This was the worst place I have ever checked into! Our room was absolutely filthy. Bits of bread under bed, amongst other rubbish. Filthy shower tray with hairs in. Room also had the most horrendous smell which both employees agreed. I could not stay, we checked out and am awaiting refund

Lucky for good staff!
Travelodge Edinburgh was fortunate to have great staff checking us in. She was very helpful offering recommendations and was able to accomodate us 30 minutes before checkin which was great given we had been up since 4am. Sadly everything else other than location let us down. Halls and doorways made it difficult to move to your room with luggage and the room was very small. Room was hot and when windows were open it was noisy from nearby bars, which admittedly is not the fault of the hotel nor is the smell of nearby takeaway food. These things could have been forgotten but for the additional let down of no free wifi, which is not acceptable these days..even backpacker hostels have free wifi! I recommend a taxi to and from hotel as they don’t seem to get parking tickets, we stopped out the front of hotel just to load our luggage into the car which took less than 5 minutes and got a parking ticket even though we were with the car! Thankfully we were excused and given a warning. Even as a budget hotel it is not cheap and needs to do better, we are returning to Edinburgh in a week and staying elsewhere.

We loved this property. It is so central and in excellent location and rooms are huge. Great dining and shopping and its a walkable or short drive to Princess Street and Royal Mile. The paid wifi is bit annoying but overlooked over the fantastic benefits.

You know what you're getting with a travel lodge and this didn't disappoint. Very clean and comfortable. Had a room at the back of the hotel and was woken at 5 am most mornings by what sounded like bins being wheeled around. The shower curtain did nothing to stop the bathroom floor being soaked and we had to dry it with our towels.
All that said I would stay there again

Very good location 5 minutes walk from St Andrews Square, 10 minutes from Waverley station and 15 - 20 to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle.
Recently refurbished so in very good condition. Really handy additions like usb charging sockets.
Family room was a good size and had all we needed with tea and coffee and a TV in the room.
Bathroom was clean, plenty of towels, hand wash and bath and shower gel in the bathroom.
A little noise both from outside and within but nothing excessive that bothered us.
A very pleasant stay, staff friendly which made for a very enjoyable trip.

The heat was not working properly and it only goes up to 68 and it was really cool. Also a lot of noise and you have to pay for Wi-Fi. Only get 30 min free a day

The toilet smelled of pee the entire time we were there. The front desk clerk was not very friendly- I had an extremely small duffel bag and was a couple hours early for check in so I asked him to kindly store the bag for me. Instead of assisting me with this he refused to hold this little bag, stating there was no space and instead sent me three blocks down the street to a bus stop to store that little bag. I had a limited time there and felt he was being difficult for no reason. To make matters worse, I had my young son with me and had to drag him down to the station with me. This whole ordeal really put me in a bad mood on our very first day visiting Scotland. To make matters worse, I might have missed the fine print stating that there was no air conditioning in the room so we had to open all the windows and they gave us this tiny, dusty, dirty fan to help circulate air in the room. It was a hot night and we didn’t sleep very well… and who knows how many insects might have crawled into the room overnight as well.

The property is not well marked so ypu need to watch for it. Amenities are very basic and do not included wifi which was surprisinng for the cost of the room. Also, the bathroom floor was not in good shape and the shower had also seen better days.

terrible service ---- always smiling but absolutely no genuine interest and did'nt care .
such a simple request such as room being cleared each morning fresh towels became a problem ---was advised
' instructions ' left in the room but that was present in the room --- reception Kevin the made a face ! next day had no memory of our conversation ---- recommendation AVOID if you are looking for just basic service /good manners
