Four Points Flex by Sheraton Edinburgh

Exactly what a 3-star hotel should be. It was clean and modern, had very friendly and helpful staff, offered a competitive price, and was in a great area, without offering additional amenities that you’d expect from a 4 or 5-star hotel. The location was unbeatable, with many tourist attractions easily within walking distance, as well as various transit options close by. There are many dining and shopping options in the vicinity. The area felt very safe, even when walking at night. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. A few things to note prior to booking are that the queen size room was on the smaller side, so if you require a lot of space this may not be the best option for you. Additionally, the TV wouldn’t connect to the hotel wifi, so I had to use my hotspot to access streaming options. Nonetheless, I would recommend staying here if you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, affordable, and central place to stay.

We loved our stay here in Edinburgh. Not only was the hotel perfectly central, easy to get to from the train and bus station, it was also beautifully clean, soft big towels, spacious rooms for city center, and had a delightful staff. They were very helpful and kept our bags for us for additional time so we could site see without dragging them along. I was travelling with my children (ages 4 and 8) so the bunk bed option was perfect. They also had a lift to take us to our floor (which we didn't have the luxury of in London). It made travelling with kids easier. The hotel also had a "press to open" door so it didn't stay open in the cold and to any which person. You also needed to key past the hotel desk with your room key to enter the corridors. It made our stay feel even more safe. I really appreciated this hotel. Well done!

Great front counter staff, room was perfect for our family of 4 travellers. Located close to everything: Waverly train station, Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, pubs, restaurants, everything!
