Clashnessie Beach

This was a great place to stay at the end of our trip. It's located near the tram and you can easily get into the city center. The building is older, but they have done a great job with refurbishing. The room does lack some ventilation, but that is somewhat expected with older buildings. The staff were friendly and nice.

Unfortunately, the worst stay I’ve ever had. The shower was mouldy and covered in grime. When I asked for it to be cleaned, so much bleach was used that I couldn’t stay in my room and had to leave the window and door open to air it out. When I requested a room change, staff were awkward and refused, offering room spray instead! This is the most expensive accommodation I’ve ever paid for, yet the worst experience. There are much better places to stay in Edinburgh. Unfortunately, our usual hotel was fully booked due to this being a last-minute trip. Wouldn’t recommend.

The Scotsman Hotel was very classy. Charming atmosphere. Room was large and comfortable with many amenities. Good location, Royal Mile, Scots Monument, train station, shops and restaurants steps away. Staff very friendly and helpful.
