This property was lovely, and on our last evening we had a lovely visitor in our room upon our arrival home from dinner ... a cat! Most would be bothered by this, we saw it as a sign of good will.

For the price we paid during The Fringe Festival it was fantastic value for money. Yes the hotel is tired and in need of refurbishment but it was clean and comfortable enough and was perfect for us to lay our head down after 2 busy Festival days. Only a 15/20 minute walk from the Royal Mile and directly opposite Haymarket Train Station. Lots of shops, pubs and restaurants minutes away from the property. We were able to park 2 minutes away in Distillery Lane using Just Park app. The surrounding area seemed very safe day or night. Finally we were that happy with the hotel and its fantastic price during Fringe month we have booked again for next year already!

Our stay at the Guard Hotel in Edinburgh was very good. The location was great; close to shops, pubs and tours. The Hotel is very quaint and had all the amenities we needed. The only thing that would have made it better, would have been a small fridge in the room. Otherwise daily service was great.

The carpet is out dated with stains all over, the bathtub leaked, the windows are old with peeling paint. There are water stains on the ceiling and paint cracking around wall lamps etc. For the price we paid it is over priced in this condition. There was hair on the coffee cup saucers in the room and the bathroom door couldn’t be opened all the way for access to the sink. You had to close the door to get past the tub for the mirror and sink. The attendant was fabulous and helped us with information we asked for. He was extremely nice! Great job on him!

This property is an old property that needs renovating. In saying that it was clean and our king room was huge.
Khaled checked us in and he was very helpful, friendly and explained everything about the property.
It is in a great location but on a main road opposite Waterloo train station. This is why we chose it for 1 night prior to catching a train early the next morning.
It’s very inexpensive for the area and needs updating hence the price.
I’d recommend it as long as you are not expecting anymore that a 3 star hotel.

Great place to stay with easy access to tramway and Haymarket Station.
Found parking (albeit expensive at £26.49 for the night)) at the Distillery across the road about 200m away.

The hotel was good enough as a base, but the in-room cups weren't cleaned properly. The beds were made, and they gave us clean towels. They didn't remove the equivalent dirty towels, though. There was no back on the TV remote

The property is shabby and needs painting.
The room we had had a water stain on the ceiling. In the bathroom. Lino tiling was coming away from the wall. The bedroom was in need of decorating.
It was not worth £494 for 4 nights

This is an affordable hotel in Edinburgh. It is right across the street from the Haymarket Station. The rooms are small but clean and the staff is super nice and welcoming.

We did not realise there was no reception, but luckily we checked in before the staff left. Helpful staff. We have to pay cash in full since their card machine was broken?
Good location, but can be noisy. Good size room but not comfortable bed.

Staff was very polite. However the place was quite dirty, peanuts on the floor, plenty of hairs on the carpet, the toilet was running water during the day and night. Difficult to sleep with the constant noise. The bed was also unsteady and noisy. There was some spider webs hanging on the ceiling.

Down for rugby. Hotel basic and a little tired in need of a facelift. Shower only warm at best. Extra heaters in room. Which were needed. Old windows bit draughty. Overall nae good and nae bad.

We were early for check-in and it took some time to find a member of staff to take our bags for storage. Check-in was smooth and we were forewarned that the hotel were unable to take card payments. The room smelled musty and was dated (in need of modernisation). It seemed that we were in a disabled room with a wet room shower, the position of the toilet meant that only a child could sit on it properly, very little space between it and dividing wall. Apart from tea/coffee making facilities in room the hotel didn't offer anything else The mattress was springy but nonetheless comfortable, Room was a bit noisy from passers by and trams. Overall however, for a one night stay in Edinburgh the location was excellent and it did represent value for money.

The shower was cold - not hot water and when we got to the room it was cold but I told the receptionist and he provided me with a heater but the hot water was not reported. No receptionist around at 6am for me to report the problem to. Room was comfy and clean. great value for a night in Edinburgh which is expensive.
