Bare-bones hotel that makes sense if you’re going to be in town (Edinburgh) briefly. Or you really only care about having a decent bed for sleeping at night. It’s located in an ok neighborhood, safe enough, about 15 minutes driving from the Edinburgh Castle. Room was large (about 40m2, for 3 people), bathroom small but renovated and fully functional. No breakfast, no concierge, no nothing: just room, bath and bed. Mattress was a bit hard for my taste, and the pillow too thin. But I still slept quite ok, in part helped by the quietness of the neighborhood. Bottom line, it’s an ok choice if you understand what you are getting into. Don’t expect to get a super deal.

The Adelphi is a clean, low budget stay, and the low cost made the trip to Edinburgh possible. It’s an easy bus ride into downtown, but the long walk along the river into town was lovely and easily navigated, too.

Good value for money

The room was cosy and clean and had all the things I needed for a brief stay; hairdryer, towels, en suite, a kettle for tea and coffee, a tv. The hotelmanager and chambermaid were friendly too. Only one thing, there was this lingering smell of sewage in the room, which I didn't report.

Clean and All good !

This isn’t the Ritz, the whole city was sold out so we started at the Adelphi and we’re pleasantly surprised. It’s tired and old but the rooms were refreshingly very clean and everything worked fine. Staff were helpful and allowed a bag drop prior to check in. A every simple stay. Nothing negative to say at all and I’d stay again if the whole city was sold out again

Great price for large room

Property was very helpful with parking and eating establishments as we arrived after most eateries had closed. Good price for a large room with multiple beds, love seat, private bath, and loveseat. Minutes from downtown area across from a park. Be aware Hotels.com advertising as free parking and this is not true! Property owner has requested correction many times but sure will not update listing. Just ask where to park when making a booking.

Helpful service crew

Thanks for the help to keep our luggage before 3pm check-in & also with calling a taxi upon departure. Much appreciated. Anyway, we accidentally left behind 2 new luggage protectors under the bed due to the dim conditions under the bed extra space for luggage. Please keep them for your own good use. Don’t get them wasted. Thanks again, management & service crew (housekeeper & male receptionist - both are friendly & helpful). We would go back again 1 day if the rate is still justifiable in the future.

Love this hotel, the owner is a lovely helpful guy and very welcoming.. We stayed in the family room which was fantastic and spacious.. The only down side to this hotel (which is nothing at all to do with the hotel) is Edinburgh council have introduced parking restrictions and charges in most streets which are around £3.10 per hour in the designated bays, it is not clear and evident on how or where to pay for these charges, they run Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5:30pm .The hotel used to be able to offer free parking. If you need a hotel that is easy to find, great for the surrounding area of Leith , comfortable clean rooms, has good transport links (bus/team) into Edinburgh city centre in twelve minutes, the bus stop is right outside the hotel and the team stop is about a 3 minute walk away.. Then this is the place for you.. Were We will definitely be booking again when we are next up in Edinburgh

Beyond the Fringe !

We were there for 5 days. Good and bad points, first on arrival there was no parking (advertised as free), when we found parking it was expensive. The location is fine, nearto buses and trams. I wouldn't classify this as a Hotel, more serviced rooms with very limited facilities - i.e no drawers anywhere to put clothes and very limited hanging space, no fridge etc, 2 of us shared the one chair between us. No breakfasts were available and there is no bar or communal area. The shower was excellent, but our view looked over a builders yard whereas the front rooms of the hotel overlooked the park. Budget hotel ? yes if your budget can afford it but I thought quite expensive for what you get -(I stayed in hotels 30 or so times a year before lockdown) We went out everyday so we didnt use the room much - its ideal for a short stay if you are not too fussy but i wouldn't recommend any longer
