New Town Hotel

One thing to know before booking: the hotel asks for a £100 deposit at check-in, but that wasn’t mentioned during booking. It would be helpful to make that clearer, since the unexpected cost could cause problems for some guests. The old listed building has no lift, and the building’s limitations affect soundproofing between rooms and floors. Neither spoiled my visit, though the stairs could be an issue for anyone with mobility needs. My room was clean, spacious, comfortable, and well equipped with toiletries, tea and coffee, a robe, and an iron and ironing board. Breakfast was nice, staff were friendly and helpful, and it’s a perfect location for the city centre. I’d recommend it and would book again.

The hotel is clean and well maintained, and it was useful to have an iron and ironing board. Getting around was easy: St Andrews tram station is a five-minute walk away, the railway station is roughly 10-12 minutes on foot, and Princes Street is about 10-15 minutes away. Service was excellent, and Maria and ellie were especially kind, welcoming, and helpful. The rest of the staff were pleasant and friendly too. My husband and I enjoyed our two-day stay at the New Town Hotel in Edinburgh. Breakfast was okay, though I would have liked more variety. The only small downside was that there’s no lift, so the stairs got a bit tiring. I had a very comfortable stay and would recommend the hotel for its location, service, and clean rooms.

We had afternoon tea for two at the Newtown House Hotel yesterday, and there were actually three of us sharing. That wasn’t a problem, and we just paid for an extra coffee. There was so much food that we couldn’t finish it all and took some cakes home. Everything was plentiful and delicious. The hotel has been completely refurbished and looks lovely. I’d absolutely recommend a visit.

Mariea and Ellie gave us such a warm welcome and made us feel at home. Their service was outstanding. The room had a beautiful view, which made the stay feel extra special. The location is fantastic, right near the tram stop and about a 10-minute walk from Waverley Edinburgh Station, so getting around was easy. Breakfast was amazing, with lots of fresh choices, and there was a great selection of coffee and tea. Highly recommended!
