Pros: I told them I am severely asthmatic. When I walked into the room I immediately smelled musty old rug that was cleaned at least dozens of times and exhausted its useful life a long time ago. I went back to the front desk and told them needed a different room for medical reasons and willing to pay more. The front desk person and the day manager told me that they did not have availability without any serious they said no without any consideration and force me to sleep in this room where I ended up wheezing all night. They also lied to me that all the rooms were renovated at the same time and were the same. And it turns out that there were at least a few rooms available.

Pros: Location is brilliant - Princes St and the Royal Mile are only a short walk away, making it ideal for shopping, seeing the sights and walking to restaurants. Hotel was comfortable.
Cons: Only one lift provides access on the reception level - the other lift requires you to carry your suitcase down a series of steps which was inconvenient. Choice of food at breakfast was a bit limited but it was still reasonable as hotel breakfasts go.

Pros: Wonderful staff, really nice room. Very central location. Great experience
Cons: The drinks in the bar could have been stronger, but I'm clutching at straws, everything was very nice.

Pros: Location and good communal area

Pros: Location, price and affordability, cool design, friendly staff, open lounge/bar/restaurant with good hours. Quiet rooms!
Cons: AWFUL WiFi- we resorted to paying roaming charges on our mobile phone b/c we needed to get online. No phone in room to call to lobby? Very little lounging furniture-even an extra armchair or loveseat would be nice. Name 'Motel One' cud be better:)

Cons: A que often formed for breakfast, possibly due to a tour staying at the hotel. However we were not acknowledged as we waited, nor any apology offered by the wait staff for this occurring. Filming of a movie directly outside the hotel was an inconvenience when entering or leaving, perhaps we should have been informed of this road closure when booking.

7.9 Good
Pros: Great location and also had car parking
Cons: Stayed two nights, room was not made up on 2nd day, had to ask for clean towels. Only one coffee satchet per person, so no coffee on day 2 either
6.5 Good
Pros: Spacious suite living room, separate half guest bath, Decent breakfast with separate order menu, gym had free weights to 30kg, location is on royal mile down road from castle (but for Christmas markets and shopping, a princess street hotel would been better), overall friendly staff.
Cons: 1. For a royal mile suite, main bathroom was standard. Overly spacious living room really could’ve spared space for a more comfortable bathroom befitting suite.
2. Website advertised kids eat free. However, when we ordered meals for the kids via room service, we were told it’s not free. Extremely deceptive and off putting of brand.
3. I emailed the hotel 1 week in advance of 4-day stay and asked for milk, orange juice, and water in room stocked and included room mini fridge. Email from customer service acknowledged request and even confirmed we still wanted wine and beer - a nice catch! However, when we arrived, we were informed juice and milk not included. False service promise should’ve not been made.
Room service food was Not worth price (pizza, burger, and kids chicken meal were only ok but far more expensive than eaterery options all around).
6.3 Good
Pros: Bedding was nice and large superking bed
Cons: Didn’t think it was value for money at all over priced travel lodge
9.6 Excellent
Pros: Location was fantastic, right on the Royal mile, plenty of food and drink options within minutes of the hotel. Fantastic facilities at the hotel like the gym and pool, nice large lobby too. Restaurant and Bar were great, plenty of options for breakfast too!
Cons: I honestly can't think of anything that would have made the stay better, I think the only thing was that one of the USB sockets for phone charging wasn't working, but there was 2 others in the room anyway so it wasn't a problem!
9.2 Excellent
Pros: The location is great for tourism. Everything you would want to see (except country side) is within walking distance. Staff is courteous and helpful.
Cons: The breakfast spread needs improvement. The breakfast area is also small and it takes time to have something as you have to make orders for even simple things such as boiled eggs etc. Here I see a room for improvement. Cost on a bit higher side. So, overall it has to balance a bit to make it truly value for money hotel.

Pros: Big comfortable room. Modern and easily accessible. No stairs to climb as in some of the older buildings.

Pros: Comfy beds, lovely rooms v quiet, asked to keep room an extra hour by phone, they wanted to charge £10, asked in person in reception and no charge... if I’d had to pay for 11-12pm I’d have done it but prob not visited again, as he said he’d waive it then I am v happy to come again, ask yourselves if this 10 charge is worth it for just first hour...

Pros: A beautiful looking old heritage building right at the waverly station. Clean bathroom,complimentary chocolates on arrival, welcome drink.
Cons: No A/c. We were told that they don’t advertise air conditioning. None of the three superior rooms forced on to us, didn’t have it either. Glad that an en-suite bathroom was there. Plus the bed was remarkably small. A movement here and there and one would be on the floor.

Pros: Great position. Excellent and lovely design of rooms.

Pros: The location was perfect. I could walk to Waverley Station and take the train almost every where I wanted to go in Scotland. The Adagio is on the Royal Mile so there are restaurants, pubs and many shops. I chose a studio apartment and asked for a quiet location. My apartment was exactly that. The studio was smaller than I expected but I was traveling alone and was not in the apartment a lot. If my husband had been with me it would have been too small. The kitchen was great for how I wanted to use it, which was to make coffee and make lunch. The refrig was a very descent size and there was a dishwasher, microwave, cabinets and dishesSince. I was there for 15 days having the laundry downstairs was very helpful. Some other reviews have noted that the beds were hard. Yes it was compared to my bed at home but after a couple of nights I got used to it. The staff was great, friendly and helpful and always tried to assist me with recommendations and directions.

Cons: I would have liked a small sofa or chair to sit and read or watch TV. I had to sit on the bed if I wanted anything but a hard chair. The bed is a Murphy type and I think it could be put up and maybe make a sofa but at 5’2” there was no way I was going to reach it to pull it back down. The kitchen cabinets were also too high for me to reach the top shelves without a step stool. I was there 15 nights so I qualified for weekly cleaning. They did a very good job except that I thought the bathroom floors could have been cleaner.

Cons: My sister and I were staying to celebrate our birthdays, we accidentally left an unopened bottle of Prosecco in our fridge (which was gifted to us for our birthdays) and I called two hours after check out to be told that the room will have been clean and emptied and that the bottle would have been binned basically. I was really disappointed especially with the attitude of the member of staff that I spoke to. If I had left a piece of clothing or another item of my luggage would that have been put in the bin too? We had a great stay despite this but this was quite disappointing.

Cons: Wasn't so enamoured with teenage street drinkers under bridge outside hotel on Sunday afternoon kicking off with each other ! Along with the street beggars it doesn't reflect well on Edinburgh as a tourist destination .Last visited Edinburgh 1990 and it was not like that then ,but then again my home city has deteriorated since then . The hotel bar could maybe be a bit more extensive , as most pubs have restrictions regarding under 18's but would recommend The Tolbooth Tavern on Canongate as Child Friendly until 10pm .

Pros: The breakfast was a good standard but the coffee and tea luke warm. I understand health and safety issues with children but there's nothing like a hot cup of tea!
Cons: I asked for some balloons and a birthday card to be in the room when we arrived for my mother who was 75 and is was her birthday. What I didn't expect was two half blown up balloons and an WITH SYMPATHY card. I saw the irony but my mother didn't and was upset. I would have been happy to pay for the arrangement. A sympathy card was very poor taste and upsetting for my mother whose choice it was to stay at the holiday as she always raves about them. Poor show. Also there was a fire drill that we didn't see the sign for which damn near did finish off my mother in which case the card would have been appropriate.

Pros: We rented a 2 BR 2 BA apartment for 3 people. We enjoyed our stay in a very comfortable, roomy and clean apartment. We liked having a place to come back to each night to sit and relax. Beds were comfortable and all rooms were spacious. We did not use the kitchen, but it was well supplied for cooking meals. The location was in a quieter area, which was nice and within easy walking distance to the start of the Royal Mile. Desk staff were very accommodating, holding our luggage until we could check in, arranging for taxis on a couple of occasions and very responsive to a couple of minor issues in the apartment. We all highly recommend a stay at Holyrood Aparthotel for your stay in Edinburgh.

7.5 Good
Pros: Excellent breakfast. Variety and quality of products
Cons: I didnt particularly like the reception area. The space is not large and They have like a long comunal table where people was having tea with family/children so the area looked really crowdy, messy, noisy and you could hardly see the check in desk...
10.0 Excellent
Pros: We booked a Skyline room, which had fantastic views, and was exceptionally large. The room was comfortable and very spacious. Check in and out was very smooth and the staff very helpful. The hotel is very central and great for The Royal Mile.
Cons: The Breakfast although fine, did not have as much choice as I would have expected for such a great hotel. The staff were however very attentive and friendly.
9.0 Excellent
Pros: Hotel is in a great location, the staff is great and the property is very well maintained. And the jars of candy at the reception area were a nice daily bonus! Our room had a great view of the city. The bar is fun on weekends.
Cons: Rooms have almost no drawer or shelf space. There is adequate hanging room, but plan to live out of your suitcase.

Pros: Rooms were lovely and beds very comfy. Bathroom very modern and shower was amazing.
Cons: Requested an iron in the room prior to arrival but it wasn't there.
The heating came on at 6am and was very noisy. This woke my partner and I up and we couldn't get back to sleep with the noise.
The tea/coffee machine in the room did not work.
Left my straighteners behind in the room but when I contacted the hotel to enquire about this they said they checked and they were not there. That is a mystery to me.

Staff fantastic and welcoming. The concierge Donald friendly chap knows Edinburgh like the back of his hand and all its history.I’d go to him for everything. Logan great on reception and the restaurant manager she was so accommodating and the bar guys were chatty and welcoming .. Best service I’d say I’ve had out of all the Edinburgh hotel stays to date. These guys make that hotel . Well stocked bar Food thoroughly enjoyed. Worth the money paid. Would recommend to any business traveller or tourist visiting the Scottish capital.

Pros: Location
Cons: I could not eat the breakfast beans were literally cold beans not even luke warm and food was not as detailed in the menu. Also breakfast was spread out over a bar surely a hotel that size should have a proper breakfast area ? I would not stay there again very very poor eating facilities
8.3 Excellent
Pros: Quiet location. Near Parliament, Arthur's Seat and Holyrood house. Good Spa & pool. Very comfortabl;e room.
Cons: Quite a walk uphill, up the Royal Mile to town centre. Breakfast very crowded when there were bus tour guests in residence, kitchen could not cope with peak demand for fried eggs. Loaf of bread took 10 minutes to be found! In Bedroom sad request to leave winow shut tight to keep aircon in [although it only opened 2 inches anyway]

Cons: Air con in rooms need looking at. Breakfast service on morning two very, very slow..the restaurant needs more staff when hotel at full capacity surely? Hotel owners need to look at this or just pitch in themselves and help. Menu the lunch one have a little more variety it’s burgers and sandwiches need more choice.

5.0 Okay
Pros: Pet friendly
Cons: The room we were allocated with a baby and dog despite special request was not at all appropriate or what we'd requested. We agreed to move to special assistance room, the only other available room despite checking in at 3pm which was larger but still open plan which meant my partner and I had to sit in the dark once the baby slept. Again not what we'd booked or requested. We were told we would be moved to one bedroom apartment the next night. Hotels like this seriously underestimate the rigmoural of having to pack up after a nights stay when travelling with a baby. We wasted probably 3 hrs of our short stay in Edinburgh due to not being allocated appropriate room in the first place. The room 209 we were then moved to was noisy and cold. The room also needed TLC - shower screen didn't hang over the bath properly, kitchen cupboards were loose. Both the bedroom room and living room windows were next to "the new steps" - busy thorough through from Edinburgh train station to old Edinburgh and royal mile with people coming and going throughout the early hours. Our baby woke several times in the night as a result. We then had a wake up call at 7am which we hadn't ordered! We were warned filming outside meant breakfast would be plated in the fridge in rooms. Probably the least appetising breakfast I've woken up to in a while. No butter, jams or spread provided or any fresh tea coffee being offered in the main lobby by the hotel. Whilst we were provided a cot, highchair as requested and the accomodation was dog friendly (we brought our 4 year old cockapoo with us) I was extremely upset with the whole experience. Establishments purporting to operate at a 4* level should be doing a lot better than this. It's the worst place I've stayed in with my young family and did not meet expectations whatsoever.

Cons: The premises were disappointingly run down. I stayed there on my honeymoon 3 years ago and came back because I loved it then . It has deteriorated since then . My bathroom basin drain was totally blocked . Cleared it my self in frustration by removing the drain pipes. Was frustrated that when booking a few days before, we were not warned that there was a movie being filmed and access to the premises might be difficult . After traveling nonstop go 30 hrs from New Zealand, it took just over an he to get through the cordon and into the premises. No compensation was offered .

Pros: Absolutely brilliant property and signature Hilton service. Perfect location right at the Royal Mile
Cons: Two things 1. The parking is actually in Edinburgh Waverley Train Station which is a bit of a walk if you have heavy luggage. This should have been clearly mentioned. Also, the hotel validation of the overnight parking took off just 3 GBP of the total parking fee. Could have been better. 2. The lounge staff weren’t exactly cheerful around 10:30 PM. I can understand it’s late but it costs nothing to wear a smile while handing over the drink the customer paid for. A bit weird point since the reception and restaurant staff were amazing, as I would expect from Hilton.

7.5 Good
Pros: The bed was very comfy
Cons: For the money we paid to stay here I expected a bit more, it was basic nothing special about the room, we have stayed in a premier in and the room we stayed in was just like one of theirs, the shower had lots of mould all around the bottom where it’s sealed and all up the wall, and at least two of the floor tiles where loose they moved when you stood on them and you could see one of them was lifted before you even stood on it, definitely needs fixing. It’s a good idea to bring all your own body wash and things like that you get tiny bottles of shampoo etc and it really is only enough for two showers, no slippers or dressing gowns, you should have slippers at least as the bathroom is tiled and cold on your feet

Pros: Excellent location, very clean, great design incorporating the old building walls. Very clear instructions on how to reach the apartment. Highly recommended!
Cons: There was nothing wrong with the accommodation. The only thing to pay attention to is the spiraled staircase to the 4th floor which can be quite difficult in case you have bulky luggage.

3.3 Mediocre
Pros:
Cons: This was our worst hotel experience ever. The hotel has been shown on the website as being a five star accommodation. The price (1.419 GBP for 5 nights) seemed therefore good and had to be payed in advance. Usually not a problem - we only had good experiences with booking.com and their partner hotels in the past. However, the room that we were given upon arrival was unacceptable: first floor window facing the backyard with a bar, noisy, dark, worn out furniture and bath room fittings, wall paper coming from the wall, dirty, torn curtains, WiFi not working properly - an unacceptable accomodation! There is no reception but there was also nobody available by phone in the five hours after our arrival when we tried to find an alternative. As we were not willing to stay in that dark and dirty room, we decided to leave after five hours waiting for a reply from the hotel. We hope that booking.com helps us to fight such unacceptable conditions and supports us in getting our money back.
5.4 Okay
Pros: Great location!
Cons: Our room was up four flights of stairs of a circular staircase which difficult with luggage so pack light! This is really an apartment with no staff on premises. Our room was hot and only had one windows so while it was comfortable outside, it was hot inside. The pillows were terrible and we asked for an extra pillow and a fan and were denied. BUYER BEWARE
10.0 Excellent
Pros: The place is in the middle of everything, you can walk around the city or go to Edinburgh castle
Cons: We stay at 4th fl with 29” and 26” of the luggage, if anyone has a big luggage you need to prepare yourself to carry the luggage to 4th fl.
4.8 Okay
Pros: If you like being in the middle of the tourist trap it is perfect.
Cons: They are not up front about several things. First there is no one at the place to handle problems. No desk, no phone number. Just email. Second, the only way to get in is by a terrible spiral stone staircase, so it is very hard to get large suitcases up. Third, when I made the reservation they immediately charged me and sent an email that I would be on the fourth floor. I made the reservation months in advance and I asked them to move me to a lower floor. They said they couldn't, but if they could it would cost 10 euros. Very hard to deal with. They also do not provide maid service unless you pay another 17 euros per day! Also no place to leave your luggage because its not a hotel. Finally, I have some serious concerns about the integrity of the apartments. The floors slope and there is serious signs of cracking and sag. At these prices, you are far better booking elsewhere!
4.6 Okay
Pros: The bed
Cons: No storage for ANYTHING No fridge' only a wine cooler that wouldn't go below 20 degrees! Pots under the sink which had a leak so all damp.
3.3 Mediocre
Pros: We liked little about this property. The location was good in general but inconvenient for us considering we were not there for the fringe festival.
Cons: The owners were unresponsive. The property has many health and safety issues including a broken glass window. The instructions say there are stairs and no lift but they don’t mention the terribly steep and narrow old stone staircase with only a rope to hold onto and we were on the fourth floor! The apartment we had was tiny - one small bedroom just big enough for a bed, and a tiny sitting room with one basic futon sofa for seating. Our reservation included a bed for my kids which turned out to be the futon sofa in the sitting room which was unmade when we arrived. There was a sheet provided that the owners should be ashamed by. The ONE sheet provided was as thin as can be and totally worn out with hair on it. The duvet had no cover and had hair on it as well. There was no protector to use under it so essentially my kids slept on a hard and filthy futon. The bathroom is tiny and the shower was decayed where it meets the bottom so the water flowed out while showering. Speaking of showering, there were only a couple hard thin towels supplied. The one good thing about this property is the Wi-fi. There were several codes displayed on the wall and once we found the right one, the signal was strong. I have pictures of the broken window, the sheet, duvet, and staircase and shower will post them here.
4.6 Okay
Pros: Location only
Cons: Poor linen on the bed. Pillows awful and only 2 flat and hard ones. Only 1 towel for 2 people. No tea towels for drying the dishes. Mould in the shower. Dirty ironing cover

We think you'll agree that our location is perfect, but we all know it's what's on the inside that really counts. Our welcoming 24hr bar is stocked with a great selection of Scottish beers and spirits, our fibre Wi-Fi is free and speedy, and we have a beautiful outdoor courtyard for relaxing with a tipple - when the inclement Scottish weather behaves itself. And with a room upgrade option available, you'll certainly enjoy plenty for your money at ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge.

Cons: My singular unfortunate experience was that I asked a front desk employee (very friendly gent) to help call a hire car to get our multiple suitcases to the airport tram... We waited outside for 40 minutes and I finally ended up contacting an Uber. I wish this wonderful guy (who I'm sure had a busy front desk that morning) would have followed through making sure we were able to get to the airport on time. A confluence of events, and I'm sure a rare event.

Cons: Mattress was soft and showing some age.
Some street noise--a tradeoff for the view, and not intrusive with the window and curtains closed after 10 pm.
3.8 Mediocre
Pros:
Cons: The older man at the front desk , with black hair larger statue was rude. We tried to ask him several questions because his information wasn’t clear... he talk down and at us. When you open the door to the room it smelled moldy and dirty, most likely from the carpet being so old, who knows. The bed extremely sunk in throughout the entire middle section , and the pillows were flat & hard, not to mention the decorative pillow was flat like a pancake! Went to find an ice machine and was told to go to the bar when we did the gentleman behind the bar was hesitant to give us 2 cups of ice. The chair in the room must have been from the 60s which is not a problem but it was a toddler size chair. All in all it wouldn’t hurt to get a new mattress, fluffy pillows change them out at least , when asking for ice just give it to us we’re not hurting anything, replace the chair for an adult size and for God sakes redo the nasty infested 20 plus year old carpet! This company makes enough money to put back in for the well being of the clients.

Cons: Reception staff wasn't welcoming. Need to welcome no matter colour, class or creed. The young girl who cleaned our room 404 should be put on reception just from her greeting alone. Room 404 should be stripped out and used as a utility cupboard. Very dark. 1 small window with big cables tied off behind the curtains. I guess because the window faced horrible walls very unpleasant view they didn't expect anyone to see the horrid cables. Seriously!!

Unfortunately on our return from our tour of Scotland we had chosen an internal room. Ok for one night but it was very hot and stuffy with a tiny window between buildings at the back of the hotel. The hotel is in an excellent location. I would highly recommend for touring the city. Book an outside room.

Cons: When I arrived, I was told that I was going to have to change rooms during my three day stay, which is not fair. I had paid just as much as any other person staying at Generator. I asked to get refunded and multiple employees said that I would be able to be refunded for the second two nights, but not the first, which I was fine with. When the manager finally reached out to me, they said I could not be refunded, because they sent me an email informing me of that I needed to change rooms only 24 hours before I arrived to this hostel. I had been traveling for a couple weeks at this point so I didn’t have reliable access to my email and so I never saw it. This is unfair, because I was unable to cancel my stay and receive a refund. I was misinformed by multiple employees and was asked to change rooms, which makes me feel less important than other guests staying at the Generator at the same time even thought I was paying the same amount as them. This was not a good experience with this hostel or the team of employees. I am disappointed that I never received a refund for how misinformed I was. I would not recommend Generator hostels.

Cons: unpersonal but understandable since the hostel is huge and has many rooms
9.2 Excellent

Cons: As a celiac I think they should improve the gluten-free options and take more care about this. There is a luggage room but if you are in the last floor it's not comfortable going to the first floor to leave the bag there, and in the bedroom the lockets can't be closed with a padlocker. But I left my bag in the bedroom as everybody and obviously it's safe.

7.9 Good
Pros: The location was great, it was directly across from the train station.
Cons: I wish they had told me in advance that if my third party did not arrive that evening that they would rebook the bed for the same night. I returned to my room to find someone else's belonging in the third bed without my knowledge and became concerned for my safety because it was a mixed dorm.
4.6 Okay
Pros: Location, nothing else
Cons: The bedsheets are not clean. There are insect poops in the bed. The £4 breakfast is not worth it, there are much better proper breakfast in the area like £5 which is way better than the breakfast in the property.

Pros: Right off the Royal Mile, this hotel couldn't be in a better place. Comfortable, clean rooms with great views.
Funny British ways about electricity - you have to put a hotel key in to a special reader inside the room to turn on the electricity in the room. They really don't want you to leave the lights on when you're not there, I guess.
Perfect spot for our stay.

Cons: We stayed in two different rooms. The second room had a bathroom that needed some work. It was clean, but some towel bars were showing rust, and the tile needed to be re-caulked.

Pros: Convenient location to Royal Mile with lots of history and places to visit
Cons: Needed a bit of TLC
3.1 Mediocre
Pros: The reception area looks swanky but it’s a fur coat and no underwear. Good location for Old and New town
Cons: Room was a time machine from the 90’s
Shower didn’t work because of ‘pressure issues’. The same ‘pressure issues’ also meant the the hot water failed to come out of the taps unless they were fully opened for at least five minutes and then it took a good 15 minutes to fill the shallow bath. The maintenance man said this was always an issue on the third floor particularly in the morning because everyone was using the water.
Husband had to rescue something from under the sagging couch and wish he’d left it there - disgustingly filthy and left us feeling queasy that we’d been in the same room as that level of filth. Probably not been moved since the 90’s...
Relative to other hotels it’s a cheaper option but not cheap enough - I’d have paid a bit more for a consistent hot water supply and a room that had been deep cleaned in the last decade.
