Room Type: Deluxe Family Room We stayed in a Deluxe Family Room at Hanover Suites 71 in Edinburgh. The location was excellent — right in the heart of the city and ideal for exploring all the main sights. The apartment was clean and generally comfortable, which we appreciated after a busy day of sightseeing. However, there were a couple of downsides. The room wasn’t made up for four guests on arrival, so we had to make up our own beds, which was disappointing after a long journey. Additionally, the second room booked was much smaller than the main one, yet both rooms were priced the same, which didn’t feel quite fair. Overall, a good stay in a great location, but some small details could be improved to make it a better value for money.

The downstairs of the property is under construction, so it was noisy and dusty. However, the property is close to everything. We were out daily, so the construction didn’t bother us that much.
Bathroom is big and bright.

Location was wonderful - very close Waverly/Royal Mile and is also surrounded by lots of more quiet (and excellent) restaurants and pubs. I had probably the best Italian meal right downstairs! Also - the showers are wonderful! Possibly the best in the UK! No bathtub, but a fully enclosed stall with serious water pressure!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was the worst hotel. No warning that the entire downstairs is being reconstructed. Description included a restaurant, but there was none. Not even a vending machine. No one was there to check me in. The door was locked and a housekeepe- we didn’t have a common language- seemed confused by my arrival. My daughter found a note from the staff giving me Code for all the door locks. We then had to bring our luggage up 2 flights of spiral stairs in the heat. The carpet was filthy. The room had air conditioning that wasn’t working. I was told I could get my parking validated for. Reduced rate and the lady who opened the door gave me one that didn’t work for day one, and then I never saw staff again to get one for the second day or to ask why the validation for the first day did t work at the car park they told me to use. It was awful. Would not recommend.

Being from the states I would never had booked this hotel in June knowing it had no air. When we arrived at 3:30pm no one knew where are room was. The started to scramble around. They finally said they had a room for us. But it was on the second floor. No lifts which is normal for older buildings but they had no one to carry the bags up for us. We had three big bags and my husband has a lung disease and it’s hard enough for him to walk up stairs let alone with bags. But the stairs are not regular stairs its a spiral stair case with narrow steps. The room was nice but you do get a lot of noise coming from the bar downstairs. All through the night you hear lots of bottles being put in trash. I will say the owner did bring us fans and that definitely helped. When we came the temperature was the hottest they had seen in awhile also. And you do get to smell the cafe aroma all day. But if you need someone they are available only from 9-5pm.

I don't even know what that was....

We are starting to wonder if we were inadvertently squatting at an closed property. Lol. A painter let us in. There was no clerk present. The property was under construction. The bathtub leaked everywhere and the jets would randomly come on after being turned off for 45 mins. The floor was warped and unstable. The foyer lights in the room turned off and on by themselves during the night. It was decently clean but the bed was absolutely wretched - our backs hurt for 2 days. It was like sleeping on thinly padded cardboard.

Great spot! Check-in was a bit rough; I didn't have service, so I didn't get the email about self-check-in, and when I did get the info it led to an occupied room. We got it sorted shortly and onward was a great, comfy spot.

Super séjour, malgré les barrières de la langue ! L accueil était vraiment chaleureux, nous n avons pas eu le temps de goûter à la cuisine mais aux alentours il y a pas mal de restauration et nous étions là surtout pour visiter la ville mais nous recommandons l hôtel, petit bémol, avec la poussette et sans ascenseur c’était assez compliqué surtout qu’il n’y a pas de parking ou alors les places sont extrêmement chère donc si nous n avions pas la voiture pour laisser la poussette dedans ça aurais été compliqué. À penser si il y a des enfants en bas âge.
