Excellent and friendly staff. We were able to get a fan to increase the temperature in the room as it was fairly warm. I appreciated that they had an elevator and ramps that made it much easier for my mobility challenged husband than many of the hotels in the UK. They were very helpful in providing directions for various sites and storing our luggage until our train time.

It was a bit warm in the room with little option to regulate the temperature. Otherwise it was great and the staff was exceptional, very accommodating when we needed to store luggage an extra day as we were there one-day on an excursion the next and back the third night.

Lovely hotel, great staff and nice breakfast. Room was clean and beautifully decorated. We stayed for 4 nights and felt very comfy the whole time. Close to buses and the main Prince st. shopping area, a quick walk to the Waverly train station. Would definitely stay here again if we returned to Edinburgh.

the property seemed charming til we got in. I was told both my the property and the travel agent that it was a 'spacious, generous' two twin bed room. It was for myself and my sister - the room was insanely small.. if you opened the closet you would have to get out of your own way as it almost hit the bed. the pillows were so so horrendous.. like rocks.. those are cheap bolsters, they are not pillows. the room was insanely hot and the window could only be open a crack.. the hallways were grubby, and what was worse - was that the front staff were not interested in helping. she was condescending and rude. and ultimately, after hours on the phone, i got nothing except a totally ruined trip. no sleep for two nights, a severe migraine as a result of the horrible beds and pillows. for 550 dollars a night i at least expected to be able to sleep through the night. shame on you expedia and the parliament hotel. and you knew i asked for a refund - you were not able to make me happy as you clearly didn't have the rooms promised, and if your guest isn't able to sleep, and be comfortable , shouldn't you want to just let them leave? what a disappointed.

What made the stay something I would recommend was the lovely lady on reception. I was feeling very stressed as I was bringing my daughter to the uni. It is virtually impossible to find parking to unload a car anywhere and it was all a. It much. She was very kind and gave lots of suggestions and help. The tv was pretty ropey given the price of the room but I forgot to mention it at the time - I was shattered as an inconsiderate guest was hammering on the door next to mine at length at 1.10am which didn’t help my nerves…

Lovely Hotel
It's a lovely hotel, very, very clean and nicely decorated. The bathroom was quite luxurious, loved it. It's not entirely easy to get to (up a steep hill), but the walk is worth it.

Very expensive stay for what I would class as 3 star hotel, our room was very dark hardly any natural light . Staff very friendly and good location. Didn’t stay for breakfast as they want to charge extra for that on an already steep price.

Parliament House is well situated next to Calton Hill, a short walk from the old part of town, next to restaurants and shops. We had dinner at Howie's, right next door on one of our nights there and the food was amazing. The room is spacious, clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff are attentive, polite and well informed. I am definitely staying at Parliament House when I return.

The place was great, close to everything, and the staff was good to us. The not thing that wasn’t desirable was the room was very hot, but I didn’t know how to adjust the heater, nor did I ask the front desk about it, so it wasn’t their fault in the least. When I return to Edinburgh, I will definitely stay there again.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at the Parliament House hotel. Staff were lovely and friendly. Just thought the decor was drab although in good condition but that’s just my personal taste. I would stay here again and would recommend it to family snd friends

Never Again, Old smelly rooms
Old smelly rooms, small horrible quality towels with holes in the hand and face towels Extremely uncomfortable pillows, seemed like they were made of poured concrete I was at this hotel, thankfully for one night only, could not sleep because of the discomfort, had an early morning flight to catch and was totally un rested Will never book this place unless they do a major upgrade and provide quality stuff
