Stayed at this hotel with 2 friends for the Edinburgh Street Party for Hogmanay and it was brilliant! The staff were friendly, welcoming and very helpful. On a taxi tarrif 4(expensive) it only cost £15 to get from Princes street to the hotel after the party and the bus was only 70p from the doorstep to the centre which was... More

A lovely hotel walking distance to Portobello seaside resort. The owner and his staff were the friendliest I've ever encountered in Edinburgh. They took great care with us and our dog, as they are dog lovers themselves. You can catch the bus right outside the hotel, which takes you to St. Andrew Square in about 20-25 minutes. The restaurant offered... More

We really enjoyed staying at the Robert Burns hotel - the staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and homely. Great location. Nice food. Though I believe the hotel would do well with some refurbishment. Would also do with better ventilation of the kitchen. Over all we enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it, and probably go... More

I went with my teenage daughter and we shared a twin room, we got a cosy attic room and could see the sea from the window. The room was clean and had everything we needed for a few nights stay. We paid just a few pounds more that the cost of a Travelodge and it was so much better! Friendly... More

We stayed at this hotel for two nights and can honestly say that we would never do it again. Aside from its good location near the city centre, the rooms let in the street noise and have carpeted bathrooms (yuk). The management of the hotel is terrible, has no idea as to how a computer works and - worse -... More

My wife and I stayed here on the first leg of our anniversary trip around Scotland. The breakfast was good, the location EXTREMELY convenient and the hosts very helpful. The room itself was a bit small, but that was no problem. We were in Room 1 which DOES have some problems. For one, you're practically behind the front desk down... More
