The property is really nice at walking distance from the old town and it very well served by public transport. The only downside was that we were put in the attic room and the stair to access it were very steep. We were not asked if the stairs would have cause problems.

The room we had was in what is essentially the attic. An incredibly narrow staircase made it very difficult to get suitcases safely up to our room. The room was fine, but the shower area was dirty.

We had never stayed in Edinburgh before this trip. We found our B&B to be a pretty nice location. It was an easy walk to the main attractions. For the price, you can’t beat it. City transport is easy to use. The bus stops right on the street in front of the hotel. The staff were friendly. The room was clean. It was nice to have a tub/shower combo. The only negative would be how loud the other guests were at night. The walls and door aren’t very insulated. Check in and out was easy. We would stay here again.

We stayed for one night - and the hotel served its purpose. Clean and safe hotel. For the price it was great. Pillows were very flat, but beds were otherwise comfortable. We were on the second floor and in May with the sun shining in it was very warm- the windows were only able to be cracked open a little bit. I understand there are safety requirements, but keep this in mind when considering the time of year. Thank you!

Beautiful hotel to stay at while in Edinburgh

We had such a wonderful stay at the Cumberland Hotel. We stayed in a room on the first floor in the back near the garden, which also had quick access to the bar (that was convenient).It is a older hotel and we could hear people talking and walking above us early in the morning but we were fine with the accommodations. Be aware that there isn't early check-in but the staff does have luggage storage available. The staff was very nice, friendly, and helpful. The hotel is close to a tram station and many bus stops; but it was very quiet on the grounds. Hotel is very convenient to many stores, restaurants, and stores. Would highly recommend staying.
