The property has the potential to be a sort after place to stay as the features of the building are fabulous. The beds are very comfortable. A proper refurbishment is needed.

Comfy hotel

Easy communication. Comfortable spacious bedroom at the top but no lift (surprising with 4 star hotel) and the shower was a little small and could use with some renovation. Otherwise we had a great stay. Location great for walking to city center!

Nice quiet location. Not too far from the city centre and clise to some nice restaurants. Room was big and the little kitchen area was a treat to store some snacks and have the early morning breakfast and coffee. I give it 9/10

Good value

This was good value with a central location and I would stay again as close to my office for work. The room was a decent size. Shower was a bit small but good pressure. The curtains were a bit stained and could do with being replaced, same with sofa. Overall decent experience.

This was a nice place to stay while in Edinburgh. It was nice having a kitchenette which made it convenient for breakfast. Everything worked in the room but it would have been nice to being able to open a window for ventilation as there was no fan. The area around this location is heavy residential but it was beautiful to walk through. The only knock is there is no lift and you have to carry your luggage upstairs. I would definitely stay here again.

Palmerston was perfect for the price and for what we were looking for. We were hardly in our room because we spent the day exploring Edinburgh, so we didn’t need anything more luxurious. The bed was adequately comfortable for resting and the room temperature was fine. It was ten minutes’ walk to the tran and busses. All in all, it was comfortable and perfect for our purposes.

Warm and good value but see comments

The room was warm, and the bed comfortable (though the bottom sheet wasn't big enough for the double bed; I was alone; two people might have been more affected by this). (1) Biggest flaw: NO TABLE/BREAKFAST BAR OR CHAIRS TO EAT FOOD. (In fact no chair at all), though basic cooking facilities (microwave, small hob, kettle, toaster), pans and utensils were provided; nor were there any trays to eat off one's lap. (2) Not suitable for anyone of limited mobility or 'traditional build': the stairs down to my basement room had no rail for part of the way, and the shower and surrounding area were cramped (though the water was nice and hot)

The property is fairly close to bus and tram transportation. It's 2 block walk to the main road that connects directly to Princes street. My main complaint is there is only once accessible outlet in the bedroom. There are outlets you can use in the kitchen which we did. No outlet other than for a shaver connection (not a standard outlet) in the bathroom. Had to use the one outlet available in the bedroom to use the hair dryer (or use the kitchen outlet). With 4 adults and phones, iPad, portable chargers to re-charge, that was an inconvenience. There is no option to purchase any water or snacks in hotel. We were placed on the first floor which was super convenient given our heavy luggage. I don't think there is a lift.

Okay

Good location for getting to the City Center, Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. Room had no eating area. Kitchen was small but that was fine. The lack of anywhere to eat what was presented was a problem. Phones were turned off so if you needed to get the front desk (if attended) you had to go down many steps and then back up the steps. Kitchen items were not uniform - different size plates etc. No dish towels. The curtains were not room darkening. They did provide privacy. A sleeping mask was needed. For the price I am hesitant to recommend.

På værelset er der et lille køkken med to kogeplader, køleskab og mikroovn. Service til to personer og kun det helt basale køkkenudstyr beregnet til lette måltider. God beliggenhed. Ingen elevator så stedet er ikke egnet til dårligt gående. Hotellet er begyndt at være slidt, men har tidligere været et meget pænt hotel.

Problematic for available parking. We stayed twice: at the beginning of our trip and at the last night of our trip. Last night was far better than the first night. The first night’s stay, our auto key door was broken so we were given a key and the door handle was nonexistent. On our first night’s stay, the receptionist did not explain how to use the card for electricity. She wasn’t very helpful nor was she friendly. Upon our last night’s stay, we had a nicer room and our welcome was far friendlier.

Disappointing

Was very disappointed with the condition of our room, as well as the lack of communication when I did send them a message. The location is very good, the bed was very comfortable and it was convenient to have a small kitchen. I appreciated the email for late check in and that was easy. The place is in need of some repairs and proper cleaning. There was a lot of dust/mold in the bathroom vent as well as the fridge vents, the curtains were coming off the rod, the tv remote was absolutely disgusting and the kitchen didn't have enough tools to actually cook much. My communication during our stay on this went unanswered. I wouldn't stay there again because of the above.

The hotel is in a lovely location and close to transportation. It is a beautiful historic building on the outside, but the room desperately needs updating, i.e. curtains, carpet, kitchen, furniture, etc. The weather was warm when we were there and it was suffocating inside, especially since the window didn’t open.
