#8 of 9 hotels in Old Town by Axel's take. Old Town is #2 of 7 places to stay in Edinburgh. The best hotels in Old Town, ranked · Where to stay in Edinburgh

Axel's take: 8.0/10

A practical Old Town base, with friendly staff but compromises on quiet and space. a no-frills 3-star in Edinburgh’s Old Town, scored for what it is.

This no-frills 3-star is a strong pick for exploring Edinburgh on foot rather than spending much time in your room. The Royal Mile and National Museum are close by, and Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the helpful staff. Cleanliness earns broadly positive feedback, while the breakfast buffet, bar and outdoor courtyard add useful comforts to a straightforward city base.

The trade-off is the room experience: compact layouts, pod-style bathrooms and some tired fittings attract criticism. Recent guests also report street, nightclub and door noise, although others describe quiet stays. Request a quiet room, but don’t treat that as a guarantee. We’d choose it for a short sightseeing break; light sleepers and travelers wanting spacious rooms or boutique character should look elsewhere.

  • Best for: short sightseeing breaks; travelers exploring on foot; guests happy with simple chain-hotel rooms

  • Watch out for: street, nightclub and corridor noise; compact rooms and pod-style bathrooms; some tired fittings

  • Location: Excellent Old Town position near the Royal Mile, National Museum and Waverley station.

  • Rooms: Simple and compact; recent feedback flags unusual bathrooms, maintenance niggles and variable quiet.

  • Cleanliness: Generally praised, including in recent Expedia reviews, with some housekeeping lapses reported.

  • Service: Friendly, helpful reception staff are a consistent strength across Tripadvisor, Expedia and Accor reviews.

  • Amenities: Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, restaurant, bar, courtyard and buffet breakfast cover the practical basics.

  • Fees and surprises: Breakfast may cost extra; pets incur a supplement, and parking is paid public parking nearby, not on-site.
