No 6 West Coates

This was overall a great place to stay, if needing a little TLC. The beds were comfy and there was ample room to unpack your luggage. We had the suite with a lovely mountain view. The only odd thing was the room with windows facting the mountain had the smaller bed, while the back room (with no windows/views) had the larger bed. The glass panel in the shower was missing a bottom gasket so it was impossible to shower without a large amount of water leaking onto the floor. We appreciated the in-room espresso and water bottles. We did not partake in breakfast, which was very grab-and-go with plastic-wrapped pastries. Staff was not seen at all, but must have been on site somewhere; this wasn't an issue for us, but some might want to know before staying here. Overall, a nice stay and great location, somewhat away from all the downtown hubbub.

I spent a week in Scotland and this was the worst stay I had, and by far the most expensive! I didn't receive the access codes to get in, and to get into the key box. Luckily I had mins left on my SIM and could call. A girl in the Philippines gave me the codes. Then I realized the room wasn't cleaned properly (the garbage can wasn't emptied as an example). I hardly slept bc of constant road noise and noise from within, and from allergies (sneezing and blowing my nose all night). I tried emailing the address on their site later, but both times, my email was rejected. I got an email from Andreas, who's supposedly the mgr, the day after I left. I tried calling him but that didn't work either. I asked Hotels.com to contact them and ask for half my $ back (which I thought fair). I heard they refused. That stay cost over $400 Cdn! I understand the festivals were going on, but that was a mistake! The place wasn't worth half of that amount. Avoid this place.

Our room, Room 2, seems to be close to the boiler, because all night the boiler pumps were coming on and off.... and they weren't exactly quiet! Disturbed my sleep a fair bit.

Good stay, very restful, clean room, quiet area, has what you need for a short term stay. Overall the room and common spaces could use a bit of detailing & attention to make it a bit more inviting, but overall I had a great stay. Very close to a bus stop and the 100 Airlink bus if you are coming or going to the airport, restaurants and grocery close by, and good communication from the hosts. Thanks!

Lovely place. Big room, comfy beds. Friendly helpful staff. Couldn’t ask for more

One member of staff was specifically very rude and unprofessional. While breakfast is stated to be served 8-10AM, he removed all breakfast items from the table as soon as we arrived in the dining lounge at 9:45 and when we mentioned the time is still not 10, he rudely replied it is free anyway and we are doing you a favour, as if we are staying there for free!! The room service ONLY includes change of towels! No new bedsheet, water bottles, etc. The water takes randomly 5-10 minutes to get warm! The property is located in a nice neighbourhood with good public transport access (mainly buses).

The walls were a little thin but not enough to truly bother me, will absolutely stay here again

Thank you

The stay didn't offer any cooling devices, even when asked for. It was uncomfortably warm during the day and there was no way to cool the room down. The main staff male who was available wasn't very friendly even when greeted with good mornings.

Avoid this place at all costs! My stay here was a complete nightmare. There was no hot water, the air conditioning didn’t work, and the entire place had a disgusting musty smell. There’s no front desk or staff, just a mailbox where you pick up the key — super sketchy. When I tried to get help or fix the situation, there was zero communication. No one answered. I honestly feel like I was scammed — you pay for a “hotel” but what you get is unlivable. They basically stole my money. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. This place doesn’t even deserve one star.

Lovely room with very convenient transport links. Free breakfast items available in the morning like croissants and cereal. Didn’t see any staff members at all. It’s self check in and self check out. Lovely clean rooms, very comfy beds. Would stay again

Great location for going into Edinburgh city. Lots of nice local restaurants. Walk away from trams. If you are a rugby fan great location for Murrayfield games too. Basic room but great for the price so no complaints. Thanks 🙏

No one there to check us in. We didn’t know there was no elevator and we were on the 3rd floor

Automated check in and lovely facility. Little bit older but very comfortable. Nice shared space with a fridge and microwave available. Super close to the bus stops. Highly recommended!

No 6 West Coates is not really what i would consider a hotel, it's more like an airbnb. We recived our room key via emailed instructions, and we never saw any staff the entire time we were there. This hotel was was bearable for the two nights we spent there, but if we had been staying in Edinburgh longer, I would have found other accommodations. The building is old and in need of renovations for the prices they charge. The room was ok, but not the cleanest. The bed was also not comfortable. I like a firm mattress, but even I found it too hard. There's no air con, which we expected, but the windows only opened about six inches and we had to find something to put in them to keep them propped up so air could get in. There was no fan in the room, so I wouldn't recommend staying here in warm weather. The bathroom was fine, but again, had to prop open the window to let steam out. The room did not have any lamps or fixtures with USB ports, so make sure you have a plug adapter if you're traveling from outside the UK. We had to go to the Tesco Express down the street, and luckily they had one. No mini-fridge in the room, but there was a refrigerator in the common room on the ground floor. The location is pretty good. The tram and train station is about a 10 minute walk, and the main part of town is about 20 minutes. Might not be convenient for someone with mobility issues. Overall, for 300£ for 2 nights, I would not stay here again. There are nicer options for the price.

Very helpful staff. Plenty of towels.

Great location, easy to get into the city. Clean and comfy room.

It’s been really easy and convenient. Would stay there again when I visit Edinburgh

Nice place and close to the city center. It says free street parking but not very feasible and difficult to navigate. We parked at a car park and Uber to the hotel.

Loved this place. The location was perfect, out of the city but not far and bus stops right outside. Restaurants very close. The room was a great size.
