smaller beds and many flights of stairs to climb. When I reached out about a discounted rate, I got no response. In fact, we heard nothing from them at all other than moving us to a room with smaller beds. Other than the poor communication and smaller beds, the Grovesnor was nice and well taken care of.

Stay in Edinburgh

The place was ok and conveniently located with easy access to Princess Street. On the downside the microwave was not working, and as it was out of hours I had to climb 3 flights of stairs to retrieve another from a top floor apartment after contacting the OOH emergency number. Also the drain hole cover in the shower was not fastened properly and kept moving all over the place as the water gathered in the tray from the shower.

This was a nice place to stay while in Edinburgh. It was nice having a kitchenette which made it convenient for breakfast. Everything worked in the room but it would have been nice to being able to open a window for ventilation as there was no fan. The area around this location is heavy residential but it was beautiful to walk through. The only knock is there is no lift and you have to carry your luggage upstairs. I would definitely stay here again.

Would stay again but …

Loved the room and the fact it had a fridge and kettle. It needs a little bit of upkeep. For example the window didn’t close completely so they had towels there to keep the cold out. The door didn’t lock when I was leaving for a walk so they had to fix it. The sponge in the kitchen was a bit smelly. However the bed was very comfortable and it was clean. I would stay again.

Okay

Good location for getting to the City Center, Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. Room had no eating area. Kitchen was small but that was fine. The lack of anywhere to eat what was presented was a problem.

Phones were turned off so if you needed to get the front desk (if attended) you had to go down many steps and then back up the steps. Kitchen items were not uniform - different size plates etc. No dish towels. The curtains were not room darkening. They did provide privacy. A sleeping mask was needed.

For the price I am hesitant to recommend.

It took us about 45 minutes to one hour walking from the train station to the property which is also not far from Dean Village on foot. There were self-catering facilities, fridge, ironing board and iron. We stayed for 3 nights. I couldn’t sleep the first night at all as the mattress was too soft. I asked for another bed sheet and duvet so I could sleep on the floor, which after, I slept reasonably well. With the price being over £120 a night, I think it was a bit expensive.

We booked a luxury suite with king bed. They put us in a junior (smaller/cramped) suite in the basement. Bugs greeted me on the bathroom floor & in the shower in the morning and there were stains all over the chair. We complained the day we booked in and the staff told us they were fully booked and couldn’t do anything about it. So who got our BOOKED luxury room? They lied to us. No communication when we contacted management online and called the emergency after hours line. Expedia couldn’t even get them to answer the phone. Front desk person said she didn’t work there when we tried to check out. Do not stay here! We are still looking for our refund as we checked out and into a decent hotel the following morning.

Not bad, but warm

The room was absolutely boiling hot, so we both struggled to sleep. The window was pretty limiting too in terms of letting in some fresh air. It's a decent affordable option if you're looking for somewhere you won't spend much time in during your trip.
