Great value in good location!”
We just returned from our trip to Scotland, and stayed at the Cairn Hotel the first two nights and the last night of our trip. We were pleasantly surprised at the comforts of this 3-star hotel and found it to be a very good value. The hotel is reasonably close to the train station and center of town, if you don't mind a short walk (otherwise it is a short taxi ride). The lobby is not impressive and the reception area made me think more of a hostel than a hotel, but the rooms are recently renovated, modern, clean, and comfortable. Toiletries, a fan, a hair dryer, bottled water, and snacks are provided. The hotel was nice and quiet for a good night's sleep. The hotel will hold suitcases/bags for £1 a bag after the 11 am check-out.

Fantastic location, great hotel!!”
We stayed here for 3 nights during Hogmanay and when searching for hotels this was cheaper by almost £200...this led me to be a little sceptical prior to arrival but turns out I had nothing to worry about! The location is ideal, less than a 5 minute walk onto Princes Street, albeit uphill (but that makes the walk back after a few drinks much better!) The rooms were clean, well equipped and the beds were comfy. Staff were really helpful and informative too. The only slight downside is the hotel car park, it's very tight so if you have a big car, get there early!! However we only had to use this for one day as the on street parking was free over the weekend, a huge bonus!! I would 100% stay here again and recommend to friends and family!!

Excellent stay in Edinburgh”
This one is an excellent budget hotel, with cozy beds and clean rooms. They do offer breakfast at a small price, I didn't have it though. Upon check-in they provide a bucket of goodies, including Biscuits, plenty of instant coffee mix, hot chocolate mix, potato chips/crisps, one bottle of water and one bottle of soda/sparkling water. The staff is well behaved, professional and helpful. I stayed there for two nights, had excellent sleep at night. I recommend it for your stay with family.

Lovely and Simple Hotel”
I booked a Single Room and it is just perfect to my liking and travel purpose. The place has a charming vibe, simple yet elegant. I liked it the moment I entered the hotel. There is a fire place at the lobby where you can hang out and chill. The room is small yet nicely planned to make it functional. They have snacks, blower and toiletries available. Staffs are really helpful. Location is super near the city center and there are bus stops that take you anywhere. There is also a convenient store nearby. So for a solo traveler like me, it addressed all I need. It's worth it and if ever I come back, I will book again. 👍

Overnight stay”
We decided on last minute overnight stay in Edinburgh and thought for the price of the hotel it will be basic but it certainly wasn’t. The room was large, spotless and airy. The bathroom was amazing , clean, modern and big , the location perfect, walking distance to all the hustle and bustle yet being on a side street there was no noise at all. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone

Warm place for a cold city”
The location of the hotel is a bit of a walk from the main train station. For travellers with big luggages, cab will be the best option. Room is very comfortable, cosy and clean. Hotel does not have a lift, travellers with big and or multiple bags should request for ground level rooms. No laundry services and food services (other than breakfast) in the hotel, the nearest being a walk away. Hotel has a left-luggage option and are helpful in booking cabs to airport. Good pit-stop for travelling around Edinburgh and the highlands.

Comfy place close to the town ”
It’s close to supermarket , laundry and town. Just 5-10 mins walk. The buffer breakfast is value for money. And the Italian food nearby offering good price and is tasty. I’ll return to this hotel if coming to Edinburgh again

It is a perfect location and value for money.”
The hotel is 10min walk from Edinburgh Waverly Station and there are buses just outside the hotel that takes u to Portobello Beach and Harlaw Reservoir. The room has a very comfortable and big bed. There is also a TV and the toilet is clean and spacious and pretty. The only downside is that there is no lift, so we have to carry our heavy luggages down the stairs after check in but this is the same everywhere else for this price tag.

Cairn review”
The staff was great and very helpful, especially Tomas. We received an upgrade our first night which spoiled us. Second room was very good. No lifts made it hard to lugs heavy suitcases but otherwise excellent hotel. No A/C but it was unusually hot.

The only con (not much of a con) is the room was a bit too hot. Everything else was great. Location, staff and cleanliness couldn't be faulted.
