We arrived early as in 20 minutes the owner was informative, the bedroom clearly a family room, tea and coffee provided, hairdryer provided sign saying be quiet between 11pm and 8am but you could hear people in other rooms specially when using bathroom the carpet threadbare but for the price it was ok, cuttelry would have been useful as well as plates, shower mat for safety also a good idea

The Adelphi is a clean, low budget stay, and the low cost made the trip to Edinburgh possible. It’s an easy bus ride into downtown, but the long walk along the river into town was lovely and easily navigated, too.

Great price for large room

Property was very helpful with parking and eating establishments as we arrived after most eateries had closed. Good price for a large room with multiple beds, love seat, private bath, and loveseat. Minutes from downtown area across from a park. Be aware Hotels.com advertising as free parking and this is not true! Property owner has requested correction many times but sure will not update listing. Just ask where to park when making a booking.

Good value for money

The room was cosy and clean and had all the things I needed for a brief stay; hairdryer, towels, en suite, a kettle for tea and coffee, a tv. The hotelmanager and chambermaid were friendly too. Only one thing, there was this lingering smell of sewage in the room, which I didn't report.

The room I stayed in was right next to the stairs and the walls were either thin or the door didn't provide enough sound proofing. Either way, I was constantly woken up by people going down or up the stairs, even past quiet hours. I understand they can only do so much with what they have, but truly the first floor could be redone entirely and only have units on the second or third floor. The bathroom shower didn't drain and the doors barely closed, the floors on the first floor dipped so it felt like I was constantly on a slope...it was a poor experience all around. I hope they can make improvements soon!

Love this hotel, the owner is a lovely helpful guy and very welcoming.. We stayed in the family room which was fantastic and spacious.. The only down side to this hotel (which is nothing at all to do with the hotel) is Edinburgh council have introduced parking restrictions and charges in most streets which are around £3.10 per hour in the designated bays, it is not clear and evident on how or where to pay for these charges, they run Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5:30pm .The hotel used to be able to offer free parking. If you need a hotel that is easy to find, great for the surrounding area of Leith , comfortable clean rooms, has good transport links (bus/team) into Edinburgh city centre in twelve minutes, the bus stop is right outside the hotel and the team stop is about a 3 minute walk away.. Then this is the place for you.. Were We will definitely be booking again when we are next up in Edinburgh

Disappointed

Room was small over looking a scrap metal yard, also the room is so small one side of the bed was pushed up against the wall. There IS NO FREE PARKING, as it states on Hotels.com. you have to pay for parking at 6 hours a time, Monday to friday, then at the weekend it is free. We wasnt allowed in the building until 3pm, there is no breakfast, the carpet on the stairs is wearing away. Not happy with this hotel,

Clean and All good !

This isn’t the Ritz, the whole city was sold out so we started at the Adelphi and we’re pleasantly surprised. It’s tired and old but the rooms were refreshingly very clean and everything worked fine. Staff were helpful and allowed a bag drop prior to check in. A every simple stay. Nothing negative to say at all and I’d stay again if the whole city was sold out again

Beyond the Fringe !

We were there for 5 days. Good and bad points, first on arrival there was no parking (advertised as free), when we found parking it was expensive. The location is fine, nearto buses and trams. I wouldn't classify this as a Hotel, more serviced rooms with very limited facilities - i.e no drawers anywhere to put clothes and very limited hanging space, no fridge etc, 2 of us shared the one chair between us. No breakfasts were available and there is no bar or communal area. The shower was excellent, but our view looked over a builders yard whereas the front rooms of the hotel overlooked the park. Budget hotel ? yes if your budget can afford it but I thought quite expensive for what you get -(I stayed in hotels 30 or so times a year before lockdown) We went out everyday so we didnt use the room much - its ideal for a short stay if you are not too fussy but i wouldn't recommend any longer
