If you book through expedia you do not get to see clear photos of the general condition of this hotel ( i use the word hotel very loosely, better word hostel or bedsit ) The person on site was not helpful nor was there website. This was not value for money nor was it a pleasure. To sum up i felt like we we're on the set for rising damp

It was a lovely old home that needed a wee bit of repair. The floor in our toilet was cracked and smelled of urine around the toilet. However the bed was clean and very comfortable and staff was very nice.

Basic hotel to explore Edinburgh on a budget

I stayed at Edinburghhouse hotel as a bed for the night following completion of my walking holiday from Glasgow. My check-in was smooth and my room was basic, but clean and comfortable. The shower had clearly been replaced recently and was modern. The WiFi did not work, but this may have been due to my iPad not liking the security setting of the router. The local area of Leith Walk has a massive array of pubs, cafes and restaurants to explore; important as there are no catering facilities in the building. For the ~14 hrs I spent here, this was much cheaper than staying in more "luxury" in the centre.

Okay so I read the online reviews for this hotel after I booked, and got really freaked out. But the hotel actually is fine. It's not luxury but it's a perfectly nice hotel. My room was huge (I could have fitted another double bed in there, easily) and was spotlessly clean. The carpet looked brand new. The bathroom was clean. The windows had huge wooden shutters which completely blocked out light which for me is a huge plus. The housekeeping was a tiny bit inconsistent - one morning I left damp towels on a chair and housekeeping just left them there. I did get new towels the next day. The guy on reception was friendly. Location is pretty good. There's a bus stop right outside, the tram 5 minutes away, and Central Edinburgh is about half an hour walk. There are lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. I found the property to be quiet. My room was right next to the front door so there was sometimes a bit of noise of people coming in, but I didn't hear any music or anything like that.

The location is good and the properly is clean. Most of the staff is friendly but the manager is rude, we asked to switch rooms because of the noise (the walls are super thin and you can hear everything) and he said no because we had already sat down on the bed and he would basically lose money to change us to a different room (we were in that room for 5min, didn’t unpack and we just sat down on the bed).

Cheap option near central Edinburgh

This was a transit stop for me and the cheapest I could find near Edinburgh Waverley Station. I had a small single room with Skylight window only, Shower in the room and separate ensuite toilet and hand basin. Room was very clean, and tea making facilities provided. Water pressure was good and Wifi also okay. TV reception not so good for ITV. No Elevator. Longish walk from the station but felt safe at 9.30pm. I would definitely stay again.
