The Lodge Edinburgh

Older style building converted into a lodge. Quaint styling located close to bus stops into downtown or 15 minute walk. Rooms are a bit small compared to North American hotels but the classic design makes up for it. Breakfast is made daily. Joe, who serves the meals and works the front desk is just a solid, nice guy who will do what he can to take care care of the guests.

Stay was nice here! The front desk people are friendly and communicative. My friend and I arrived late past the check in time (they do close around 6:00!) but they have lock boxes where you can access your key after hours and communicated that through an email. The rooms are not big, at least the one double bed suite is not. However, they are nicely kept and clean - just what my friend and I needed for a 1 night stay. The only thing I would say was not pleasant is the bathroom hardly ventilates. Beware - After a shower, everything in the bathroom is wet and damp and it will stay like that. Other than that, for the price, it’s acceptable and about a 15 minute walk from the Edinburgh castle. They also hold your bags for free until 5:00 on a check out day which was appreciated since my friend and I wanted to explore the town before catching a flight!

Definitely five star. I have stayed at dozen of hotels in Edinburgh. This was on the top of the list of best stays ever. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Staff was very hospitable and there for every need of mine. Thank you so much. I would definitely come back again and I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Edinburgh!

Room was booked last minute as we were disappointed with our first choice of hotel. The welcome was lovely aswas the room. It was my wifes birthday and we stayed in their quad room which was huge, comfortable and warm. The bathroom was clean with a power shower. Opted for Scottish breakfast on the first morning which was very filling. Overall it's a great place to stay within walking distance from the city centre and the local pub was very cheap and inviting. Would definitely stay again.
