My daughter and I stayed one night here. Very easy to get to with onsite parking for only £7.50 for 24 hours. We left the car and a 10’minute walk took us into the centre of Edinburgh. Very quick check in process with great staff. We had a large room on the ground floor overlooking the river. Superb facilities. Free WiFi and tea and coffee (with shortbread). The room had a hairdryer, ironing board and iron. Plenty of storage too. The only negative (very minor) was the light from the wine fridge during the night. Can’t comment on the food as we didn’t eat here. Would definitely go back again!

This is a nice hotel near the city centre but set in a very scenic area next to the Water of Leith and the Modern Art Gallery. The hotel is very outdated. Firstly, even though I booked a standard room I was given one of the windowless rooms which is one level down from what I paid for. The room was very smelly as there's no ventilation to it. There was a green glow all night from the fire exit sign. You are given your soap, shower gel etc in plastic cups with the soap right at the bottom that you can easily miss. It was nice to have complimentary shortbread biscuits though with free tea and coffee in the room. There hasn't been a lot done to the hotel as by the internal signage you can tell it was once a Travelodge.

Fair

Serene environment. Reception was professional. However, room service was not provided maybe because it was booked online… not sure really but I was a little disappointed that room service was not provided.

Britannia Hotel- Edinburgh

Quick check-in/check out service, staff were pleasant. Room was clean, good bathroom utilities however there was a draft from the window. Great storage for clothes and a large mirror for getting ready. Definitely would reccomend- affordable and decent quality. It was also a short 5 minute walk from the Dean Village which was stunning to walk around, and not too far from the centre.
