Adelphi Hotel

Little did we know when we planned our stay that we would hit a bank holiday this weekend in Edinburgh. Possibly because of this, reasonably affordable rooms in the city center could not be found at all. A room at this hotel was still the most affordable. Previous reviews were often quite negative. Still, we opted for it for the cost. The carpet on the stairs was indeed quite worn and full of holes. The room was very basic, bed quite narrow for 2, bedding and towels were good. Bathroom OK. Did have to wait a long time on the 3rd floor for hot water. Previously we stayed in Liverpool and in Glasgow at the Adagio both with small kitchen. Everything perfectly fine. Price 120 - 140 pounds less. Compared with that you get here very little for quite a lot of money.

Better don't say anything.......

Property was very helpful with parking and eating establishments as we arrived after most eateries had closed. Good price for a large room with multiple beds, love seat, private bath, and loveseat. Minutes from downtown area across from a park. Be aware Hotels.com advertising as free parking and this is not true! Property owner has requested correction many times but sure will not update listing. Just ask where to park when making a booking.

Very decent room for the price. Upgraded us to a larger suite also. Comfortable bed. Only downside was the sklight blind did not work and there was a slight blocked drain smell.

J ai eu une très belle et très chaleureuse chambre (1 personne) un lit confortable, une vue sur le parc, un salle de bain et une chambre propre, si je devrais dire quelque chose, la fenêtre isole pas au top

The hotel is basic but the rooms and washrooms are very clean and tidy we had a view of leith gardens it’s the second time I’ve stayed there as I come to Edinburgh regularly for northern soul events

A poky little room , very small Very noisy hotel

The room was cosy and clean and had all the things I needed for a brief stay; hairdryer, towels, en suite, a kettle for tea and coffee, a tv. The hotelmanager and chambermaid were friendly too. Only one thing, there was this lingering smell of sewage in the room, which I didn't report.

Staff was friendly. Room was basically a closet. Definitely not as advertised.

Locationwise totally ok. They had construction on the site, which we did not know and were not informed while we checked in. It was super loud and the the dirt /dark sand and stones) came through the air filter from the shower. After reporting, no one came to check, we were given a dirty small handbroom and no dustpan, because it was broken. Not cool.

Staff was there to just ceck you in. Building in need of renovating. Shower didnt work properly.

Much maintenance needed.Doors and walls stained,window sills need a wash.Catch on shutters rusted.On first night."reception spoke little English and was not helpful.There are no lifts in the house,so take light luggage.First night in basement room was noisy as partition wall was thin.Sorry, but cannot recommend this "hotel"

Leith er et dejligt område med pubber og caféer. Hotellet ligger i gå afstand fra sporvognen, som kører ind til byen og videre ud til lufthavnen. Hotellet er gammelt og slidt men ok for en nat eller 2.

Slept well, felt safe, can’t complain!

Thanks for the help to keep our luggage before 3pm check-in & also with calling a taxi upon departure. Much appreciated. Anyway, we accidentally left behind 2 new luggage protectors under the bed due to the dim conditions under the bed extra space for luggage. Please keep them for your own good use. Don’t get them wasted. Thanks again, management & service crew (housekeeper & male receptionist - both are friendly & helpful). We would go back again 1 day if the rate is still justifiable in the future.

The room I stayed in was right next to the stairs and the walls were either thin or the door didn't provide enough sound proofing. Either way, I was constantly woken up by people going down or up the stairs, even past quiet hours. I understand they can only do so much with what they have, but truly the first floor could be redone entirely and only have units on the second or third floor. The bathroom shower didn't drain and the doors barely closed, the floors on the first floor dipped so it felt like I was constantly on a slope...it was a poor experience all around. I hope they can make improvements soon!

Abbastanza vicina al centro, nei dintorni anche bei ristoranti. Camera pulita e accessoriata, e personale molto cordiale. Se dovessi tornare a Edimburgo, so già dove alloggiare.

Not the right choice for travellers

Very nice room with easy access to all areas

Love this hotel, the owner is a lovely helpful guy and very welcoming.. We stayed in the family room which was fantastic and spacious.. The only down side to this hotel (which is nothing at all to do with the hotel) is Edinburgh council have introduced parking restrictions and charges in most streets which are around £3.10 per hour in the designated bays, it is not clear and evident on how or where to pay for these charges, they run Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5:30pm .The hotel used to be able to offer free parking. If you need a hotel that is easy to find, great for the surrounding area of Leith , comfortable clean rooms, has good transport links (bus/team) into Edinburgh city centre in twelve minutes, the bus stop is right outside the hotel and the team stop is about a 3 minute walk away.. Then this is the place for you.. Were We will definitely be booking again when we are next up in Edinburgh
