Great place to stay, not too far from the main tourist areas so you can easily walk, parking is expensive but it is everywhere in Edinburgh, the staff were nice and helpful and the rooms are a great size
The property is in a great location , we had an issue with our room that was rectified right away . The night person was awesome and friendly he was new and didn’t know the protocol asked us to check with the manager in the morning. She got a little defensive about it . Given the age of the building it is to be expected to have some quirks may I suggest new caulking around the tubs , check the tv reception in the rooms provide an avail channel guide , if you are booking and want to avoid 70 steep steps to your room request a mid level or lower floor to save the legs . Overall we had a pleasant stay .
Room was clean and cute, staff were nice and never any fuss. Nice quiet location with regular and close by trams, trains and buses to anywhere you need to get to in the city.
A nice piece of heritage property that is so convenient for transportation and dining, and walking to Dean Village. Well worth the value compared to other properties around. Getting breakfast thrown in was a pleasant surprise. Wifi was a bit unstable where I was on the top floor and TV could be bigger.

Good location. Comfortable bed and pillows. Quiet rooms. Had some free pastries and hot drinks by the reception. Downside is the weak flushing of the toilet and water can get too hot in the tap and the hot and cold faucet are separate so you cannot mixed them to control the temperature.

Great location.
We loved the location, great access to the downtown area. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel and rooms very clean with nice big towels but the hotel is due for an upgrade. We founds the beds to hard.
It was perfect for what we needed, which was a clean place to stay and the tram line was very close. The location was a little ways from old town, but it was walkable or we could take the tram to get closer. There were some good restaurants and bars close by.
Enjoyable stay at Eliza House, Edinburgh. Friendly staff, located close to Edinburgh, Haymarket station.

We loved the convenience of the location steps from Haymarket train station, yet felt safe and had everything we needed within walking distance. Staff were great. Our room was clean, comfortable and huge, and we felt it was good value for our budget. This is a heritage spot so don’t expect perfection in the details, but we loved the price, location, and clean comfy room.
Easy, amenable interactions with staff. Clean room, well serviced. Great location in the city.

A nice hotel in a building with a lot of character. I liked the retro feel of the bedrooms but can see why other may say it's dated. It does have a lot of stairs and no elevator (as advertised) but this was not an issue for us. Staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The location is good at about 20mins walk to the Scott monument or Grassmarket.
The good: quiet, comfortable, friendly and close to the tram system. I felt safe and comfortable.
They are not kidding about the stairs! There are a lot of them!
Eliza House is lovely. It’s a short walk from the tram and train and there are plenty of restaurants, pubs and shops in the neighborhood. This was our second time here and we would recommend it to everyone. It is also easily walkable to the Royal Mile and the Castle.
