Great budget hotel
This hotel has some very unfair reviews, its a BUDGET hotel and as such I have reviewed it as that. Its a little dated and the checkin wasn't particularly welcoming but it was clean and tidy and my room had everything I needed. For £60 for the night for a twin room it was perfect. Bathroom clean and shower/bath good water pressure with plenty of hot water. Excellent proximity to the city centre

Ok for a base for one night.
Good parking available for £7.50 for 24 hours, for Edinburgh I suppose is ok.
Staff friendly. Three lifts to above ground levels. Room ok looked clean and tidy but there were various marked around the walls and skirtings, bath panel coming off and flooring in bathroom coming away from the walls.
With this all said it was ok for a one night stay and yes I would stay again for a night if I needed to.

Britannia Hotel- Edinburgh
Quick check-in/check out service, staff were pleasant. Room was clean, good bathroom utilities however there was a draft from the window. Great storage for clothes and a large mirror for getting ready. Definitely would reccomend- affordable and decent quality. It was also a short 5 minute walk from the Dean Village which was stunning to walk around, and not too far from the centre.

I recently stayed at Britannia and had a mixed experience. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made my stay more pleasant. However, the room is quite old and needs renovating.

Serene environment. Reception was professional. However, room service was not provided maybe because it was booked online… not sure really but I was a little disappointed that room service was not provided.

The Brittania is in easy walking distance for the city centre and shopping, we walked it in 10 minutes. Hotel and facilities are clean and staff are always on reception for any queries. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the bed was amazing, had a great night's sleep. Have been to this hotel before and they kindly gave us the same room on our request, I recommend The Brittania at every visit to Edinburgh

The shinning
The rooms are extremely dates amd walling through the halls was giving the shining vibes.
The room smelt very old and mouldy.
Bathroom wasnt very clean.
Couldnt even have a shower for our night out or in the morning as there was no hot water. Paid £89 for the night and tbh we would have been better booking a hostel.
Front of desk were nice and friendly though being the only good thing about or stay there.
Only giving one pillow also which are horrendous
